Tokyo 2020 - Day 9 (Sun 1 Aug) (1 Viewer)

[dmlaw]

Last day of swimming. Second day of eventing. Men’s golf medals day. And the Men’s 100m final. Albeit that last one is unlikely to be relevant to GB.

Jesus that Hannah Roberts was a walking dyke stereotype.

 

[Madison]

Gold! Amazing

 

[rhythmbandit]

Gold! Amazing

Possible silver too for Declan Brooks now.

 

[Madison]

Shame about Ben Proud in the 50m - I was hoping for silver.

 

[Madison]

BMX bronze. Medal in all four bouncy-bike events.

 

[ButterTart]

Woke up to discover we'd won another gold, silver and bronze. Very pleasing.

 

[Madison]

The golf is reaching its ‘exciting’ conclusion. GB guy out.

 

[Apoca]

Stomach literally turning at the sight of that person about to be an Olympic Champion.

Just nauseating.

I'm out of the loop; who/why?

 

[Apoca]

Demon child and "alleged" abuser Alexander Zverev.

 

[Apoca]

Doesn't help that I'm getting plenty of texts from German friends and colleagues saying "tennis gold, you must be so proud to witness that."

Like FUCK OFF

Focus on the positives; Ludwig/Kozuch just beat Agatha/Duda in a thriller QF!

I love Laura Ludwig, so fierce.

 

[Madison]

It’s Whitlock time…

 

[Madison]

And he NAILS IT

 

[Madison]

Whitlock scored 15.583

Here are the medal ranges for the last championships

So how does this work, is that his final score or does he have to go again?

Final score. One go only.

He wins gold unless either of the next two get 15.583 or higher. 15.583 easily would have won the last three WCs, but not the last OG.

There were three ro go at that point, unless the BBC is well behind.

Two to go now.

 

[Indie]

Irish man dead

One to go

 

[Madison]

WHOOOOP

 

[Indie]

This isn't going to win.

Calling it now, gold for GB

 

[Madison]

WHOOOOOOOP DI DOOOP

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I think that's the first GB Gold I've watched so far.

 

[Madison]

I didn’t think he had it in him - I was just hoping for a medal.

 

[Madison]

What a man.

 

[wildchild]

Camacho-Quinn 12.26 in hurdles semis
12.67 needed for the final

 

[wildchild]

Rojas 15.41 with her first. That will be good enough for the gold but will she get the WR?

 

[Madison]

My word Gianmarco Tamberi is handsome. Shame Google is full of pictures of him with a hideous half-beard.

 

[dmlaw]

WORLD record in the Women's triple jump.

 

[BoysForSeles]

WORLD record in the Women's triple jump.

What a jump by Rojas, quality athlete and good to see one of the “murky” world records broken.

 

[Madison]

Bizarre end to the high jump - joint winners?!

@Sheena is this normal?

 

[rhythmbandit]

Ffs Zharnel.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Eliminated after ONE FALSE START?

 

[wildchild]

Su so happy for the 6th place (and Asian record earlier today), getting the Chinese flag out to celebrate

 

[Apoca]

SCREAM at these last few minutes for Italy.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Bizarre end to the high jump @Sheena is this normal?

I’m not Sheena obviously but I’ve seen it done for a bronze medal before, I guess if the athletes are agreeable to it then it can’t be forced.

 

[Apoca]

These 3.30 pm finishes in the afternoon are most UNSATISFACTORY.

I mean, it's probably a good thing and I'll be able to get other stuff done throughout the day but still.

As far as I can tell (ignoring Jim Thorpe retrospective justice-related shenanigans) this is only the second time (and the first since 1908) that they’ve awarded two golds in Athletics at the Olympics.
