JamieD 20,023 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 No comment from @Inigo on Mijaín López matching Milo of Croton's 2500 year-old record with five straight gold medals in consecutive games in Greco-Roman wrestling? I'm disappointed. A more impressive feat than Phelps' imo. The greatest modern Olympian. Inigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 15,383 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Did anyone watch the womens 3 on 3 basketball the other day? Big German falling over like prime CR7 whenever she was touched 🤣 it was brilliantly over the top. Worse thing about it was she was legitimately being fouled but every time she felt contact she went.

I can promise you he was trying 100% (it's the Olympics final). He knows these guys finish fast and he was also looking to run a fast time. Can't tell how hard someone is trying by the expression on their face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid I don't agree, if you watch every other final tonight you'll see what I mean, when you push yourself that extra 10-20% the strain is evident in your body and your face. I hope for his sake he was because then he can be happy at the silver rather than forever kicking himself for not getting gold. He did also say he went into his next gear too late.

I hope for his sake he was because then he can be happy at the silver rather than forever kicking himself for not getting gold. He did also say he went into his next gear too late. Every athlete is different. There's an element where you're trying not to tie up in the last 30m-50m of the 400m. I've watched MHS for years and he always looks like this. It's an Olympic final. Hall is a notoriously fast finisher and has beaten MHS recently. MHS has also been utterly obsessed with winning gold in all interviews the last 12 months - he was trying 100%.

Yip, between that and them cutting away at 6 for the News then back again at 7. I hate watching it on the iPlayer as you have about a minute delay than what the actual is showing 😕 Also really annoyed at the lack of football they're showing. About 5 seconds of the goal the USA women scored to get to the final.
