Paris 2024 - Day 13 (Thu 8 August) (1 Viewer)

[Lucille]

Jack looks so much sexier when he’s angry.

 

[Ill Advised]

And the Taekwondo is bloody tense again

 

[Indie]

Fuck diving, Bradley Sinden is in the kicky-kicky quarterfinals on the red button right now.

 

[PercyPig]

And the Taekwondo is bloody tense again

It’s such a short space of time for it to be over

 

[Ill Advised]

Phew

 

[Madison]

Sinden through to the kicky kicky head head semifinal.

 

[Indie]

Whoop! Well done kickyman.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Is Sinden guaranteed at least bronze like in the boxing semis?

 

[Indie]

Is Sinden guaranteed at least bronze like in the boxing semis?

Don't think so. Boxing only do it because losers in boxing tend to be injured.

 

[Madison]

Is Sinden guaranteed at least bronze like in the boxing semis?

No. There are still two bronzes, but losing semifinalists have to face off against even losier losers coming through the repecharge.

 

[Madison]

The system means that, for Jade Jones to have the chance to fight for a bronze, we need the Macedonian lady who beat her to make the final.

 

[Indie]

The repecharge system is stupid. If you're not sure you've got the best going through, hold a group stage round-robin.

 

[GALA]

This presenting duo for the diving don't really work well together. The guy needs to dial it back - he sounds like that Sam Thompson reality TV guy.

The Macedonian lost.

 

[dmlaw]

I guess there may be enough chance of injury in kicky kicky hop hop that they don’t want the shittest ones to have to get beaten up three times.

 

[Indie]

Looking forward to the Omnomnomnium in a bit. The whole thing seems a bit of a mess when viewed but that's half the fun.

 

[Madison]

Jack Laugher misuses reflexive pronouns. So disappointing.

 

[Lucille]

He could misuse my REFLEXIVE PRONOUN.

 

[Indie]

Oh no, breaking starts tomorrow. And they classify the athletes as b-boys and b-girls.

 

[PercyPig]

This kite surfing is insane

 

[Indie]

Ooh kitesurfing seems exciting

 

[Indie]

Setting ourselves up for another silver in the kitesurfing

 

[rhythmbandit]

Absolutely loving the kite surfing and Taekwondo.
*doesn't watch or research either subject again until LA28.*

 

[Indie]

Oh come on BBC, there's loads of sports to choose from

 

[PercyPig]

No idea what was going there. If they lap they still have to jostle for position?

 

[Lucille]

GOLD in kitesurfing! Feels like the last one was 100 years ago.

 

[Indie]

but not going to be a gold in the kickykicky.

 

[Madison]

FUCKING BBC

 

[Madison]

I’M WATCHING TV - DON’T PUSH NOTIFY ME

 

[Madison]

Fuck’s sake

 

[Soldi]

We’re TEASINGLY close to France

 

[Madison]

but he finished 29th in the first round (fencing) :/

It looks like our lady champion from Tokyo did much better - 3rd?

 

[ButterTart]

GOLD in kitesurfing! Feels like the last one was 100 years ago.

One of our shithouses actually put a bit of graft in?

 

[Madison]

Oh dear.

 

[Indie]

It looks like our lady champion from Tokyo did much better - 3rd?

I'm thinking it doesn't even matter that much, it's a prelim match to determine order. I think. Maybe.

 

[Lucille]

What on earth is this cycling event?

 

[Indie]

What on earth is this cycling event?

Kierin?

At best, it's an excuse to hold more varied events on a stage where there couldn't be many variations.

Although i think they've got rid of the @Madison this time around. That was a fun event.

Fear not - the Madison lives and is still its own event.

 

[Madison]

I’ve never understood the point of having both the spring and the Keirin - it just seemed to be a ploy to give Hoy and Kenny more medals.

I’d bring back the kilo.

 

[Madison]

The BBC is really struggling to cover the omnium properly.
