Paris Olympics 2024

She’s confirmed that she’s running in the relay final tomorrow anyway.

[YellowBib]

Bizarre but what else would you expect from the crowd on here

We were complaining about Gillick being a glorified social media manager but I think he had no alternative but to approach the Rhashidat interview like that. It was actually lovely, seeing him pick her up like that. At the start she might have burst out crying.

The immediate aftermath calls for a sensitive interview for competitors who are disappointed.

In later press conferences enough time has probably elapsed to ask some slightly more probing questions.

Rhasidat has to do the interviews. Gillick was lovely there

The cork boys are starting to circle here.

Kaczmarak’s diet is rather interesting I’d say. I was optimisric because I was thinking of her 10 minutes puking up 2 nights ago. I wonder was she just pumping herself full of creatine for tonight. I’d say she’s a savage diet anyway.

[Bandage]

I like Robbie these days since listening to his podder with Gillick & Derv. Does draw lots of parallels to his own career & anecdotes about his experiences, which can sometimes be too much & disrupt the flow, but I think his enthusiasm is infectious & he’s a decent chap overall.

Are you @backinatracksuit in disguise?

[myboyblue]

Always a lovely camaraderie between the multi sport competitors in the decathlon and heptathlon.

[carryharry]

You’d think the cunts would show last Rd of shot putt throws ffs

[Appendage]

I find him hard to listen to. All about me me me. As in him him him. Not actually me.

I love Derval and Sonia however.

It’s been a great Olympics.

Olympics and the Fleadh is some combination.

[Cheasty]

That women’s shot put final certainly did not disappoint. One of the great finals.

[Arthur]

I agree in general he’s fairly annoying but uou gave me no specifics there at all. I didn’t see one thing wrong with what he said just before you posted and he never mentioned his wife and kids at all.

[Kyle]

No mate, her times and finishing show she’s not elite yet. She’s not far off it but calm the fuck down…

[backinatracksuit]

I actually know Rob quite well, he lives next door to a very close relative of mine and I’ve met him many times in the last few years .
He’s a pain in the arse in many ways, but I don’t mind him as a pundit,

He’s very well got in Mahon, devotes an awful lot of his time to coaching kids in one of the most disadvantaged areas of Cork, can’t be all bad

[Arthur]

He’s a flowery shirt type of fella but as you get older you realise there’s room for all of us in life’s rich tapestry

[ChairmanDan]

Rob has walked the walk and has an Olympic medal to show for it. Paddy is very uncomfortable with a success story.

[ChairmanDan]

Croatia beat Hungary 9-8 in the second of the men’s water polo semi finals.

Croatia v Serbia final.

[balbec]

Take your beating pal

[Cheasty]

Salif Mané will need to improve if he wants to win a medal for France in the hop, skip and jump. He’s the second cousin of former Liverpool legend Sadio Mané.

Sifan Hassan has such a genuine smile. I’d love to see little Lizzie McColgan go well here.
