Olympics 2024

Fasted finals ever. The commentators couldn’t even call it at the time.

Not sure if anyone caught the windsurfing but I was surprised that it’s now a foil board rather than the normal daggerboard. Not really into it. Surely it becomes a very different sport. The board isn’t in contact with the water. Seems wack to me.

Because my plane was delayed and the baggage claim bit took so, so, so long I missed the final by less than 10 minutes. Had to listen to it on the radio which didn’t really work.

The American literally won by the length of his toe box. I like many other people thought the Jamaican had won. Every other part of his body was ahead of the American’s besides the toes. Good think he was wearing orange shoes.

Les, can you change your name to Victor Meldrew? I swear the world exists to wind you up!

Positive about mediocre England performances though :wink:

Yeah that seems odd to me. If surfing was on foils it’d be a different sport

Yes gold! So hyped.

We could have had 2 in the kayaking earlier too and maybe one in the triathlon relay (which is an amazing event to watch btw).

Been looking forward to the pole vault since the start of the games.

Unless something goes horribly wrong, should have a gold in the women’s 800m in a little bit too.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Here’s a link to the street finals with Swiss French commentaries but that’s better than nothing I suppose > Résultat - RTS Sport

And the BBC didn’t show 2 of the attempts so they could talk absolute shite. Cheers guys.
