A late request but it would be nice to know which sport a poster is talking about.

What are yous watching?Proper scrap between the Brazilian and the Dutch women here
Judges got that floor wrong. Luke definitely had the best of all of them.
I saw one of the great Usain Bolt recently with a beer gut. Was quite impressive to be fair.
what happened to Skotheim? Anyways, it's not Rooth is the danger is the estonian, the puerto rican and maybe Victor. How's Neugebaur in the Javelin these days?
Not that great as far as I know, can only go by what commentators are saying though
S.Korean woman lost 
in the bronze medal final. Gold and silver went to the other two....
Biles up next in the vault
in the bronze medal final. Gold and silver went to the other two....Biles up next in the vault
Hungarian and American girls slicing each other open with their swords
Wonder if she will do that ridiculous vault she did in qualifying, she didn't in the team
It's between Rooth and Neugebaur. The others aren't relevant. Predicted points: https://www.parismultis.com/decathlon
Kayak Cross, it was decent as an individual but they have 3 or canoe at a time now.
Bad luck?
Apparently he said in Eurosport interview that didn't get the degree of landing he wanted
Insane crowds for the final of the road race.
MvdP vs WvA. The latest chapter
Alaphilippe is there as well, which makes it a lot more interesting.
Kayak cross is like the pugil sticks event from Gladiators but while going down white water rapids
Remco: "Hold my beer"
If Remco wins this what a palmares he is building.
She did the Biles. She's getting close to 16 points on this one
Does the big step back not matter anymore when gymnasts land, it used to be a must have to win these events I’m sure.
It does matter. Execution scoring is done by starting from 10 and then subtracting penalties. She got 0.7 points of penalty for that and the landing was part of it.
This second jump too, she'll get above 9 in E and get close to 15 points for it
Ok so she goes for high difficulty to negate any penalty from a hopped landing.
She also executes her jumps so well that the step on landing is the only big penalty she gets
I hadn't checked and assumed it was past halway in. 270km is a weird figure.
He could retire tomorrow and have an insane palmares. I reckon he'll just go all out for the Tour at that point.
Already won a Vuelta, might try for a Giro as competition should be easier(and it's the second biggest race in the sport). The TdF means having to beat those 2 mutant monsters, he's also one but it's doubtful he'll ever be able to stick with them in the mountains. Would need a 90s type of course, with 100+ kms of flat ITT
So the commentators are saying Remko keeps asking Madouas to take the lead and he keeps saying no…is that considered poor sportsmanship or fine tactics?
Fecking Remco. Well, at least it's not MVDP.
Andrade should have gone for a higher D score here...didn't even try for Gold here essentially. The Biles effect
If he had legs and is in a break and there are no team tactics at play it is poor form, but he was clearly buggered, and now dropped.
Nah, he just didn't have it. Remco is a mutant superman
In hindsight it might be a poor decision because it could've been guaranteed silver for France, while they might end up with nothing now. Have to wait and see.
Ok thanks. Interesting that there’s an assumption of working together in some cases. I like how Remko just told the camera man to back off
I thought that Irish guy put in a great effort. Would be great to see him sneak bronze but I reckon he’s knackered
It's never poor form. Just tactics that might be wrong or right. But if you feel like your chances of getting a medal is better by not leading, there is no obligation to lead.
How so? They could have worked together to set a faster pace and seal the top 2?
The tactics to this are alien to me, all so fascinating
Cycling is such a great sport, bikes are amazing, feck cars.
Madouas is getting caught here.
Madouas is getting caught here.
Not sure if it would've been a faster pace than Remco on his own, but faster than what Madouas is doing now. So yeah, could've kept the gap to the rest larger.
Do people actually watch hours and hours of more than 260km of cycling?
