Summer Paris 2024 - Day 5

[PoopingHindi]

massive kick from Yee.
brilliant tactical run

 

[Plugger35]

Yee just motored past Wilde to snatch the gold at the end.

Disappointing, Wilde looked like he had the gold in the bag.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Ouch, feel for the Kiwi bloke, but
what a comeback. Good sportsmanship by him.

 

[Donakebab]

That was an insane finish from Yee. To lead for so long and still have a burst like that in your back pocket is just crazy.

And the Aussie runs a massive last lap as well to finish 7th. Bike transition killed him

 

[PerthBoy86]

I have no idea about competitive triathlon but I thought Aus was really good at it.

In hindsight even if he nailed the transition I highly doubt he would have been able to hang with Yee. May have been a chance at a minor medal but he looked pretty cooked on the rare moments the camera saw him.

 

[Donakebab]

That underbite on Yee though...

 

[Alfonz]

Hauser finished super strong. Came in from 11th to 7th between the last 2 splits. A detailed preview I read picked him for the bronze based on his last kilometre kick. And I reckon it could have panned out that way if he didn't crash in the transition.

He was 52 seconds down heading into last lap and finished 44 seconds behind. You never know

kudos to him - he certainly seemed to be struggling early. Gutsy effort in that case.

 

[The King!]

Puerto rico foul was bs

 

[scoman]

Houser did lose ground to all the leaders though. He started the run leg only about 10-15 seconds behind despite his poor transition/ fall. Made up plenty of places but slipped further behind the leaders. Must have been struggling a bit and possibly hard to find the motivation if you're not in that top group fighting it out.

Hard when you are his size, Yee was built for it

I blame the comms team. Got my hopes up when they told us Hauser was probably the 2nd best runner in the race. I bought in. Made room on the table for a medal. Plonkers!!

 

[Drummond]

Djokovic struggling to find any rhythm.

 

[whattagun07]

anyone else a bit over the Tillies?

 

[Drummond]

anyone else a bit over the Tillies?

Very much so. The host before introduced them as, “Our Tillies”. Yeah, who else would they be?

 

[Royces Hart]

anyone else a bit over the Tillies?

Bit over Harry Garside

 

[Jeremias]

Women’s BMX final getting underway now.

Natalya Diehm in action

 

[PerthBoy86]

How do these stunt BMXers get this good without killing themselves?

 

[juice t]

That 88 will look very good until everyone gets 95s

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Djokovic struggling to find any rhythm.

This opponent always drives me nuts complete serve bot

 

[LukeParkerno1]

anyone else a bit over the Tillies?

Give them a statue

 

[Plugger35]

The BMX Bandits are more impressive than the Skateboarders.
