Little Nemo 31 Jul 8:42pm, 31 Jul 2024 15,122 posts	0 Little Nemo It was funny how obsessed they were with Ledecky's leg kick. It's not that unusual to not do a 6-beat kick in long distances. Plus she's the world record holder, I'm sure she knows what she's doing!

rf_fozzy 31 Jul 9:05pm, 31 Jul 2024 22,814 posts	0 rf_fozzy Matt Chilton is still worse. But the guys who do the "x-sports" commentary are pretty grating too.
rf_fozzy 31 Jul 9:08pm, 31 Jul 2024 22,815 posts	0 rf_fozzy Also a bit grating is the fact that they made the diving all about one of the pair, just because she has a famous dad.

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).
