Paris Olympics 2024

[Gilbert..]

That is an absolute nightmare for Beth Shriever

All over by first bend.
Terrible start

 

[ToffeeTim]

Got completely crowded out in the middle. Very disappointing

 

[Billy Dean]

Not seen a replay yet but seemed a bit naughty that

Never seen this sport before so no idea if legal or not. They did something similar in the semis

 

[Lee Smith]

That’s racist?

Edit: Just googled it, apparently it is racist. Wild that calling a man from China a ‘China man’ is considered racist. Obviously some context I’m not aware of. An easy mistake to make though, it’s not like saying the N word. You’d call a man from France ‘French man’ for example. Easy to be accidentally racist in this case.

SAKAKIBARA!

The luck aspect in BMX seems crazy, you need the perfect start otherwise you’re totally out of it, no time to recover.

A French 1-2-3 in the men’s BMX and an a Aussie win in the women’s BMX.

Deeply sickening.

Most of the events in this modern Olympics are heavily reliant on a bit of luck. Hundredths of seconds between gold and silver time and time again.

davek is gonna be goin hammer and tongues with the british bmx crews and funding, there's only the british lad that's been hospitalised and hot favourite Shriever wrapped up dead last having won everything except the final round.

[Billy Dean]

Maybe he should have said Chinese man, you wouldn't say a France man.

Don't worry I think the aussies tend to get the second week off for good behaviour.

Just to say, if I were an Olympic BMX competitor, I’d defo be listening to Linkin’ Park on my MP3 player before my event.

I wonder what the win % is for first bend leader. Bar a fall it looks almost impossible to pass.
