[Kratz]

The mixed swimming relays aren’t quite as exhilarating as the athletics

I’D RETIRE

I'd retire then find a private island and never leave. Mortifying.

He should capitalise on the now-worldwide knowledge concerning his ... impressive pole.

It’s weird seeing so many great Olympians in their teens/early twenties, when there are 27 year olds in my office I wouldn’t even trust to book me a taxi.

They only learned to run so fast to help them get further away from unexpected phone calls.

Hello everyone!

Greetings from Paris where I’m having a lovely time but am fucking exhausted.

Athletics and gymnastics today- had no idea I’d be seeing Simone Biles, which was amazing!

Athletics again tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Absolutely fucking exhausted.

Night!

Remco doing the time-trial and road race double. What a generational talent.

And yet the third best of the current crop of cyclists.

I find it a bit tough to compare him to Pogacar and Vingegaard. He's just leaning more classics and one-day. Though the first two have more obvious GT laurels over the last 2 years or so, that's without doubt.

Apparently SAFP did eventually get in but then suffered a strain warming up:

Penalty shoot outs in hockey are lot more interesting than football ones. A proper little scrap

Edit: India beat GB . BRING BACK THE EMPIRE

Edit2: this was meant for the Day 9 thread obvs
