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

[Grizz]

Very late as it’s all going to be scheduled in LA for US TV times

Might try and arrange for my week of night shifts for then

One last gold and a silver and we edge the French overall. In their own back yard.

Guaranteed at least silver in the taekwondo

I have noticed a few winners from the US and Africa waving 'Jesus' messages after their event.

And the Pakistan field gold winner did a bit of genuflecting in the direction of Mecca.

If I had tried harder with my middle distance running I might have gone on to Olympic gold.

I wonder if there might have been any push back if I'd proffered my traditional "666, mark of the beast" celebration?

Just a passing thought.

I hope they will change that rule, it shouldn’t be possible to share a medal.

What are you thinking, fight to the death?

 

[Is it PotG?]

What are you thinking, fight to the death?

Rock, paper, scissors

 

[Swegulls]

What are you thinking, fight to the death?

I just think it would be nice with one winner. Why don’t back 10-15 cm and start all over again?

Edit: What I mean is that they should not be able to decide to share it.

GB wins silver, its first medal ever, in Artistic (Synchronised) Swimming!

 

[Triggaaar]

Rock, paper, scissors

Nasty. Think I'd rather die with a rock to the head than a million paper cuts.

 

[Swegulls]

So, you just need a gold to get past France now?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Come on CC.....

 

[Triggaaar]

Iranian is so much taller, there's going to be a lot of gentle head kicks.

Caden wins the 1st Round.

Win the 2nd and it's gold.

He looks confident.

Edit - 1 round all. Good recovery by the Iranian. All on the 3rd.

This Iranian bloke already giving off massive dickhead vibes to my untrained eye

So, you just need a gold to get past France now?

Blackpool gets a bad press. Hope there's been no trouble this weekend.

 

[vegster]

We are kicking arse in the Face Kicking event.

 

[crodonilson]

Is the cycling event with the little guy on an electric bike at the front tomorrow??

 

[Triggaaar]

Win the 2nd and it's gold.

Silver, shame
