Olympics Paris

Just watched the entire men’s road race (I have Covid, so 6 hours on the sofa was no problem). Epic stuff with a near-twist in the tail.

St Lucia get their first ever medal with a fantastic run that left the others behind :tada: :tada: :tada: :tada: :tada: :tada:

Really enjoying all of this.
Helps that my office has televisions in it (but no radios).
Happy to watch any of it, and love seeing the camaraderie.

Yesterday, from a long shot I thought the hole number signs on the tees looked like temporary toilet cubicles.
Now I can’t unsee it

So you had a VAR system for the skeet shooting but the IOC tell you not to bring or use it in the olympics.

GB lose gold because of a stupid judging decision when it’s absolutely clear from the video that it was hit.

Well it would have kept her in the shoot off, she wouldn’t necessarily have won gold even if it had counted.
The Chilean shooter had a shot called as a miss that she was convinced was a hit in the round previous. If that had counted there wouldn’t have been a shoot off at all.

the video replay showed that was a miss.

Kayak crashing on now :grin::boom:

Emma Finucane is a flipping freight train, and came across as a really nice young person in the bit beforehand.

Currently watching the men’s pole vault which looks next to impossible frankly!
