Paris Olympiad 2024

The illustrious career of Sir Andy Murray has reached it's end with a doubles defeat alongside Dan Evans in the Olympic quarter finals. Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul prevailed 6-2 6-4. And with that Murray can take his final bow after an outstanding career.

Congratulations and thank you good Sir. Snooks stands to applaud one last time.

What would be the difference between french & british tyres

I was very impressed by Dan Evans in the Olympics.

He gave great support to Andy Murray in the tournament and was upset at the end of last nights match.

Mike Tyson says he's willing to Box Olympic 'DUDE' with all Proceeds to go to a Battered Women's Charity.

But in Algeria all you get is 'stop crying'

Friday is gonna be a busy day folks. Strap yourselves in.

First up it's over to the diving pool, then the rowing regatta, then the trampolining, then the sailing, then the swimming, then athletics and finally the BMX.

Will prob lay more of a glove on tyson than Jake paul would

Up first then it's Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding in the 3m synchronised diving final.
Can they get in amongst it?

And over at the rowing Britain's Tom George and Ollie Wynne-Griffith are about to go in the men's pair final.
Agony for Tom George and Ollie Wynne-Griffith beaten on the line by the Croatian crew.
It's SILVER for GB.

I was getting worried when the commentators were building up the British rowing pair. Beware the dreaded commentators curse and that's how it turned out.

Is it going to be one of those days when we win lots of silvers
