I’m thinking they have not scaled for demand. Over-complicated and trying to do too much at once.

Martin Fourcade doling out the medals!

Both through.

Ah OK, guessing from the North then because there is that sort of Bering Straits connection.

Is Huske Native American? Just from her bone structure.

Nooooo….Canadian medal for Max Litchfield.

Yeah, but in those days people were chosen on the basis of their moustaches.

Once again, the famous shout of “Allez les pneus….”

Because rugby, like football, is run on a Four* Nations’ basis & London 2012 aside, no-one wants to sacrifice their best youth development prospects for a once-in-a-blue-moon competition. * OK, three for rugby, four for football.

At least our Royal Family are good at Eventing!

Phew, result confirmed

Ok, this one is going to the lawyers.

Woohooo into Silver! 2 to go…..

What is never mentioned is that the most important Gold Medal in Olympic history was won in the six member team event. And for all we know - the results are not online - he might have only fought once, lost & still won Gold.

The va’a is Paralympics, I know that. Jessica Fox surely the target now.

Hey don’t mock, I watch year round & never remember which is a canoe or kayak. Chourrault the unwanted distinction of a rare 5-0 in an Olympic final.

Fiat justicia ruat caelum!

All these stupid should-not-even-be-in-the Olympics tennis matches are making the schedule & TV pages unusable. The BBC Schedule website improves over the official in that it does not show any results*, just the detailed times of every single event, so is probably better for your needs @Jur @heywoodu https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/paris-2024/schedule/2024-07-28 *just the unavoidable redraws for things like archery.

As I’ve said on cycling threads, she has got stuck riding as a domestique for the big & riders, so is not developing. And then people wonder why so many women cyclists retire at age 25.

As I always say, back in Beijing 2008 there was pretty much a fair, easy to understand & transparent scoring system. So the corrupt hated it & got rid of it.

Yeah Gold & bronze at Rio,

Postpone it to October just to be on the safe side.

Hey, ultra-rare medal chance for ! Just checked the wiki - they’ve actually had two previous shooting medals.

More about the water quality issue. You've probably seen elsewhere that swim training has had to be cancelled. However, according to this BBC story, the horrible, terrible, awful idea of going to a duathlon has been dropped. Options now are to either postpone one or more races, or to transfer the whole show to some pretty, impressionist painting-type village well upstream from major population centres, industrial chemical factories or slaughterhouses. Should the water quality not reach the required standard, the triathlon events could be postponed for a few days or moved to Vaires-sur-Marne, on the Marne river east of Paris.

Is there a repechage here?
