Who would have thought our next Gold would be in wall climbing 🙂. You can forget all your throwing spears or cannon balls.
I also have to agree with the commentators - so good to have graphics showing where you have to be to get the medals. Makes it much more interesting.
Agreed. Never having watched that format before, it was really interesting to see the positions they needed to reach, and indeed the real time scoreboard

It's a shame they don't show the full wall more often to show what the climbers are up against. Looks pretty flat when up close but the overhang on the wall is insane.
These Paris Olympics have paid pretty good attention to detail except the polluted river Seine. I was impressed after the climbing medal ceremony there was somebody on hand to give them a camera for a selfie. Maybe we can park the put down’s about plain white flags and cheese eating monkeys in some corners of British culture now we see what a great Olympics the French have given to us.

Never! Me & my Frenchies love ripping each other. And they’ve done the phone thing after every ceremony as it’s being plugged by the organisers.
Just catching up with a bit of the women’s diving atm and something I noticed (maybe one for you know you’re getting old thread) is the design and quality of the GB swimsuit, like all the GB ‘uniforms’ is head and shoulders over every other country’s efforts. Whoever is behind designing and producing those should get a gold medal.

Looking forward to the show jumping element of the Modern Pentathlon. It won't feature again after Paris, depriving us of the chance to see horse and rider in perfect harmony, just like they were in Tokyo as caught on camera below.
this is quite astonishing, didn't realise the format was a dance off. I'm hoping there's a team event with big groups facing up in a dance off followed by a rap battle

Watching it on TV and I think I’ve put my back out reaching for the remote control to turn the sound up! 😂😂😂
Raygun is twice as old as everyone else and is dancing while wearing full Aussie white ball cricket kit. she doesn't seem very good but is having the time of her life
that Australian called 'Raygun' reminded me of an amateur trying to do breakdancing whilst not really achieving much at all. looked so out of place. she just rolled around the floor.

Very well done to all of them, but phenomenal from Toby Roberts.

Might need long legs if they aren't in the same race 🤔 About 8 seconds needed, but on PB's they're about 6 apart.
