Olympic Games Paris 2024

[LlynTegid]

Starting a thread as it is only weeks away.

The Welsh cyclist who I saw win a medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the raising of the Welsh flag will be there- Emma Finucaine, one of the fastest women in the world on a cycle.

The high jumpers are very glamourous.

i dont know how the high jumpers do it!

Love how even in Olympics it is safety pins holding on the numbers 😂

And LOVING the stadium lights for the 100m

Amazing

really hoping it's not that showboating preening Lyles but probably will be. I want Oblique!

UGH!! I detest that pumping your chest and roaring into the camera like a lion business! Proper grinds my gears!

only know 3 of the 100m runners! Time was I knew all of em!

Like a Coldplay show!

Couldn’t love the Olympics more

Why are we waiting!!??

Agree, but would be nice for Hinchcliffe to have beaten the Olympic Champion.

I wouldn't have the nerves to run this

Dammit. So close. Poor Thompson. And what wanted to the gloriously named Oblique?

happened not wanted

Incredible well done

@AndNobbyDancing I was nervous for some reason!

A few observations though! Far too much pomp at the start! No wonder Jacobs is limping! I said it would result in an injury!

But wow! Closest 100m I’ve ever seen!

Wow that was close

such a heartbreaking race, Kishane losing by 5/1000th of a second. There is just no room for error in this race.

I love the pomp, this is the most prestigious race, track stars don't get as much coverage, just love it.

So close.

@AndNobbyDancing i don’t dislike the pomp, but it went on for ages!

Feel for the south African fourth again. Must be hard.

I give you that @Supergirl1958 the athletes did seem to want to hurry it up .

Impressive to get a PB to get the gold.

Same I love all the emotion for everything

Wolf amongst wolfs (sic)😂 although actually I think he came across quite well.

Love seeing inside the Team USA house in Paris

Ugh so sick of this "main character energy" description of Noah.

Enjoyed the 100m final.
