Bienvenue mes amis!
Will be glued to the screen for the next few weeks, watching anything and everything. The Olympics are my favourite sporting event ever since I got hooked on the 1972 games.
Arrived in Paris yesterday. Amazing to see so many French people smiling, being polite, and offering service without the Gallic shrug of indifference!
I know Derby is up next week, anyone else visiting? If so, lets reserve tables at the Georges V and push on from there.
Allez les Brits!!
Edit: weather not looking good for the OC tonight. [Post edited 26 Jul 2024 8:20]

Shame about Josh Tarling, he really fancied his chances as well. What a year Remco is having though. World Champ, podium at the Tour and now Olympic champion. |  | | |

Saw the Eccles fight and considering the other girl was docked a point it looked an awful call. | | | |

Why can’t Great Britain come together and put a team together for football? |  |

England as a standalone nation would have qualified but it’s a disagreement between the nations and apparently a fear it would threaten their independence in Fifa/Uefa comps. | | | |

yep as a kid i used to fantasize, in a non sexual manner, about a UK football team in the olympics with a team of among others, Frank stapleton, Liam Brady, David o'Leary, Kenny Dalglish, Pat Jennings, Kevin Ratcliffe, Ian Rush , Bryan Robson, John barnes and Glenn hoddle .
I reckon we might have won the odd bit of gold here and there. [Post edited 28 Jul 2024 14:51]

PFP absolutely smashed the XC mountain bike. I was hopeful of a medal for Evie but 5th was a decent result. Those women look tiny but christ they are so bloody strong. | | | |

We tried on the womens side with England the designated nation to qualify as GB but we missed out to the Dutch in the Nations League. | | | |

Absolutely.. I'll imbibe some free base spice melange and fold space and time to jump back to 1979 east ham and have a word with my 11 year old self to explain irish free state complexities.
Then i'll jump back to leigh on sea 2024 sharpish as i don't want to witness my younger self knocking one out over frank stapletons cossack hairspray center parting in shoot magazine and me old mans 70's illegal Scandinavian porn stash.
Enjoy watching hairy bulgarians greco roman wrestling this afternoon. [Post edited 28 Jul 2024 17:51]

I remember seeing a GB Olympic team playing qualifying games at Dulwich Hamlet in the 70's - composed of amateurs from clubs like Barnet and Leytonstone.
The fear now being if the GB plays one team for the olympics then FIFA will demand no more England,Scotland,Wales an N.I. |  |

She is a member of the IOC, and a previous competitor, and as a Brit had a chance of a medal it was probably a good event for her to attend.
I agree it was a nice redemption tale and he so nearly achieved a phenomenal feat of three gold medals in a row in swimming, which very few have managed. |  | | |
