I’ve never seen both wrestlers leave their shoes on the mat at the same time before (symbol of retirement). It happened today after the first 125kg bronze final.
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I think it’s 4 not 14. She ran 3:59 even in the semis
Thanks.
Drama for Barshim 
Well to be fair that kind of mistake would sum up the BBC's coverage this time.
GB's McGowan into the Taekwondo +67kg Bronze Medal match.
Neither of the "oh let's share golds because we're grade A cowards" from Tokyo winning here. Beautiful.
They’re all shot
It’s been 4 years and I remember you complaining about it back then too.So here is a newbie question - how big is wrestling in the USA? What is the level of competition and funding?
3 years. I have an irrational dislike for both
If there's another similar situation this time with the Kiwi and American then I'm never watching this farce of a competition ever again.
Hamish Gold then?
Oh so this time they could share the gold but decided to feck it and still jump?
Great wrestling final in the 125 category. Both wrestlers delivered.
Imagine if he jumps that and takes gold of the American
Eurosport commentator thinks Kerr has already won gold on his own. I’m confused
Nice to battle it out.
Wait…why didn’t the New Zealand guy try and jump if they’re level?
looks like they don’t want to share the medal?
I assumed he just botched his run up.
Yeah impressive and I wonder how they came to that
They're not BFFs
These two are actual athletes with integrity.
They didn’t realise they were still tied on two failures. I think they were applying an old rule because that’s what their computer was telling them, which was that the Kiwi was in first place on his own. Pretty poor for Eurosport tbhlooks like they don’t want to share the medal?
No way they didn’t know the rules and I think the computer was showing them tied first
Makes sense! I am liking this - it’s a high jump sudden death penalty shootout!
The commentators absolutely didn’t know the rules! They were repeatedly saying Kerr was the gold medalist McEwan silver. Now they’re trying to cover up their mistake
Going to end up clearing about 2.20 to win this. Both look as though they’ve lost some spring!
Height went down?
They're not clearing 2.36. Just move to 2.33 already
I think the American feels confidet that he has more left in the tank and therefore wants to go for it.
My commentator said explicitly they must know the rule but still decided to keep goingThe commentators absolutely didn’t know the rules! They were repeatedly saying Kerr was the gold medalist McEwan silver. Now they’re trying to cover up their mistake
I don’t think you understand what I’m saying
High jump is getting tedious now.
Ye, also 4x400 about to start so they are pissing off the organizers already
Will keep going down if neither clear it.
Yeah, Samid's wrong, this is crap.
I think he's just american. They're a weird country of weirdos who don't understand the value of just taking a win when they have it
Ah ok you never suggested athletes got it wrong, only English Eurosport team. Right
