Olympics Bore Festival

[MacAdder]

I've not seen as much as I usually would have, due to timings, but there have been some brilliant moments.
the 2 high jumpers sharing the medal.
a 13 year old winning a bronze for Britain today.
400m hurdles records in men's and women's both absolutely smashed (in the men's the top 3 were in the top 4 times of all time)
the Dutch 1500 runner falling on the last lap but still winning her heat.
classic Olympics stuff

Agree the 400m hurdles final was good although I got a bit confused when people said they'd predicted a record time as the track was "fast".
Aren't all tracks the world over the same?
If not, why not as it dampens world records for me.

Just watched on replay the 13 year old skateboarding get the bronze. Great stuff!

Her parents, Mr and Mrs Brown, obvs have a sense of humour naming her Sky

Could she reach the medal table?

tracks are definitely not all the same. they say the Tokyo one is quite bouncy, which has helped with the hurdling events

After watching competitive sheep-shearing at a County Show years ago - I'd rather watch Olympic paint-drying.

Is that the electric lead?

What do you expect?

An iron with an internal combustion engine?

Be serious!
