How many golds is that now for Ledekey?
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Kirpichnikova literally lost her french during her interview. 
Think it's her 7th individual alone, can't be arsed to check. Something like 15 or so?(also misread the question, thought it was medals on general, not gold)
Actually checked, 8 gold. Relay hasn't been productive for her. She's won gold since London, and won 4 in Rio(200m to 800m plus 4x200 relay)
Random question but seeing highlights of the Triathon, will Yee get to keep the banner at the finish line? Something I’ve always wondered whether the winner gets to keep it.
Damn Murph 
Depends on the event. A former colleague of mine won Bolton Ironman in 2022 and they managed to keep it.
The American men have been either meh or disappointing so far.Damn Murph
Do we think Ledecky can go to 2028?
She says that’s her goal
If she swims only 800 and 1500, yes.
Marchand up next.
I've wondered that too!
Marchand has a big lead already, this guy is unreal.
All hail King Leon. Almost had the WR. So close.
Another gold for Marchand!
Marchand, beast. Was getting caught in that last 50 though.
Like, how? How can you do that 2 hours after another final? Two Olympic records. Madness. Incredible.
He’s on another planet.
A bit more rested Marchand would’ve broken the WR.
A bit more rested Marchand would’ve broken the WR.
He's unreal. What a talent.
Going to inspire a load of French kids to become swimmers, it's one of the best things about the games.
I think so too.
What does he have left to compete in besides relays?
Being that good in two very different strokes too. Crazy. Both are so technical.
How many golds can Marchand still win in this olympics? I assume he'll do 200 IM and the relays?
46.40 what the feckkkkkk
Pan just smashed the world record.
His own record as well
Wow. World Record. Body length lead in the 100 free is absolutely insane. Hats off.
That's an incredible race by Pan, too!
What an Olympics. Really enjoying this.
What an Olympics. Really enjoying this.
Incredible.
That world record just got demolished.
Only set in in February as well.He was miles ahead.
6 I believe... but I'd hardly count of France's depth to get him relay medals, will be heavily dependent on home Olympics adrenaline. His 4 seem good value to Phelps 5 on an individual level to me though given the circumstances.... the 3 Phelps always got in the relays was basically a birth gift of America's great swimming depth.
Can’t wait for the 50m Freestyle, that’s usually a wild one to watch.
It’s crazy how many medals swimmers can actually win
America won Gold in 4*100 freestyle relay but couldn’t win a medal in the 100 freestyle individual race( not even top 5). They just have no real standout talent amongst male swimmers
In a pool that was supposed to be ‘slow’. That was a tour de force
At this rate, Marchand will be Prime Minister by the end of August.
Yes, it will be hard to match Phelps because France doesn’t have the depth.
Having said that, the crowd can push the French to gold or at least a medal. It’s unreal!
