Paris 2024 - Day 9 (Sun 4 Aug)

[Indie]

Long distance swimming starts soon.

That never gets coverage anyway. Nobody gives a shit.

Well, apart from the ones floating around in the river they're swimming in.

I caught the last half of set two and it looked like one of his best performances... ever. some incredible rallies played, most of which he got the better off.

Alcaraz somehow is significantly more dislikable than Novak so I was pleased!

I'll have to watch it after reading this.

Finally athletics are starting tonight (as far as today goes)! I'm going with the BBC this time.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm absolutely fine watching long distance swimming. Thank goodness for those flag graphics though, otherwise probably not.

 

[Finn]

I have LOVED the swimming

Congratulations to standard issue generic American Bobby Finke on winning the 1500m bronze

 

[Madison]

Ooh - Peaty is back

 

[Madison]

What a shame. We’ll never know who won.

 

[straightorbroken]

The replay we got on Eurosport of Michael Norman (pretty much all the way around from behind) was quite something.

 

[Madison]

Every year that goes by, Matt Richards looks more and more like his mother Jade Goody.

 

[PercyPig]

Duncan Scott can’t be arsed with Sharron

 

[Madison]

Duncan Scott screams LGBT ally.

 

[Madison]

The American women are so much more dignified than the men. The men would be shouting, hitting themselves, and whooping like gibbons.

Hinchcliffe should be disqualified from the 100m for that mullet.

 

[FetchFugly]

The look that Noah Lyles gave the wonderfully named Oblique Seville after he was beaten in his semi

 

[Kratz]

Louis runs like Cindy in Scary Movie

 

[rhythmbandit]

Emmanuel Matadi

 

[FetchFugly]

The mullet flies no further

 

[FetchFugly]

Jacobs looks THRILLED to be in the waiting area.

 

[Kratz]

Is Louis doing 4x100?

 

[FetchFugly]

Is Louis doing 4x100?

Yes, he was in the A team in the warm up relay at the London Diamond League.

 

[Madison]

Is Louis doing 4x100?

He’s one of five team members listed.

 

[Kratz]

He’s one of five team members listed.

I wish dead-eyed Gabby Logan would stop saying his games are over then.

 

[auretz]

Cabo Verde are today’s country that wins their first ever medal I’m still hoping Tuvalu manage one someday

 

[FetchFugly]

Jemma Reekie very disappointing, but you could feel it coming in that race.

 

[Eddie]

Shame about Jemma Reekie.

 

[Lucille]

Tuvalu

I’M A, I’M A SCORPIO!
YES, THE SEXY JEALOUS KIND
YOU HAD ME WHEN YOU SAID HI
HI!

 

[Suedehead]

Felt really bad for Jemma

 

[Suedehead]

I’M A, I’M A SCORPIO!
YES, THE SEXY JEALOUS KIND
YOU HAD ME WHEN YOU SAID HI
HI!

 

[Kratz]

Felt really bad for Jemma

Yeah she looked really fed up.

 

[Suedehead]

Come on Keely

 

[Madison]

She barely looks out of breath.

 

[FetchFugly]

Well Keely looked wonderful.

 

[Suedehead]

She's a legend she's an icon and she is
The Moment

 

[Kratz]

R KEELY

 

[FetchFugly]

Enough about her no doubt inane scribblings in that notebook.

 

[Soldi]

She looked a bit BORED by it all

 

[Suedehead]

She looked a bit BORED by it all

GOAT behaviour right there

 

[FetchFugly]

"Must jump higher."

 

[FetchFugly]

Eurosport/Discovery have the benefit of much less athletics chatter, but the chatter they do have (feat Iwan Thomas) is so rough it has me switching right over.

 

[PercyPig]

God Josh Kerr’s arrogance is TURNING ME RIGHT ON

 

[FetchFugly]

Josh is a sunglasses indoors twat but he is our sunglasses indoors twat.
