Pothunter 4 Aug 9:48am, 4 Aug 2024 9,254 posts	0 Pothunter Lizzie Bird qualifies for the 3000m Steeplechase by 6 thousandths of a second! Perfect dip on the line snuck her ahead of two others into 4th with only 5 to qualify.
Curly45 4 Aug 10:52am, 4 Aug 2024 4,756 posts	0 Curly45 Wow great result. Top tip for women coming to watch if Lille is anything to go by: you will queuing at security longer as there are less women doing pat downs. Water and food were fine to come in. Water stations inside and outside the venue.

um 4 Aug 3:19pm, 4 Aug 2024 8,748 posts	0 um Pay Discovery £3.99 ? Or wait for BBC to come back to it. I don't know of other options. get.discoveryplus.com
mrs shanksi 4 Aug 3:26pm, 4 Aug 2024 16,333 posts	0 mrs shanksi Thanks um. Very frustrating to show half a match
rf_fozzy 4 Aug 3:33pm, 4 Aug 2024 22,833 posts	0 rf_fozzy They did that with the hockey pool games, so I ended up being forced to pay for the discovery+ coverage
um 4 Aug 3:35pm, 4 Aug 2024 8,749 posts	0 um More frustrating is both BBC channels showing the same shooting

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).
