Paris Olympics 2024

[AlRums]

Stade de France full for a 7s Final that's great!

Anointed Dupont is playing

most famous Fijian golfers right now:

2. alpha bro

 

[AlRums]

Strange having France essentially in white and Fiji in blue

 

[Which Tyler]

Apparently, I want them both to win.
The precise opposite of the bronze play-off

 

[ncurd]

Dupont!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How is that a knockon if it goes backwards through his legs

Ref is being massively influenced by the crowd

the tackler not releasing is the correct call (in my world) that never gets called and it was given cause it was Dupont in Stade de France

 

[McTallshort]

Game over

 

[Bada-Bing!]

DuPont!
That's got to have sealed Gold.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Booooooooooooooo

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Man this ref is mad haha

 

[Which Tyler]

I have never seen a maul in 7s

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

That's like dunking on a team in garbage time.

Requires an easy ride from refs and classless.

makes you think

Is that the one where they dragged him onto touch after completing the tackle?
Not sure the ref had a choice, given the dragging into touch

yeah I think it's the right call law wise and it's how I'd like the game refereed. It's just that you see teams do it all the time and it drives me wild. Didn't expect to see it called there.

 

[AlRums]

Fiji not allowed quick takes on penalties, France were allowed

 

[AlRums]

IIRC Didn't the archer miss the cauldron in Barcelona and they had to ignite it manually?

Not strictly, the arrow was meant to, and did, go above the cauldron deliberately to ignite the vapour fumes. It was explained after the event on the BBC as I remember.

Helped that he'd actually called "tackle, release" before they dragged him - IIRC

Nadalcaraz through to 2nd round. Rafa a doubt for the singles. Murray/Evans doubles today.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Don't normally bother with 7s but Dupont really is touched by greatness. Not a coincidence that stuff happens when he's around.

Les Bleus will be shedloads better for having him back.
