Paris 2024 - Day 15 (Sat 10th August)

[dmlaw]

I wonder if he knew that the javelin had finished before he ran off into the field.

 

[FetchFugly]

Yes! Good for Hamish Kerr, and at least the Americans have been deprived of one medal.

Great celebration too.

 

[Madison]

Why is he besmirching Jesus’s name with a lousy silver medal? Jesus would have wanted gold.

 

[FetchFugly]

They just cut away from Matt Hudson Smith trying on a fetching red beret.

All that looking to the sky got very old.

 

[Jark]

oh my god the high jump drama has been absolutely insane. intense scenes, cute competitors?

4x400m relay was also a TREAT

 

[dmlaw]

Whilst it would, of course, be funny to see the USA finish second in the medal table, the obvious downside is China.

 

[FetchFugly]

Charlie not playing the beret game.

Jesus would have made sure that he had a long enough piece of paper before starting to write his slogan.

 

[Finn]

No offence but how the fuck are IRELAND in this relay? And doing well?

 

[FetchFugly]

A medal in every relay... mainly bronze but STILL

 

[Finn]

Charlie not playing the beret game.

He knows a red beret would NOT compliment his palette

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Silver for the synchro ladies

 

[Kratz]

Are we now converts to the USA version of the medal table? Because we are third in that.

 

[Finn]

No offence but how the fuck are IRELAND in this relay? And doing well?

And causing relay-ending CHAOS for the Jamaicans???

 

[rhythmbandit]

Super Saturday part II!

 

[dmlaw]

So, not to put a curse on tomorrow’s events, but we should get more medals than Tokyo. We could even get more than Rio for the second most medals ever. We’re just going to be down on golds.

No

 

[Finn]

So-So Saturday

I'll take that tbh, after how things have been going this past week

 

[Finn]

I'll never care for judo, purely on account of the kids who did it at my school all being bullies and/or weirdos

EDIT: Oh wait apparently this is Taekwondo. Is there a difference

 

[Madison]

Come on. Kick that lady in the face.

 

[Madison]

That’s not fair at all.

 

[dmlaw]

If she’s injured after trying to cheat then default the bitch.

 

[Madison]

Kick her whilst she’s down. In the face.

 

[Kratz]

Lovely use of the Tron soundtrack

 

[Madison]

Kick her now.

 

[Madison]

I hate this sport.

 

[Eddie]

I find the scoring for the taekwondo most confusing. It doesn't help that there always seems to be a delay.

 

[Finn]

COME ON CADEN

 

[rhythmbandit]

Caden can kick me in the face anyday.

 

[Finn]

Why is the ref wearing a TIE?

 

[Madison]

This Iranian is so much more polite than the Turkish lady.

 

[Madison]

I hate this sport.

 

[Kratz]

These games can end now thanks.

 

[Lucille]

Have the B—BOYS been on yet?

 

[Finn]

Do we know if there's a reason FREED FROM DESIRE has become the anthem for these games? It's a banger, but it's not French?

It's everywhere. At the skateboarding heats on Wednesday a host came out and tried to get us all to dance to the full song in a break. (I did NOT, but most did)

 

[Finn]

Have the B—BOYS been on yet?

Peacefully executed in their sleep after yesterday's debacle, I hear

 

[D5K]

It was all over the Euros too.

@GALA ?

I believe it’s the fault of dirty straight football fans.
