Paris Olympics 2024

Rowing medals left right & centre for Team GB

GB had 10 boats at the Olympics and 8 of them got medals. 3 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze. Finish 2nd to the Dutch who got 4 gold and 3 silver.

Quick quick dream up an angle, a gold in the 8's is worth more than a gold in the singles, cos in terms of efficiency it's 8 medals doled out vs 1, so there's more metal won for buck paid out. Or something...

That’s a good point. How many golds did we actually win? 14?

 

[Gilbert..]

In years to come when looking back at the paris olympic photos people will ask what are those boxes everyones holding. Must be very important to give out on the podium.

Yeah. Posters.

Give them out after.

Why isn’t the coverage live? Azu has been DQd for nearly 10 mins before bbc have shown it

I think bbc are being fed coverage, so some of it is delayed to be able to put comms to it. Where theres a live final with live comms the beeb gets the opportunity to do it the classical way. This is the licence some big firm paid for up to 2032. And it utterly sucks.

BBC coverage is awful. Delayed and can’t pause/rewind, and they keep swapping between BBC1/2/iplayer. Something to do with broadcast licence. Now watching on Eurosport

Great swim from Daniel Wiffen in the 1500m heats. On course for a 2nd gold hopefully.

It’s about £3 to get it for the month. Well worth it.

Watch whatever you want instead of Claire Balding pretending to know which sport it’s being switched to.

Edit just realised it’s the one with the bendy stick. Please ignore.
