Paris Olympiad 2024

just know media will be saying daley won it almost by himself like they usally do

Daley and Williams were absolutely in sync in every round.
Six fantastic dives.
The Chinese pair were like robots and totally unbeatable.

The Team Eventing competition is into its closing stages. Tension building. GB in contention as we go deep into the show jumping phase. The dressage and cross country elements already completed over the weekend.

Aaannnddd it's a glorious GOOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD in Versailles for GB.

Take a bow Ros Canter, Tom McEwen and Laura Collett and especially their respective horses, Lordships Grafallo, JL Dublin and London 52.
Some horsey love definitely due.
.

They bring in the reserve and then they win the gold.

Collett and McEwen now head into the individual show jumping final this afternoon.
Meanwhile Tom Pidcock aims to defend his Mountain biking cross country title. An all action afternoon.

GOLD

To be updated

Phew Well done all concerned.

Poor Tom Pidcock has suffered tyre problems and is now facing an uphill struggle to get in the medals let alone win Gold.

up into fifth some 30 - odd seconds behind

Ok so Pidcock has forced his way back to second place and is now in pursuit of French leader Victor Koretzky. 17 seconds the gap. It was 36. Into the last 2 laps.
Hold on to your hats.

EDIT: The gap is closing.
The gap is closing.
Pidcock is closing iiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn and is back in the lead.

Will his tyres hold out?
Frantic stuff.

Koretzky takes the lead back
Pidcock fights back
Koretzky again
Pidcock again

GOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD

Wouldn't be surprised if the French try and launch a protest at the final overtake by Pidcock though as the two made contact .

Over to the individual show jumping with Laura Collett and Tom McEwen going for GB.
