OLYMPICS 2021

Haven't found a thread for Olympic sports discussions so I'm starting one. This thread is only for discussions of the actual sporting events as they happen over the next few weeks, not the unfairness of IOC's rules/philosophy (e.g. allowing a male athlete to declare himself a woman and compete in the women's category...which is immoral, unscientific, and wholly unjust, but that topic already has multiple separate threads).

Although this will be an Olympics like no other, I'm excited for the opening ceremony tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing gymnastics and swimming especially!

That was a brilliant race by Laura Muir

Pleased for faith kipyegon coming back after having a baby as well to defend her gold medal

Buggerthebotox · 06/08/2021 14:00

Brilliant for Kipyeyon and Muir.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 06/08/2021 14:02

I love how some of them take their shoes off and just run barefoot for the fun of it on the victory lap. Smile

AlecTrevelyan006 · 06/08/2021 14:03

superb race - so please for Muir

and pleased that Hasan didn't win gold...

Fantastic run for Laura muir. What a day for team GB!

JacquelineCarlyle · 06/08/2021 14:04

Well done - didn't realise Kipyegong has had a baby in between Olympics! That's phenomenal!

So so pleased for Laura - I feel so emotional!

Antsinyourpanta · 06/08/2021 14:06

I'm loving their victory lap - I thought she looked a bit lonely at the finish while Kipyegon and Hassan celebrated together.

Whinge · 06/08/2021 14:06

Another shout out to the national lottery. 😂😂

JacquelineCarlyle · 06/08/2021 14:08

Blooming heck, I'm now crying!

Iwantthesummersun · 06/08/2021 14:22

Laura Muir was fantastic and her interview afterwards was so emotional. I’m so very pleased for her.

PurpleDaisies · 06/08/2021 14:33

Oooooh-are we going to get DQed?

JacquelineCarlyle · 06/08/2021 14:36

Really hope we get the bronze!

PurpleDaisies · 06/08/2021 14:37

This is so tense!

JacquelineCarlyle · 06/08/2021 14:37

It's taking so long!

PurpleDaisies · 06/08/2021 14:38

Maybe nobody wants to protest in case they get looked at too!

PurpleDaisies · 06/08/2021 14:40

Wow that’s a track suit and a half! Lovely to see Laura muir getting that silver medal

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 06/08/2021 14:40

It just came through as a notification from the app, so fingers crossed that means it's official?

I just made a second thread here in case we run (ha!) out of space, I hope nobody minds!

JacquelineCarlyle · 06/08/2021 14:41

I haven't had the app notification yet!

Love Laura getting her medal. The Kenyan national anthem sounds great!

JacquelineCarlyle · 06/08/2021 14:44

Phew! Glad it's been confirmed!

littlbrowndog · 06/08/2021 14:45

Laura 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Relay girls 💪💪💪💪💪. Thought they had run out of space

SCMocha · 06/08/2021 14:47

I loved the relay winner saying 'and this is my first ever Olympic medal' in a tone of voice that kind of sounded like it was the sort of thing that everyone does and she was feeling a little out of it not having done it yet

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 06/08/2021 14:47

I'm enjoying the poses as they come out. Grin

PurpleDaisies · 06/08/2021 14:48

This is too nerve wracking. Chances of the baton going all the way round?

Antsinyourpanta · 06/08/2021 14:52

Wow!!!
