Off topic, but i didn't enjoy much Rachel Stringer on the Australian Open coverage, but she has been quite good whenever she pops in Paris. Has started to win me over.  One of the better decisions Eurosport has done recently.

Rai Benjamin says he barely slept, because he was too hyped from the watch party they had for Lyles and after that he was too hyped for Lyles' gold to be able to relax

I assume they'll gladly cheer for N'Gapeth as well. Oh well, everything for the flag.

I mean, it´s fine to support home athletes, no problem with that and it is great to see all the stands always full everywhere. I just don´tget that over-shovinistic atmosphere. Booing and celebrating  every french opponent miss or fall is so sad to see. Our skateboarder was booed and whistled only because he advanced to the final in expense of a french... ffs. come on this is the olympics not fucking football
