Ireland are with a shout for a medal here, Adeleke looks rapid.
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Polish athlete is quite stunning.
SO easy for Paulino.
An Olympic too soon for Adeleke I think, in 4 years she will be up there.
Wait, we're behind?
Amber Anning for GB with a PB in both the semis & finals and a new British record. That’s very impressive
Man she slowed down too.... I don't buy the two best women's time being anywhere near legit, so slowing down just a tad likely cost her the third best time by 0.01.
American sprinters messing up the baton change is always a 50/50 proposition in a final.
And I don’t get how that shot putter is allowed to perform masked unless it’s for health purposes.

In wrestling some of the refs have ruined movements by stopping early.
Close final ongoing in the 57kg @Carolina Red @JPRouve
Why would the mask be a problem?
Bahraini athlete gets a two year ban for missing four drug tests in a year and comes back looking hench like Mezut Ozil. Bit of a piss take really.
Very, very close.
Spain 4-3
Just ran out of steam in the last grapple the American it seemed
Yeah these people now have their "own" games to compete in - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games
Possibly won't happen in reality.... but gaining traction
How much time left?
Yeah, it's not exactly gonna be giving some unfair advantage is it? I think it's fun.
What was the purpose of the mask? She took it off straight after getting eliminated so hardly covid related.
Spain 4-3 France now 10 minutes into extra time.
Impressed with Japanese in wrestling. Not sure how they are so good in these games.
20 mins
I'm a big fan of her and her drag lashes.
Well wrestling is heritage for them
They’re aiming for a superhero vibe apparently. Which is fair enough. It’s just a bit of craic.
Seems like a rollercoaster of a game.
I assumed they (I think I heard they use they/them) just think it's a cool look.
BBC is such garbage, still going on like KJT has a realistic chance of gold.
They are the third best nation after the US and Russia/USSR, as far as I know.
Hard not to feel like we overdid it with the hype for Adeleke. She looked short of the top athletes this time around. She needs a bit of time to work it all out and as @Massive Spanner said above, she’ll be in her prime at the 2028 games.
Sumo not this type
That one hurt my heart
So she's got to run 8 seconds faster than the Belgian?
No chance
No chance
Japan has been really good in the Olympic styles for awhile now. They're the 3rd most successful country all time
Look at the medal counts for each Olympics. They are generally in the top 3.Sumo not this type
Unless Nafi does a Slippy G / John Terry
@JPRouve @Carolina Red @MDFC Manager my apologies I stand corrected. Just don’t seem to remember many golds from them before.
What a jump from the Spaniard.
They were saying on RTE she’s never ran a time as fast as the top three which says it all really. Never likely to get a medal. @moses trying to con the lot of us. Some athlete though
