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.

Well done, Ellie Aldridge! The kite surfing looks so cool - and blimey, those things move fast!

Good race from Ethan Hater in the Omnium sprint, puts him back into medal contention. Confusing race though as it wasn't clear for the riders who was being eliminated on the rounds. Think there will be a few angry riders after that.

Incredible cycling

Brutal!

And massive congratulations to Ellie Aldridge

To add the pp I really like Laura and Chris as commentators

Laura is so happy and I think she deserves it given she's an Olympic champion

the kite was fantastic

Imagine being blessed with an Olympic level talent plus a side order of striking beauty. It's not fair 😂

Talking about unfair, Gabby Thomas is a Harvard graduate, a gold + silver medallist, and strikingly gorgeous too. 😧

True! I realised I was watching the athletics but the main show was showing the cycling so my comment may have seemed a bit random, but I was talking about Revee Walcott Nolan who was in the 150 semi final.

1500

And I'm replying to my own comment by accident. I give up 😂

Am watching the Men's 200m final. I can't even run 100m in 19 seconds.

Wow, she's very beautiful indeed!

i did wonder
i was about to search Ellie Aldridge!

Yes, Gabby Thomas graduated in Neurobiology and Public health from Harvard, then a masters in epidemiology from Texas. She's super smart and super fast.

Yes Tebogo you legend! Gold for Botswana. Fantastic!

I had no idea! That's amazing, well done her. Kenny is definitely a lucky guy.

Gold for Botswana! Love it. Great run from Tebogo.

Tebogo fantastic

Re pp I find many quite awe strikingly beautiful

I like this bell ringing thing.

Omg I missed the 200 m as went to cook dinner, will have to watch on catchup, but so glad that Tebogo won over preening arrogant Lyles. I love when smaller poorer nations win.

A first medal for Botswana!

So glad for Tebogo! TBH I’m just so glad it wasn’t lyles! I think I’ve been spoilt by Usain over the years so just didn’t want lyles to win!

Good gold this afternoon, cycling a bit of an anti climax today.

Been a bit quiet the last couple of days as I’ve spent a lot of time decluttering and sorting out some decorating but I’ll be here tomorrow! Quiet again Saturday as I’m going to the charity shield!

Well done Tebogo. Fantastic performance.

Lyles was giving it the Billy big bollocks before the race then came third. What a prat he now looks.

Are the relays yet to come, please?

Yes, qualification this morning for finals tomorrow I believe

Might have a surprise gold in javelin too the throw from Nadeem of Pakistan was huge!
