What's Thaim thrown?

She hasn't. Goes in the second group at 11.30am

 

[Flounce]

KJT doing this the “Brighton” way, not over until the final whistle blows and fingernails will be bitten!

She's going to flatter to deceive and then lose?

This is a real possibility isn’t it?

Desperately hoping for a last minute winner though

To be fair to her, Thaim is simply better. KJT has performed a well as she could, and if she gets silver that's decent.

You clearly lack a winner’s attitude, probably well suited to being an Albion fan…like me

Where they're going wrong is they're not hitting the perfect 45-degree launch trajectory that was always the target in Daley Thompson's Decathlon.

Still one of my all time favourite games. I’d love to give it another go.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Anything over 47m is likely to give Thiam the lead. That’s well within her capabilities.

IIRC there's an IOS or Android mobile version of DT's Decathlon, not sure if it's still available though.

Track and Field, Daley Thompson's and Hypersports were amazing and, as a side benefit, enabled me to develop the wrist strength that has served me very well ever since.

Was it Track & Field that was an arcade game that gave you RSI from pressing the button as fast as possible?

Well within ? Unfortunately she’ll be miles past that

Ooh. I’ll have a look. TVM

It's not a given....

Don't even talk to me about Laura Kenny predicting 8 golds in the velodrome

 

[Muzzman]

I had a look, but can't find it.

Daley Thompson's Decathlon game resurrected for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets

It did exist though.

This Brighton Way thing is a myth. Whatever our target is for the season - whether that be play-offs, auto promotion, not belng relegated or European qualification - we usually acheive it with a game or 2 to play. Only exception I can think of is in 13/14.

Yeah, it's definitely that that gave you RSI
