Paris Olympics 2024 (non-cycling) thread

Bro Lyles is off in a wheelchair, whats going on, lmao

But as expected, the 100 meter guys are just simply way too strong. I wonder how many of the finalists of the 100s could run below 20.00, my bet is basically everyone which would be enough to beat everyone who didn't run it (Knighton was the best at 19.99).

But was a pleasent surprise!

Tebogo is probably as much as a 200m guy as a 100m one and will prun the 4x400m relay as the final guy.

Lyles peacocking like mad at the start, coming 3rd then faking an injury because he lost, just absurd heel antics.

The guy is just such an unlikable clown. Got kinda luck in the 100m.

Wtf just happened in javelin

 

[Mayomaniac]

Tebogo wtf.

19.45 while chilling the final 25m.

Are you not entertained?!

10/10 for the deadpan humor.

Yes, but still, I predicted this would happen.. Have said for a while now that the talent and especially depth is absolutely nuts on the 100 these days.

"'Lyles has Covid' - US Track & Field says"

(Did see him in a mask before now that I think of it, Tebogo worthy winner anyway with that time)

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lyles claiming he's got covid now

Why's he being carted off in a wheelchair like he's Christopher Reeve or something then, making sure all the cameras see, it's not a muscular injury, just walk off you b*llend!

 

[BullsFan22]

Lyles is so insufferable and unlikeable. Lucky in the 100. Got humbled today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Didn't look like Lyles had Covid when he jumped on and down and yelled at everybody just minutes before the final, but oh well

400 hurdles will be golden later

India vs Pakistan rivalry in the javelin, great stuff

India vs Pakistan rivalry in the javelin, great stuff

They held an India vs Pakistan game in the cricket world cup in 2019 in Manchester.

Over 100,000 turned up to the city, ground only holds 15,000. 4000 miles away from South Asia. Never seen anything like it in my life.

Okay, I know they've been out there for days, but I just love the little cars!
Seen robots like that used for throwing competitions in athletics before, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen ones that look like actual cars. I'm assuming Citroens.

[Salvarani]

[Samu Cuenca]

Too many mistakes by Bol under pressure, but she would obviously never have been able to win.
