Paris Olympiad 2024

cricket used to be in the olympics at the start should come back esp if it was in the short 20 overs version im sure brisbane got an olympics soon maybe could be added then

think netball not been added because apart from commonwealth countrys no one else plays it was voted on to join this olympics but didnt make it again maybe brisbane could bring it to the games

Speaking of dressage...... The individual final is ongoing right now with three British horses and riders in amongst it all.

I think once they allow pro wrestlers into olympics that could be a straw breaker.

I think the one sport that doesn't benefit much from olympic exposure is Handball. I have read it is a sport that isn't played professionally as much it should be, and I'm intrigued as to why. Again you could say same thing about Water polo.

^They are never going to allow pro wrestlers into the Olympics... The Olympics is supposedly for sport and not prescripted entertainment.

A form of Greco - Roman wrestling is at the Olympics and I believe that this starts tomorrow.

The haul of BRONZE rises further.
This time it's Charlotte Fry on her horse Glamourdale in the individual dressage.

Amber Rutter will compete in the Women's Skeet shooting final later. Tough qualification process and she held her nerve very well.

Alongside that we have a bunch of individual apparatus finals featuring numerous Brits in the Gymnastics.

The womens road race has begun in cycling featuring four riders for GB.

The mens Golf is on the home stretch with Tommy Fleetwood battling hard for a medal.

And last but not least we have the small matter of Djokovic v Alcaraz for the tennis singles Gold.

Yeah Kurt Angle won the gold in atlanta i think and chad gable competed in 2012

WWE had another one forget his name was olympic champion went thru the performance center and then they silently got rid he could wrestle but had no personality

think with the next in line programme they might get a few olympians trying out after careers end they just had a tryout seem to be a lot of ex college athletes and esp gymnasts going thru

Down to the last shots in the skeet with Amber Rutter guaranteed a medal.

Into extra time.
It's a shoot off.
The shooting equivalent of sudden death penalties.

A highly controversial finish with Rutter seemingly hitting a crucial target but deemed as a miss.
No VAR in shooting.
And that's that. It's all over.

Not to be for Rutter but still a sensational effort to claim SILVER.

Closing holes in the golf.
World number one Scottie Scheffler has somewhat predictably soared to the top of the leaderboard. Staying with him is Tommy Fleetwood with Matsuyama one back. Tense finish.

BRONZE for GB in the mens vault thanks to Harry Hepworth. Top effort.
