Great Games for :GBR 

 

49 Gold 44 Silver 31 Bronze

 

Second overall.  

 

Very small number of disappointments, maybe one Games too many for a handful, but otherwise a great two weeks for us.

On Channel four a bit ago Ellie Simmonds was delighted by the swimming performance but Tanni Grey Thompson was not impressed by the Athletics performance - raising concerns about the lack of debutants and future prospects. She sounded pretty down beat.

Literal goosebumps from this anthem performance.

Meanwhile, Spanish bronze medalist in the women's T12 marathon was disqualified. Her guide got cramps a few meters before the start, she helped him up and with that let go of the tether/piece of rope that they had to hold together, leading to the DQ.

There will be a little more downtime for multi-sports games fanatics like myself. The ISF has something next month, but the schedule is pretty empty until December (2024) and January (2025).

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
