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

[Simster]

We all were

It's just a shame that America won an equally important silver in the same race.

Classic Olympics!

Murray and Evans on the proper telly. Swimming on the iPad. Both coming to a head more or less at the same time. A fantastic 60 seconds of entertainment.

Currently 10-9 in the Murray/Evans match tiebreak.

3rd match point....and they take it! Through to the QF!

Tough potential match next against 3rd seeds Fritz/Paul from the USA. But you never know...

I would love to see them vs Alcaraz and Nadal, I guess it will happen in if they both keep winning

Let's go Potter and GTB.

At least one world record will.be set this morning. For the greatest number of people making effectively the same joke at the same time: 'Swim in that? They must be inseine.'

Here's hoping Georgia gets better luck this time on the bike than the puncture she got in Tokyo 3 years ago.

This is like Wacky races

I would not fancy cycling in those high cut tri-suits. Imagine skidding across the tarmac without even a layer of Lycra to protect you

With all those triathletes in the group together, it's just a case of who's got the best runners now assuming they can all stay upright for the last lap.

GTB's excellent in this as she proved in Tokyo. Potter very decent too. But Emma Lombardi's a big threat with the home crowd support.

Top 3 from one or both of the Brits is very much on.

Skateboarding in the Olympics…… Oh my days.

More or less, but there is a factor that a tough 40K on the bike can take a lot out of the legs of the weaker cyclists just trying to keep pace with the pack.

Yes indeed - they'll have expended extra energy just staying upright in those slippery conditions. And the current in the swim wasn't easy.

I'm just happy that GTB survived the bike ride this time without any mechanicals.

Feeling confident for a GB medal, although GTB is dropping back now.

Potter's in the leading group of 4.

Beaugrand of France has definitely gone into my would list this morning

Beaugrand - great finish in the final stages from her for the gold.
