Yes! I missed that run live so only caught up on it afterwards.

[SunnyMum]

Blimey, the cycling is nail biting.

[Rosa]

I'm really enjoying the pommel horse final, but no medal for Max Whitlock this year. Rhys McClenaghan for Ireland currently on for gold!

[Disco]

I'm rooting for Rhys.

I'm rooting for Rhys.

Me too

[Rosa]

Amazing! Love that Stephen Nedoroscik got bronze too!

[Disco]

Haha, I just realised I paused the tv for a few minutes a little while ago so was 4 minutes behind. I just forwarded through the tiny bits of chat in between to catch up.

It's a shame for Max but the winning three did look better.

[sally maclennane]

What an amazing win for Rhys!

[Epponnee Rae]

I am GUTTED for Max, after scoring so highly but everyone else has just pushed themselves even further.

[Rosa]

It was a shame he went so early on. It might not have made any difference but he would have known what he had to achieve.

[Disco]

Yes, there was no chance for him to up his game seeing the competition. Poor guy. I really feel for him watching him cry. :(

Hurrah for Rhys!

So I finally decided to bite the bullet and go to Paris solo for a few days next week. I am going to fly (cheaper for me with points than the train going last minute), leave tomorrow and back Wednesday night. I’ve got canoe cross on Monday and tickets for a handball (semifinal I think) on Tuesday, but that’s in Lille. I don’t really want to go back and forth, so I will try to sell those. I’d rather snag a ticket for athletics instead.

I was supposed to go with a friend from Seattle but she’s not traveling to France anymore. And sadly no-one else can come last minute, so if any France or Paris-based turtles want a couple of handball tickets for Lille, or wants to be my +1 for the canoe event Monday afternoon please DM me!

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’m so pleased you’re going Epp!

[Turtle Bean]

This canoe thing is potty.

[Turtle Bean]

Kayak not canoe. It's like rowing, but also fighting each other on boats.

[Rosa]

It's completely nuts!

[Chicky]

I was just watching the canoe cross, it is insane! And Team GB have the current women’s and men’s world champions in it apparently - so good chance of some medals

This is what I’m seeing on Monday! The quarterfinals, semis and medal sessions :) I hope we get some Brits through!

Pip! I need all of your Paris tips!
