Paris Summer Olympics 2024

Its incredible technique or what. Astonishing to watch.

Men's BMX racing final - gold silver and bronze all to France.

Goddamn that was a fucking great men's 10K just now.

japan men’s volleyball into the quarterfinals for the first time since 1976

10K race was incredible!

France v Racist Cunts (Argentina) game ended as expected in a huge stramash on the field which seems to have continued off the field. France beat the Racist Cunts by the way.

Separately, hell of a read, hell of a person.

Caught the end of the women's trampoline final. There was a _lot_ of crying.

Xxxp Olise setting up Mateta for France to beat Argentina is it? That's pretty much Crystal Palace defeafing racism.

Not sure why Argentina are so bitter about france btw, they seem real mad that they couldn't close out a world cup final where they were 2-0 up and dominating up to the 80th minute

They're racists and the French team has a lot of black players. There's your explanantion.

Yup. Argentina and Uruguay are very racist. Shame really, I liked some of their teams, and was glad the Argies won the WC (its criminal that Europe have been winning so many WCs)

At the table tennis Bronze medal match and its grand

Sadly missing the gold medal match for that and Badminton ladies doubles later :-(

Hayata has a grip on this match now..3-1

haha, after simone biles did her two almost impossibly perfect runs on the vault they showed a shot of the women who hadn't gone yet and you have never seen unhappier gymnasts in your life. they were like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

BBC showed shots of the North Korean and Bulgarian women who had gone before Biles and even they were like fuuuuuck.

Rhys McLenaghan gets gold for Ireland on the pommel horse! First Irish gymnast to ever win a medal at the Olympics

I'm at my sister's just now and she said, "Whoever heard of an Irish gymnast?"

I can't remember any other Irish gymnasts either tbh!

that's like the men's gymnast from the philippines i watched this morning who won the gold in the floor routine. first men's medal for the philippines EVER. any kind of metal.

oh, and to be clear, not just the first medal in gymnastics. in any sport.

I don't think that's right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_for_the_Philippines

oh okay maybe they did mean gymnastics then. they confused me.

yeah, boxing. i should have thought of that. they always have good boxers in the philippines.

Was gonna say, they're bound to have won some boxing medals.

Snoop Dogg keeps appearing in random places. Today - in the dressage audience wearing full dressage gear.

flava flav looked good at the gymnastics this morning. kool moe dee looked great at the table tennis yesterday. okay, that one i might have made up...

I was watching the athletics earlier and the commentary was going on and on about the British runner and I kept thinking where is he, I can't see him. Then I realized that it's because the British athletics team have decided to dress up as New Zealand athletes for some reason.

What a race, the 4x400. The Dutch just do it. US were there till the last 20m.

xp Femke Bol came out of nowhere to win the mixed relay for the Dutch.

MalcIntosh timed that perfectly. 3rd gold in the pool at 17.

one of the commentators was weirdly disparaging about the 4x400 as an event

Dutch woman in that last 50 metres was just incredible, looked like she had another gear as she glided into the lead

Awesome, St Lucia gold at the women 100m!!

Its really weird seeing the US being denied gold after gold in the last hour and week. Just three across track and pool in the last half hour.

She won that 100m in a canter.

Ledecky does it! Titmus pushed her only a touch..

seeing the US being denied gold after gold in the last hour and week

denied gold? what a strange way to put it. all these athletes are world class athletes who can put together a winning performance or lose their slight edge over their peers, just through the concurrence of several tiny circumstances. that's what makes these competitions exciting.

xxxp
Femke Bol finish was incredible. Her hurdles race later this week will be epic.

US win a terrific relay ahead of China by a finger!

First ever Olympic medal for Dominica.

Yup, women's triple jump. Awesome night for Caribbean sport

US had been standing out in the table for having so many more silver and bronze than gold but of course that will balance out more now...not sure how unusual it is really but most of the top nations have had a more even spread

home watching replays now. couldn't watch anything today. starting with swimming.

holy cow @ the last few minutes of the France vs Brazil Women's Soccer Quarter

I promise, no matter how much you think are, you are not ready for the sound of her voice
