Paris Olympics 2024

Oof, that was comprehensive

Mondo making a 6m pole vault look ridiculously easy. Total superstar.

Armand Duplantis holds off his gold medal celebrations until he's set a new Olympic record.

It was inevitable.

The Swede, who is now a two-time Olympic champion, flies well clear of 6.10m - that's 7cm further than Brazilian Thiago Braz's previous record at Rio 2016.

And, he's not stopping there, Duplantis is going bigger!

Didn't take long for the crown image to appear online

Duplantis just set a new WR

Duplantis!

I love that the other 2 had finished so long ago they'd put their flags away, and forgotten the top3+flags photo

Who'd have thought Egypt would be leading France in the football

France equalise in the 90th min

Question for the board.
What are everyone's thoughts about GB telling Ireland where to go, and claiming the North solely for ourselves? - just for a few days, to add their medal count to ours?
I know it would be a shit-show of epic proportions, but it WOULD put us ahead of the Criminals (and the Froggies), and put us on the podium as a nation.

We can (presumably) let them have it back once the velodrome's finished.

Real pity Mageean has to withdraw. At least she finally managed to get the win at Europeans.

Are the Brits at it again?

 

[BrokenWing]

The again would imply that at some point we weren't, as you say, "at it"

GreAT BrITain.

Clues in the name son, clues in the name.

Is it me or are the BBC seemingly banning men from presenting anything in the studio at all?

Bouldering is so fun. Definitely a successful addition

The leader Garnbret made it looked so easy

 

[AlRums]

Its you.

I've only seen Roslin, Irvine and Balding presenting in the studio, the only men have been a few pundits and even then the pundits seem to be mostly women
