Not the best run by KJT still in the lead though going into day 2.
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
KJT top the end of the first day of the heptathlon. I really hope she can keep it together in the second day. It would be GB’s most emotional gold if she can do it.
Yeah, Lyles is a clown. Bolt was affably charming. Super confident without being arrogant. He just knew he was the best and somehow managed to entertain and have fun with it at the same time. Always gracious and respectful to his fellow athletes. Lyles mistakes all of that for being clownish, arrogant and obnoxious. It’s genuinely laughable the comparisons to Bolt.
I get it to a certain degree. Athletics is desperate for a character to replace Bolt and spark track and field back to life on the global stage. But that’s only going to happen through monstrous, wonderful performances; not all the antics in pressers and pre-race bollocks.
Only for Australia to swoop in and win..
Chopra seems under pressure.
Lyles decides to put on a mask now, cnutish thing to do really.
Akari Fujinami - women's 53kg from Japan just won gold. She's not lost since 2017. She's only 20.
It's about to go down!
Tara Davis-Woodhall takes gold in the long jump.
I hope that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone doesn’t lose this one. Nothing is guaranteed on the track.

Yeah he is under pressure, never thrown a 90 and few of those on the field have done it before. He'll feel the silver is under threat as well
What is?
Tara Davis 
I don’t think Sydney pushed herself yet, she’s been saving it for this.
Not sure, but go watch the 400m hurdles final! Should be a historic final.
Come on Bol
Wow! Demolition.

What happened to Bol?
Pulverised the dutch lady

Incredible performance by Sydney
1.5 seconds margin over 400m, absolutely mental.

Italy vs USA in women's volleyball final.
Bol is very hit or miss. No in-between.

Lyles has been paying tactical visits to other teams' bases.COVID
Tried to keep pace with Sydney at the start so was gassed in the home straight
That last bend was fantastic
