Paris 2024 - Day 9 (Sun 4 Aug)

[Madison]

Oh phew. I thought I’d missed the vault.

 

[PercyPig]

Guaranteed a medal in the skeet

 

[Madison]

Guaranteed GB medal on the shooting - well worth a watch - they’re down to the last three shooters and it’s very close

 

[Madison]

The shooting is back to a tie

Two left. Guaranteed silver at least

 

[Madison]

SHOOT OFF

 

[PercyPig]

A SHOOT OFF

How thrilling!

 

[Madison]

God this is stressful.

 

[Lucille]

 

[jyxz]

I’m being annoyed by his pronunciation of Chillay

 

[Madison]

 

[Lucille]

I’m being annoyed by his pronunciation of Chillay

It’s pronounced like this.

 

[Madison]

Oh dear

 

[Madison]

What a horrible ending.

 

[Madison]

Cheapskate organisers.

 

[PercyPig]

Looked like she hit it to me

(Expert after watching it for 5 minutes)

 

[Finn]

I hate how much I got into the shooting then, like a fucking incel.

Also: SHE HIT IT? Why on earth would they not use the replay if it would stop something like that from happening? Shoot the ref, Amber love

 

[Madison]

Utter cheapskates. Why wouldn’t you have a video review if you do it in other competitions?

 

[Madison]

Anyway, time for the vault.

 

[Madison]

I hate how desperate gymnasts are to prove they are straight. In Hepworth’s official profile, the only personal detail is: “Hero is UFC fighter Joe Jones.”

 

[Madison]

14.9 would have won in Tokyo.

 

[Slave]

Is the Team GB gymnast coach in the Olympics Hot Men thread? He really should be.

 

[Madison]

Damn it.

 

[PercyPig]

These BBC commentators always get me so excited

“GB are looking at a medal!”

*finishes seventh*

 

[PercyPig]

I always feel quite cruel with these sports because you’re just now waiting for everyone else to fuck up

AND IM HERE FOR IT!

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm Eurosporting for men's vault. Sadly fell asleep during women's cycling and only caught a Slovakian being about 40 seconds in front of the pack before I drifted off myself.

 

[Madison]

Come on Davtyan!

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh I didn't see Djokovic winning.

 

[Madison]

Fucking Novax. I hope you choke on your medal.

 

[Dark Carnival]

 

[Madison]

Go Artur!!

 

[Finn]

Sad for little Jake Jarman being knocked off the podium there, but WELL DONE to the Paul Mescal / Colin-from-It's-A-Sin hybrid for getting Team GB its first ever vault medal

 

[straightorbroken]

An hour until athletics? I just can't with golf.

 

[Jark]

Oh I didn't see Djokovic winning.

I caught the last half of set two and it looked like one of his best performances... ever. some incredible rallies played, most of which he got the better off.

Alcaraz somehow is significantly more dislikable than Novak so I was pleased!

 

[Indie]

We're doing ok at the women's road race. A breakaway was formed because of a mid-pelaton crash and we have 3 riders in the breakaway of 10ish.

 

[Eddie]

Alcaraz somehow is significantly more dislikable than Novak

Thankfully you're in the minority with this option.

 

[Indie]

Ah, they've all fallen away. No medals for us.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Silver for Tommy Fleetwood in the golf.

 

[ButterTart]

Hope we can recover from our devastating gold allergy.

 

[PercyPig]

Is the swimming FINALLY OVER after today?

 

[rhythmbandit]

Is the swimming FINALLY OVER after today?

Long distance swimming starts soon.
