I thought it was a joke. Some kind of end of event celebration.
I still think I'm being wooshed.
Is it just me or is Laura Kenny not . . .

Talking of future games, how come they're back in Australia in 2032, just 7 events after they last held it? Seems a bit ridiculous for a country of only 26 million people.

London is after 2040 according to Sadiq Khan.
The process seems different now. The cities hold discussions with the IOC committee who then put forward a preferred candidate. It's then ratified much later. Apparently it's to avoid influence.
Me neither.
That's not booked
I'm sure other countries will want it, so I don't see why it should be given to those (including us) who've just had it.

She’s astonishing, but I’d still place Joyner-Kersee above her: 1 silver, 2 gold at the Olympics (yes, worse than Thiam), and, critically for me, World Record holder @7291, vs Thiam’s 6880 yesterday, which is itself the best score in 2024.
My guess is that it - inofficially - might be connected to having a similar time zone as China.
I don't understand. They're not happy with the one we want to go for? Has it somehow been promised to us, which sounds weird.
Do we ignore the steroid allegations?
According to this it would appear not although I have no clue how correct he is, weirdly it came up on my yt recommended list the other dayThat's not booked

Yeah; there is that, I concede.
It’s tough, innit. Allegations, yes; but no proof. An asterisk against the record, maybe?
I love sport, but doping is a real downer on it. Regarding heptathlon though, I'm just saying it makes it difficult to compare the world records.
I agree on all points.
For the sake of the forum, can you just pretend you don't?

A couple of questions, what is the flag on the Dutch shirts not their normal flag but blue white blue? and are the Madison bikes fixed wheel??
Really useful, thanks
