Paris 2024 - Day 8 (Sat 3 August)

"We'll give you a moment to CONTROL YOURSELF"

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

I’ve never been very excited by the pommel horse but that was THRILLING!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

The BBC are showing the Imane Khelif match. I know it's a headline, but it just seems... needlessly provocative. I dunno.

Spoiler: Spoiler

She won and she's guaranteed a medal

.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Just to say the Hungarian boxer, looks like a Scouse scally. Have a bit of that TERFS.

They did a clickbait push notification saying just that, it’s ridiculous.

 

[Apo-KANT!]

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

I agree ordinarily a women’s boxing quarter final wouldn’t make it to the main coverage, however it’s a big story so they’re obviously going to feature it. I watched it live and wouldn’t ordinarily have any interest in the event.

 

[FetchFugly]

I've finally been driven to Eurosport by the endless BBC athletics chatter. Think I may switch back for the big races mind.

 

[FetchFugly]

Dina didn't seem to have it at all there. After her heat she was saying the right things but didn't seem at all happy.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Poor Dina.

Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce withdraws too.

 

[auretz]

Saint Lucia have never won a medal, but seem to have a very strong chance of changing that in the women’s 100m

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

The Mixed Relay entrances are giving Eurovision Flag Parade realness.

GB in the final but doesn’t appear to be a priority event.

 

[Madison]

YES FEMKE BOL!

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

That was crazy. Love this silly little new event!

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I love these mixed relays! So much fun. Bol just charged them all down. Well done to the GB quartet.

 

[Madison]

The Americans look mortified as if they have let down their country. Which they have.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

The littler British guy is VERY CUTE.

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

The littler British guy is VERY CUTE.

Cute AF

That entire British quartet are gorgeous

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Oh shut up Balding

 

[BoysForSeles]

Poor Dina.

Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce withdraws too.

The women’s 100 was looking like the marquee event until both Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson both pulled out. Disappointing.

 

[win_the_game]

Eurosport saying Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce didn't start in the 100m semi final as officials wouldn't let her into the stadium.

 

[Apo-KANT!]

A sub 48s for Bol on the anchor leg is massive. Such a nice little revenge story after the faceplant in Budapest last year.

 

[FetchFugly]

Eurosport saying Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce didn't start in the 100m semi final as officials wouldn't let her into the stadium.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Rooting for ST LUCIA’S first ever medal!!!

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Daryll didn’t need to serve so much cunt just then!

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Eurosport saying Ivory Coast. It’s Côte d’Ivoire!

 

[rhythmbandit]

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

YAAAAAAAY!

 

[FetchFugly]

YES!

Neita about where she should be. The Jamaican really underperformed from the semi run.

 

[Finnland]

That bell is giving chemo ward

 

[auretz]

Saint Lucia have never won a medal, but seem to have a very strong chance of changing that in the women’s 100m

And they not only got one but it was a gold

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

And they not only got one but it was a gold

And in such a high profile event! Best possible result!

 

[BoysForSeles]

Sha’Carri managing to be a good sport there in defeat, not something she’s always good with. Great run from Alfred, Richardson seems to run better when she’s not in the middle of the pack. Colin Jackson doing his best to zap any energy out of the moment as usual with his commentary.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Kovac’s reaction there was intensely erotic.

 

[FetchFugly]

Dominica's first Olympic medal too with gold in the triple jump.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

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.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Dominica's first Olympic medal too with gold in the triple jump.

I was glad she went over 15 metres, event really missed Rojas though who’s been dominant for years.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

 

[rhythmbandit]

Lewis Richardson guaranteed at least a bronze in the Boxing.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

I’D RETIRE
