I'm watching the men's tennis gold medal match, it's nailbiting.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

The hoops in the men’s gymnastics is also very good.

Last day of artistic gymnastics and I am very sad about it. I will miss these three commentators together.

That Alcaraz is marvellous. :love2: He plays beautifully.

Apparently Andy Murray has gone to watch the gymnastics. :))

Apparently so.

I think we’ve got another day tomorrow? Women’s floor and beam are still to come definitely.

I also love the commentators - they have been excellent!

I know this is a “my diamond shoes are too tight” issue but it’s hard to watch the Olympics in Canada. :verm: I love all the gymnastics and stuff. The Tv is this house doesn’t seem to have a channel available for the sports. Our hotel TV did so we caught a bit of the Canadian athletes. :))

Djokovic probably deserved to get his gold after all his years at the top or thereabouts. It's unlikely he'll still be playing in the next Olympics (although maybe!).

I am sorely tempted to get a train down next Saturday after that BBC report saying places had slashed their prices to get people over there
I booked tickets for an athletics session and added a swimming finals session today. I am SO EXCITED.

Wasn’t it! I’ve also loved the shots of Paris during both the men’s and women’s!

It was so weird seeing roads we’d walked down a few days ago. :))
