Paris 2024 - Day 10 (Mon 5 Aug)

[rhythmbandit]

Enjoying Kayak Cross, and the Sprint which follows is usually quite entertaining.

Andrea Spendolini-Siriex 3rd in the Diving semi, collosal gap between the top 3 and everyone else.

 

[Indie]

We did well at the bouldering today. Two GB men currently in qualification spots for the final.

 

[Lucille]

Another big fan of the chaos of the Kayak Cross.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm a big fan of Britain getting gold medals but I've long since forgotten what that's like.

Instead of complaining, why not get involved? Plenty of sports still to come. British weightlifting needs you

Not a single man qualified for the synchronised swimming - there’s an opportunity there @ButterTart

 

[Indie]

Women's Kayak Cross has started. BBC showing on delay.

 

[Finn]

Ready to declare Kayak Cross my FAVOURITE THING OF ALL TIME

Also loved the quarters/semis being shown on delay so they could be played one after another, all killer no filler

 

[Indie]

BRONZE

[Madison]

FUCK’S SAKE

 

[Finn]

Not enjoying this WITCH'S CURSE that has set us in to rob us of our precious golds

It's alright, Laura Kenny just said we'll win 10 golds in track cycling

 

[PercyPig]

Looking forward to seeing @Finn barrelling down the white waters of LA and getting @ButterTart their elusive golds.

I already won gold in that when I briefly defected to Canada in 1988; I need a new challenge.

 

[Finn]

That felt QUITE LOADED and something she absolutely would not say if she were still in that team

 

[ButterTart]

Did you know Spandau Ballet first released their hit song ‘Gold’ to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the last time Britain won a gold medal?

 

[PercyPig]

Does @ButterTart take World Records?

 

[PercyPig]

Those Chinese helmets are class

 

[rhythmbandit]

OUCH.

Edit: I know it was yesterday but it probably still hurts today so it counts.

 

[PercyPig]

Does @ButterTart take World Records?

World record went twice more in the track cycling and now GB have just got it back

If it leads to a gold then I'll accept it.

 

[D5K]

They’re playing Rim Tim Tagi Dim at the athletics.

Truly the peoples champion.

 

[Finn]

It is objectively silly that the steeplechase has a waterjump, isn't it

It's like 10cm deep, too? A bit of a nuisance at most

 

[Kratz]

Can’t wait to find out what other opportunities we SQUANDER today.

I just saw the pole vaulter was the best in the world - entered at a starting height higher than everybody else and knocked herself out!

 

[Kratz]

OH NO CLARE BALDING

 

[Madison]

Why are BBC showing chat, and montage videos of athletes as children for the umpteenth time, instead of sport?

 

[Madison]

GOLD!

 

[PercyPig]

 

[Ellie]

GET IN!

 

[Kratz]

YAY!

 

[Madison]

It’s exactly as the Winged Victory foretold this morning.

 

[Nancy]

OH NO CLARE BALDING

I LOVE CLARE BALDING

 

[Ellie]

I’m just remembering the time in 2012 when the French team said something about GB having particularly round wheels compared to other teams
