Paris Olympics 2024

Serbia rowed a faster time in the B final than the silver and bronze medalists in the A final

That was amazing television. James Nolan was as stubborn as Jerry. Iā€™d say the 2 would have actually worked well together

Theyā€™ll be seething at that

James was a proper BIFFO.

He was a good lad actually. He still is. Heā€™s not dead.

Is the golf 4 rounds with no cut?

Thatā€™s mighty from the two of them.

Iā€™d say Bill was purring in studio. He loved a bit of scandal.

Tom Fannon posted the 6th fastest time in the 50m freestyle and is into the semi finals. Shane Ryan didnā€™t start.

Expected off BBC but not Eurosport

Didnā€™t Bill follow up by saying something like ā€œthe lad who won the 10,000m ran his last 1,500 quicker than Nolan so reality bitesā€ or words to that effect?

This was savage from an Irish paper.

Nolan, who is his own trainer, has followed the vast majority of Irish athletes in these Games by failing to come anywhere near the medal reckoning.

Itā€™s British Eurosport is it not?
We really really canā€™t talk about vomitfest anything. We are the apex predator of the vomitfest.

Who wrote the piece? A mighty cut at a lad from some desk jockey like @TreatyStones who reckons everyone going should be making a final.

Thereā€™s something iconic about blonde Dutch women in that orange singlet at an Olympics

Savage race in the womenā€™s four there. The Brits had overhauled the Dutch at one point but the Dutch dug in for their lives to win by inches.

I take it you didnā€™t watch the hurling on the BBC

Were we not talking about RTƉs coverage here?

Yep, I think thatā€™s it. Not sure if thereā€™s a team element to it as well or if its purely individual

Opposite of yesterday in the quad sculls.
The Dutch are as a rule of thumb hopped up to the eyeballs.

Eh?
