Off Topic The 2024 Olympic Games

That was awesome - well done lads!

 

Peaty gets silver. Heck of a race though, and at least the Chinese drugs cheat missed out.

 

I loved how gracious he was talking to Sharron Davies, as he said he won just by being there.

 

He lost by two hundredths of a second (0.02 s). He needs longer fingernails

 

I haven't watched a single second of the Olympics this year. I can't remember ever being this disinterested. Do we have much chance of any medals?

 

Umm. Yes. We’ve already got a few.

 

Golds?

 

Not yet as Peaty just missed out. Daley about to get silver unless they screw this final dive.

 

The Eventing team still in with a chance of gold, despite an unfair penalty on Ros Canter in the cross-country.

 

Silver minimum for Daley and Williams. We need the Chinese pair to screw their final dive.

 

The Chinese don’t do screwing up. Silver for GB.

 

Didn’t realise this was even on. When does the athletics start? Basically the only good thing to watch

 

Was the third set just a tie break, first to 10 points wins the set?
I was totally confused by that tie break, when it didn’t end when the Japanese were 7-4 ahead.

 

You’re missing out thinking that.

 

I’m no expert but watching the swimming, wouldn’t the first 3 swim faster if they weren’t towing a flag behind them?

 

Yes, the deciding set is just a first-to-10, 2 ahead, tie break. It’s like the decider in the slams, but without having to play 14 games first!

 

Any sports you’d suggest?

 

Horizontal jogging.

 

I can happily watch all of them, bar the fencing which is a struggle.

 

I’ll happily sit and watch anything except the boxing.
