Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

[MCFC1993]

Great night of athletics coming up, women's 4x100m first. Chance of a medal, silver probably, hopefully gold. Think the US will get gold, hopefully not.

Need Asher-Smith to get one of her electric starts.

I think BBC are obliged to talk about British athletes, I get that, but I think they take it too far, why not give us some good info on the best from other nations. Seems a bit over the top sometimes.

I suppose you have to be seen to be backing your own.

 

[jimharri]

Turned out nice this evening. If you're a duck.

 

[MCFC1993]

Silver, 2 terrible changeovers involving Hunt but I think we're getting disqualified.

 

[MCFC1993]

We win that if the last changeovers were even average.

Add that one to the 'could have been gold' pile. Shame because the running was really good

 

[jimharri]

Two very poor changes there. Arguably cost them a gold.

 

[SebastianBlue]

After his horrible gaff early on, Tenis (Spain keeper) has been absolutely brilliant.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Close to a DQ on the 2nd change.

To the Americans. Again.
