Paris Olympics 2024

It's kind of like not letting basketballers over 6ft tall compete in basketball because they have a natural advantage.

Unless you're tall with dreadful coordination, in which case you take up cycling

I'm more triathlete standard

Never knew this was in general. In the android app it's less obvious

This gymnastics is wasted on me. Just people bouncing around. Olga Korbut was much better.

BBC advertised this and never showed it?

Dunno, I'm watching on Discovery

Tbf they have more important sports to broadcast... like golf

Is this another Chinese doper?

There’s an interesting article on the DailyFail website about the boxing. You have to ignore the the usual sensationalist “shocking controversy” stuff at the end of the piece but the main body explains DSD, and the prejudice that people with a DSD condition face, very well to someone like me who knew little about the subject.

Are the BMX riders clipped in or do they ride on flats?

Freestyle ride flats. Racers are cleated.

Generally clipped in for the racing

Nice, cheers

Clipped in and sometimes modified pedals for these guys for extra tightness. Spd with a small platform, carbon Mtb shoes which they occasionally snap in half doing starts!
R Beth is a machine, amazing evening for her

Watching the BMX freestyle I was surprised to see they had a brake. Does it actually get used?

Biles wearing a diamond goat necklace is peak american.

Or was it a donkey? In that case dq

In an interview she said she wears it to piss off the haters (yes it is a goat)

Well, in this age of chest thumping selfpromotion, I'm not surprised.

Bit of fun, she does a lot for other people.
