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

Race walking should be more of an endurance event. Competitors get sent off with the same amount of food & drink in a rucksack.

Get sent on a pre ordained route and the last 3 walking win the medals

H&S might have a moan though.....

Yeah, sounds like a Backyard Ultra, a 6,7 km loop every hour on the hour. Run fast and you might get 15-20 rest on a loop. They broke the record earlier this year in the Big Dogs Ultra in Tennessee, think the winner got 108 loops (x 6,7 km). Would be great fun. You get up eat breakfast, chech the standings, go to work, check it again before you go to bed, sleep a whole night while they still run/walk. Repeat for 4 days or more!

Damn I’m not home. Is the ginnel rule in play, or are they using Lord Melbury’s Revised Edition?

Either way, I’ll play it safe with Bounds Green.

Backtailing tail grab into the deep end.

We’ve all f***ed up on that

 

[Flounce]

I am in awe of these guys

Skateboarding - that was brilliant. Is there any more or is that it now?

Edit. It appears that that is that. Shame. Was great stuff

Although another Australian gold - which is always a low point in an Olympic event.

Women's beach volleyball is on iplayer at the moment. The Brazilian team are amazingly skilful - sometimes heading the ball!

I won't say which line it's on...but which tube station name contains the longest streak of consonants

Hmmm… I’ll get back to you on that after a think if nobody else guesses it before me

Loving listening to Laura Kenny. Speaks a lot of sense and seems a lovely person.

Australia absolutely bossing this Olympics, we're going to finish a fair way behind them.

She seems to have got it very wrong predicting 8 golds in the cycling though
