IdristheDragon 8 Aug 4:52pm, 8 Aug 2024 8,641 posts	0 IdristheDragon Men's omnium happening in the cycling - I really do not understand this one at all.
MudMeanderer 8 Aug 5:04pm, 8 Aug 2024 2,625 posts	0 MudMeanderer If you're meaning the Tempo, you're not alone. On paper it's simple (first rider across each line each lap gets a point, if you take a lap get 20 points and ranked at end), but it leads to some weird racing.
Meglet 8 Aug 5:07pm, 8 Aug 2024 24,926 posts	0 Meglet Quite annoying with the Turkish Eurosport that the stadium sounds are almost completely turned off. So you can’t hear crowds cheering or lap bells being rung. Not sure if that’s the same for all Eurosport/Discovery?
SPR 8 Aug 5:10pm, 8 Aug 2024 45,575 posts	0 SPR Discovery+ has an option to just have just the atmosphere and no commentary on streams.
IdristheDragon 8 Aug 5:51pm, 8 Aug 2024 8,642 posts	0 IdristheDragon Elimination feels like musical chairs (with no music and no chairs)
Surrey Phil 8 Aug 5:53pm, 8 Aug 2024 10,609 posts	0 Surrey Phil Elimination race looked good but messy and a bit inconsistent with the adjudication. Could do something similar with the athletics 10,000m especially with the slower runners getting in the way when being lapped.

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
