Paris Olympics 2024

Eric Donovan is a very good pundit and a sound man in person but his commentary is a bit shit.

Hungary beat Italy on penalties in the men’s water polo quarter final. It’ll be a spicy final if the US are not in it. Semi final line up is;

Serbia v US
Croatia v Hungary

Uh oh

She looked like she ran the last 50 with something wrong. I thought she’d pulled a muscle. Hopefully just a sick stomach.

McLaughlin v Bol will be box office

Itinerary for this morning pls gentlemen? Im “wfh” today

My take on it was she got rattled when the Bahrainian was ahead at 200m to 300m. Adelike’s whole game plan is to get ahead and hold on.
She tied up badly in the last 50m.
I can’t see her get a medal. 5th or 6th more likely.
It was a sickener to see her beaten and put off her running by a drug cheat. 4 years should be the minimum sentence.

BBC showing the women’s basketball quarter final between the US and Nigeria.

The US strike me as an unmerciful shower of cunts, leading by double digits and the game over as a contest and they getting chippy with the Nigerian one for scoring a basket with a few seconds left.

Kelsey Plummaside they are not a likeable group, glad the great Caitlin isn’t involved with them.

Saw bits and bobs of this. Must be some strength in those lads in the pool for the water polo, to be able to pop up and launch the ball with force. I’m fucked treading water.

Jade O’Dowda, sister of Callum, just finished third in her 100m Hurdles heat. Running for the Brits.

Couldn’t agree more re that drug thing. Personally I think there should be a life ban from the Olympics. She just looked hobbled.

Dunno. Kaczmarek wasn’t happy last night. Bronze maybe up for grabs.

Kaczmarek was puking up all over the mixed zone according to Cathal Dennehy

That was a fast 100m hurdle repechage.
