Agh. So close.

Pressure on this 400m lad is immense. All the chariots of fire stuff. Yikes.

Yes mad race. If ingerbrigsten held the inside lane and hadn't pushed Kerr wider there would have been no room. Hocker letting the other 2 only think about each other and sneak in was good tactics.

Billy big bollocks Kerr only gets silver.

Dutch are Fast.

Germans at it as well.

I guess so. No visor doesn't seem (from my armchair) that it would be faster.
Didn't help them though.

Why not matching helmets for the GB? Surely one is faster than the other...

Yeah - beginning to pull ahead in the polls for overall vote share, but likely to still struggle to get the swing states to convert.

@andyp will be along in a sec to tell you not to be such an old grouch!

Bouldering looks good fun. If I wasn't old, fat and inflexible would have a go at that.

Speed climbing, while unfathomably fast, I didn't realise it's the same wall all the time everywhere. Feel that makes it a bit more dull for other than watching for 15mins every 4 years. Kind of expected that each competition would have a new wall.

Chips clipped to the jersey/vest beforehand.

Or what Andy said.

Safety pins and massive flappy A4 race number is just crazy in this day and age. Any reason they can't be issued pre-games and sublimated onto the kit at a prescribed font/size/shape?

Re pole vault. Did we have the French fella who knocked the bar off with his cock already?

Given the prison space and all that, I suggest the fascist rioters get a stay on the bibby stockholm. I'm sure they approve of its use.

I'm afraid you'll find what you can do a bit limited. Whole swathes of the city are closed off and access only allowed with a QR code if you are a local/have tickets around the major locations being used. I'm sure there will still be some pleasant sauntering around to do, but imagine the prices are going to be a bit spicy.

Cheers daily mail, son's crying.

It is...but I feel it does slightly exemplify the x-gaming of the Olympics. It's really fun, but does it really show the best paddlers? Don't think so.
*potters off to the middle aged thread.

The coverage is as chaotic as the race.

Scenes.

Do they still get time gaps from the motos?

This must be the slowest peloton I've ever seen.

Who knew the Venn diagram of urban fixie skidders and field owners had such overlap.

Was watching him in the mixed doubles whatever and he has such a cool vibe.
