[Other Sport] Paris 2024 Olympics & Paralympics ***Official Match Thread***

Cram’s hype for Louise Maraval went to plan …. last.

That 400m hurdle wr seems understated, next best on the all time list other than bol is 51.58, incredible difference at 1 lap.

Generational performance that….she’s obliterated the rest. Wow.

“Generational” …. a word sports writers reserve for Adam Wharton.

 

[AZ Gull]

Great from KJT so far……

Serbia nearly beat the Dream Team 24

Come on, KJT. Make this last jump count.

Could you post the jumps please, as I don't have access

Sadly looks like another gold thrown away at this point as Thiam is now in a position of strength in what will probably be the deciding discipline.

Two rounds of three - KJT about 6.04, Thiam about 6.50 I think

 

[Simster]

Thank fcck for that

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Better!

6.40

I read this post thinking you were ahead of me and she’d f***ed up her third jump! Now back in it

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Will be behind after Javelin so needs to make that deficit up in 800m tonight

 

[Simster]

Better!

Thiam only 1cm better but with a jump to come. Reckon that could be the gold decided right there.

Not sure why the French girl has come in LOTR elf cosplay.

Senseless intimating that KJT is a bottler. As her career has coincided with the Thiam, the best.

 

[Simster]

Looks like Thiam has failed to take advantage.

6.41

I don't think anyone has remotely suggested that.

 

[nwgull]

They’re going to be neck and neck going to Javelin. I know Thiam is better there, but I can’t remember how KJT compares with her in the 800m.

It’s usuallly a done deal by then, but I assume that KJT would be stronger based on her lighter build.

Thiam is MUCH better at the Javelin.
KJT is MUCH better at the 800m

Going to be close. Most likely down to whether KJT can pull out one good throw (as she did in the shot).
