@IdristheDragon There was also a suspected concussion for the Spanish riders in the men's madison earlier. Cycling is crazy for unexpected crashes. When I was younger used to race on the road and track, if you're good: I'll show you my scars ;-)

Super happy for Kitaguchi winning the W javelin, she's super! But a bit disappointed the coolest glasses in athletics (those of the man-mountain Kristjan ฤŒeh) didn't get a medal in the M discus, only 4th.

[OK I admit: this is old news, I only just caught up with that result.]

Going back to the coach-to olympics phantasists

Given they had to drop the bar to get a winner in the high jump I bet the American is regretting nit sharing the gold when offered

Nice for NZ to get the gold, US have so many they won't miss this one ;-)

I was thinking that exact thing, Pixie. He'll be kicking himself.

Good relay - was rooting for Botswana to win it though. Bit board with Americans winning everything. ๐Ÿ˜†

Interesting to see the Men's 4x400 relay team celebrate their bronze by wearing red berets. Can they get disqualified for cultural appropriation?

About This Thread

Maintained by Curly45
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).
