Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Having the surfing in Marseille would be like having alpine skiing in Cambridgeshire

The waves in Tahiti have been amazing

Got an email last week to say I've won a competition to go watch this Sunday (4th August). It's not a con/scam/spam email, I've got the flights confirmed, 2 nights 4* accommodation including breakfast, and, just confirmed last night, 2 tickets to the athletics on Sunday evening. The schedule looks amazing, finishing with the men's 100 meters final.

"it's been revealed that on the day city mayor Anne Hidalgo took her famous dip (17 July) pollution levels were too high for bathing. Her explanation for the swim is that authorisation decisions are based on previous days' results, which were positive"

Surely there are surfing beaches on the French Atlantic coast?

Maybe someone suggested Tahiti, and no-one complained. I wouldn't :-)

With comments now of sailors wearing ice vests and matches being played in quarters to allow breaks due to heat …. Will summer Olympic Games have to be in typically cooler months going forward?
It’s not the first games where the heat has been an issue

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).
