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

[Triggaaar]

Laura Kenny reckons we could get 8 (eight) Cycling golds.

Maybe we would if she hadn't retired

 

[Flounce]

Hockey going well, 1-0 down in less than a minute

 

[Scappa]

World record for GB in the women's team sprint

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

GB top their heat in the Men's team pursuit.

 

[BevBHA]

Never watched a game of hockey before. Do the players not all suffer with awfully bad backs?

The girl in the skeet shooting: couldn't she have said to the other girl after drawing at 55 each or
something: do you want to share the gold? I'm sure that would have been a fairer way to go.

I played league hockey for a bit in my 20s. Yes !

Just turned on BBC 1 for Pointless and I got the GB Hockey match...how ironic.

 

[Flounce]

Is it me? The longer the pro Brit hyperbole before an event from the BBC, the bigger the balloon pop.

Happening big time this evening with Hodgkinson, I think she may already have the Gold won

 

[Seagull58]

No, I'm at work although I understand there was some poor form from the audience in her beam routine.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Gold in the Velodrome
Women’s Sprint

New World Record

 

[Bozza]

Amazing riding!

 

[Muzzman]

Love the velodrome. Glad I bought beer.

 

[Scappa]

Gold and another new world record

 

[Seagull58]

GTFI!

 

[dazzer6666]

Boom

 

[Frutos]

Gold in the Women's Team Sprint, and another World Record!

I was lucky enough to see the Team Sprints in person at London 2012, its a brilliant event to watch.

 

[Mackenzie]

They smashed that! Different class

 

[KZNSeagull]

Marvellous

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Looking at the medal table, how is it that big countries like Argentina, Mexico, South Africa barely register? I'm guessing finance, infrastructure and other factors. Even Spain are down in 26th currently.
