ONE MORE SLEEP TIL PARIS FOR ME, LOVES

 

[PercyPig]

Will the French be able to carry medal momentum into the athletic side of things?

I’ve loved seeing them get so into it.

What have you got tickets for?

 

[Sheena]

What have you got tickets for?

All the athletics sessions and Saturday’s gymnastics.

Might pick up some more in the week if I feel like it- really want to see breakdancing. Keeping a close eye on the resale sites.

If one fancied going via LE SHUTTLE and procuring tickets are there reputable avenues to still buy from?

There is the official site and resale site (both separate) but also ticombo.com- which has EVERYTHING! It’s also quite good for getting last minute deals. Check seller ratings to be safe and make sure you have the Olympic ticket app installed as tickets usually get sent straight there (look out for the “instant download” button!).

Come on @Kratz do it! We can share a BAGUETTE and a CRÈME DE MENTHE

 

[Sheena]

Oh and use the search term Summer Games- they clearly aren’t allowed to use Olympic in their advertising etc

 

[D5K]

I'm heading out to join the fun on Monday.

DO IT

Etc.

I believe even hotels have dropped in price to reasonable levels.

What are you seeing?

My mate went wild in the aisles on the ticketing website so I've got beach volleyball, wrestling, athletics, sport climbing, water polo, more athletics, diving, hockey, and the big balloon.

Oooh lovely!

I do want to pick up some other bits. I could have got water polo for £25 tonight but was exhausted and needed to do a bit of work so decided to be sensible. I imagine that won’t last!

I'm slightly worried I'll spend more time on the Metro than actually at the events...

Paris Olympics: there’s people on the pitch, court, mat and track – in pictures

Getty Images photographer Hector Vivas has created a series of astonishing images called Layers of the Games, which aim to shows in one image the multiple moments that happen during a game or a day of competition in Paris.

Love these!

apologies if discussed already - do we think it's likely that we'll see an investigation into doping inside USA Track & Field?

I'm still in shock at the way the women's 4x400m relay team had put 40m between themselves and second within the first lap... when you look at the sheer dominance of the US across the track events, I can't help feeling a little suspicious. hope I'm wrong obv.

Paris Olympics: Top stories from final day of the 2024 Games

Emily Campbell and Emma Finucane win two bronze medals for Team GB on the final day of Olympic action in Paris.

www.bbc.co.uk

The lack of mention for the significantly reduced gold count does feel a bit PROPAGANDA-y from the Beeb

It might just be one of those things, and the full medal count definitely makes it a good Olympics for Team GB overall, but it should be noted/considered

I watched a Jennifer Lopez RAGS TO RICHES movie last night (message: give up daughter for adoption and then get offered consulting job at P&G)

BRING BACK THE OLYMPICS!!

I've been watching so many interviews with our Team GB HEROES on the YouTube, just to keep the Paris 2024 dream alive a bit longer

Can’t quite believe the wickedness of this woman.

Setup her own governing body

I think that's already been debunked and filed under CONSPIRACY THEORY.
