Paris Olympics 2024

Front puncture

What tyres are the Americans using? At least four offs for the women and Sheffield's been off too

This coverage is shit, I want to see the top riders, not every no-mark finishing in slo-mo

Or helicopter shots of Sacre Coeur

It's the worst we've seen in a looong time

Very childish garden design

Fucks sake this is ridiculous

Very frustrating coverage.

Fortunately for the mechanic, that was Knibb, not Dygert.

It's even on the image. Doh!

Yes she is.

She absolutely monstered it. Really pleased for her, she deserved a big TT win like that.

What happened to Plapp? Did he crash out?

I was out all day. I've only looked at CN last night to see who won. Looks like it was a bit wet and crashy.

It seems rubbish coverage isn’t limited to yesterday’s TT. Watching the womens gymnastics and there’s something happening all of the time on the appeeatus so why do they spend 75% of the time with cameras showing the gymnasts standing by their bags?

There is a lot of downtime in most sport, one of the things about it being live and lots going on is that it's more obvious.

It's also quite interesting sometimes to see that side of it, emotions, reactions etc.

Not really had any problems with the stuff I've been enjoying, like the Rowing.

You could always just watch the 'today at the Olympics' if you just want the good stuff.

Poor guy, sounds like his crash was pretty bad:

Sounds awful. No mention on any coverage I’ve seen which is pretty poor. He went off 9th last so in theory in with a chance.

"Disappointment for the South African"

Music at the archery final making it sound like we're about to witness the hunger games

Even the coaches getting a name intro and big cheer from the crowd

Why do the bows have a bunch of sticks attached?

The counter weights?

The counter weight acts as a stabiliser is my limited understanding

They also cut out vibration

Ganna was very close to a nasty crash too
