2024 Summer Olympics from Paris
Amazed we don't have a thread yet. I will do up a fancier OP tomorrow but this will do for now as a placeholder.
Women's softball opens the games in roughly 5hrs with soccer/football, archery and some other sports starting before the opening ceremony Friday night Japan time.
PREDICTIONS: Rona causes a stupid amount of issues, I still waste approx 100hrs of coverage anyway.
Yeah it seems absolutely stupid, running that marathon would guarantee any mortal an injury rather than a medal and I cannot imagine it hasn't cost her quite a few seconds on 5k and 10k (but perhaps at 31 years old it is a conscious choice to transition away from the 1500)
Has there ever been a female 5k, 10k, and marathon medalist in one Olympics?
She has nothing left to prove.
First time it happened? One of the best Olympic performances ever.
Zapotek won gold on 5, 10 and 42k in 1952. No female athlete has done what Hassan has done
TeamNL 👍
First woman and only the second person, is what I just read somewhere, after the one and only
in 52 got gold on 5,10,42
I did specify woman. I knew about Zapotek, but wasn't sure it's happened since.
Close game in the Rugby 5 game between France & USA
25 points in a half seems bad
I love the look of doom, stress, horror, panic on the USA coach's face
Proof that officials are braindead: USA player knocks a rebound towards the sideline and scrambles to save it, but ball hits OOB before she can get to it. She's literally telling you she hit it last. Nope, officials say it's off France.

Feel like usa has run good at a few calls as well as France bricking some wide open 3s.
Plum clutch as all get out
those were pressure FTs
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HAAAA
HAAHAHA
Hell of a way to lose
omghaha that's brutal. How do you not make sure you're set up for a 3 there?
lol at the Frenchie fans in the background celebrating the made 2FG in the replay
Frenchie bball <<<<<<<<<<< USA#1 bball
France was something like 0-10 from 3 in the 4th quarter before she hit that 3 with like 10 seconds left
USA#1's women's basketball is the first team sport (men or women) to win eight straight Olympic golds
