Paris Olympics 2024 (non-cycling) thread

She's not the final or any final. She's a person.

@RedheadDane I did well here, right?

Since when did I become the judge of bad jokes?

 

[Sciatic]

Hassan hanging at the back like Carlos Sastre before the climbing gets serious

 

[Tricycle Rider]

One runner dropped out of the 10000m, guess she didn't have it today and saw no point in continuing. (Maybe she's injured?)

17 laps to go.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Check Fortun's triple jumps. Robot.

Incredibly consistent

Hassan will apparently run the marathon on Sunday, seems like a lot.

Wow, thats pretty brutal.

You've hereby been certified to judge shot put and sh*t puns.

The Olympics are almost over and I've only just now discovered Peacock's multiview, I need to watch the triple jump as well as the 10000m!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

8 laps to go, we're getting there.

 

[Sciatic]

Must be a new experience for Valby having runners in front of her at this point in the race. She is hanging in though.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

There will be a brutal sprint coming up.

 

[Sciatic]

Ethiopia slowed the pace—not sure why

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Was that a 10000m runner getting some medical attention on the track just now?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

3 laps to go, things should get pretty exciting soon

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Final lap -woooooo!

 

[Netserk]

Almost a shocker!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Italy - silver.

 

[Salvarani]

Hassan so badly positioned. Bad tactics. She was strong but burned too much trying to move up and too many in the way.

 

[Salvarani]

Ethiopa should have ran much faster as well. They have no sprint. Make the race hard.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Fantastic finish by Chebet, her running form is lovely to watch.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Americans certainly want that in LA 2028.

And they wouldn't even be using space in the Olympic Village as the gravel bros would be setting their own sustainable camp in the Mojave Desert

Composting toilets are a must!

 

[Salvarani]

Crazy that all three of these guys, in the triple jump, are from Cuba and competing for other countries

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Make space for the engagement ring!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Eth: Disastrous results overall this olympic.
