I watched the end of the triathlon open mouthed. I can’t believe he pulled that out of the bag. Same with the rowing, that was a brilliant finish.

I bloody love the triathlon. I'm at work. :mad: I will watch on catch up later.

It will be worth every minute of your time, Teabs.

What's on this arvo?

I’m watching the BMX and then will watch the men’s gymnastics. There is some canoeing later too.

Ooh gymnastics, yes please! Loved the BMX too.

Loved the BMX just then - although the commentators had me in stitches - they sounded like they'd wandered in from some YouTube gaming video!

We are now at La Terasse des Jeux and watching le ping pong on le grand screen. :))

I finished work early and am in the cycle part of the women's triathlon. People keep falling off.

Yes, it was slippy this morning.

Is anyone watching the individual men’s all round gymnastics? That poor Canadian chap on the high bar who came off quite spectacularly.

OMG just saw the poor lad from Canada come flying off the bar as his handguard broke mid swing!

Also is Jonny Vegas commentating the gymnastics?!

Turtle Bean · Post by **Turtle Bean** » Wed Jul 31, 2024 5:32 pm

Epp, I was just coming here to say similar. :lol: The commentators are nuts.

And yes poor Canadian boy.

:lol: I know it’s not really him but it’s amusing me no end imagining that it is :lol:

He doesn’t sound like Jonny Vegas to me. But I do love Matt Baker, his commentary is my secret crush. And he says “apparatus” properky.

Mr Canada is going again. I am rooting for him.

Me too, my heart is in my mouth!

Poor Felix, I think that will be him out - his hand looked sore before the second attempt.

Hazey_Jane · Post by **Hazey_Jane** » Wed Jul 31, 2024 5:45 pm

He was doing better that time but oh!
