Not being funny but this has been a shocking olympics from GB.
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
is that another “should have been” Gold 
Argh bodged change in the relay
Ouch fumbled changeovers stung there.
Sums up GB Olympics , far too many golds thrown away
Amazing suplex from Motoki.
Kone number 6 is a very very player
Ffs GB threw that gold away. Again. Which is so annoying because their changeovers have been perfect for a while. Fecking hell
Darryl though… so close to closing that gap, two poor handovers really.
Hmmm would we have beaten the USA though even with smooth changeovers? They had a bit of a margin
Usually our relays changeovers have been our strength so far. Shame to mess up in a final.
Wow that was just amazing! Snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
Wait til Kilty gets involved for the men
Has GB ever not messed up a relay at an Olympics? There is usually at least one in each Games.
The rain could make things interesting if it stays all evening
Gutting, after 2 legs we were miles ahead
10 gold medals for the USA in Track and Field.
The best-worst Olympics? Or the worst-best?
Yeah true. I’ve just never seen so many individual errors across so many disciplines in one games. Shows the fine margins of things to be fair.
One thing that is exciting is that we have a really young team across loads of sports that hopefully means we’ll smash LA.
It’s been an olympics of nearlies for sure. Medal count is going to be decent but we’re 5 golds down on where we should be probably
Were we even in the changeover zone for the last change? Looked very close?
We do have a habit of messing up relays
We do have a habit of messing up relays
The worst best. The worst since we started trying (spending loads).
Yeah, GB should’ve won. But they were in front because the U.S. messed up the exchange.
One gold and one bronze in the sailing, which got huge funding. That's under-performed.
Equestrian and rowing hit their targets, and cycling was missing favourites through injuries. I do look at Australia and think we could be there with some small improvements.
Okay, I instantly dislike the mean-mugging American in the shot put.
That seems massively OTT.
Yes we’ve missed out on some golds by the tightest of margins but to call it shocking is very harsh.
We always find a way to blow the Gold medal, changeovers have to be slick when facing the US and typically they weren't. No good doing it in a heat when there's nothing at stake.
Let's not mess this one up please
What the feck was that from Carlin?
Getting DQ’d for change over would be the cherry on the cake at this point.
Shot put looks carnage
He has done a few odd things this Olympics.What the feck was that from Carlin?
The thing is though, the GB women have been getting really good at their changeovers in the last few years. They’ve been really well drilled. So getting two feck ups in the same race was unexpected this time.
I think it was the 2004 men’s 4 x 100 where we got a surprise win basically because we had such clean handovers
It really was.
Sha'carri Richardson's side stare there
Just had to happen in the games of so nearly
Richardson, ugh. No need for that shite.
They will be so gutted in their interview and rightly so because it was a huge chance to beat US
Is KJT going to win that 800m 0.01 second short of nicking gold later or what?
