Summer Paris 2024 - Track & Field

[Rustin Cohle]

I reckon that's one hand on gold.

 

[gbear]

Sensational by Kennedy to clear 4.90

 

[Teen Wolf]

Another magical pole vault moment... yet again ruined by Ch9's commentary being out of sync. The incompetence of this network smh.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Newman was over but clipped it on way down.

 

[pepsi]

NINA KENNEDY YOU STAR.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Moon passes at 4.90 so will get 2 jumps at 4.95 to try and beat Nina.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Jamaican left arm throw throws 70.00 and matt Denny down to bronze.

Cancel that the other Jamaican Stona who throws right hand goes from 8th to 1st.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Denny deliberately steps out of circle to foul his 4th throw.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

God can they hurry this pole vault up or what?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Technical issues delay getting bar back up,

US's Moon looked pissed off.

Nina is warm enough doesn't worry about track suit like the other 2.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Another big throw by Matt Denny 69.15 but not an improvement.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Holy shit, what a finish from Hall.

 

[Royces Hart]

Came from the clouds, that was insane

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Denny has finally got a medal after several 4ths and 5ths. One more throw crack the 70m Matt.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Well done Matt not the best throw tonight but no 4th.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Newman misses bronze for her and now there are two.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

#2 Jamaican Stona beats the favourite Alenka 70.00 vs 69.97.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Whur those peeps who said my predictions were wrong?

U asleep guys? lol

What a night!!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

She was over it and then touched it.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Thanks katie Nina gets the gold

 

[AdelaideGT]

I remember being there in Sydney 1996 when Budgie won the World Junior title. He was a bit thinner then (though he was always chunky) lol

 

[Royces Hart]

You bloody bewdy!

So well deserved.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Most Aussie medals in athletics since Mexico 1968.

And we still have Jess Hull & Mackenzie Little to come. Plus some possible smokeys in relays.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

1 gold 1 silver 4 bronzes is first time since won 6 since Mexico City's 2-2-2 result.

Does help there are 48 events vs 36 events but still a stunning result given the age of many of competitors.

Need to keep building for Brisbane 2032.

's after Cathy Freeman won in Sydney, basically like the race after the Melbourne Cup for Aussie fans.

But what a sensational race. Hudson-Smith had that all the way except for last 6 or 7 metres and Quincy Hall pinched it.

5 guys ran under 44 seconds. That might be a record.
