The "ha, it's your women not your men winning" is a JD Vance-level weird dig at Australia, but seems to keep coming up on here.

Tbf the weird disparity between the performance of the women and men has been hotly debated in Aus since London; the men have been notorious chronic underperformers for years

I used it as the mens swimmers are hardly doing anything compared to the women who are dominant. The men's swimming is actually fun as the medals are being spread about numerous nations.

Hungarian shooter not wearing glasses, some kind of super sight compared to the cyborgs she's up against, but wins bronze nonetheless.

Are there going to be memes about her like the Turkish bloke then?

Really sad to see so many empty seats at venues because the French made the prices ridiculous to get in.

Andy Murray living his best life now, retired so watching as much sport as he can. At the hockey at present.

Was wondering about that

Assume that accommodation is horrendous as well

Can’t let the clog wearer win this

Never watched fencing before, the men's epee team final was a good place to start - huge swings in momentum/result in the last minute alone leading to extra time

Got some family over there atm who somehow jagged some tix to that event

Paris in summer is horrendously priced at the best of times. Can only imagine what it’s like for this

They were saying at the swimming that it was £400 a ticket.

Dutch with another rowing gold. Going well this Games, quietly picking up a good haul.

So now the swimming is done, time to hang on while everyone passes us.

Still two more evenings, no? And the long distance

Who knows. Week 2 is normally where the fun medals from nowhere come. I find them more enjoyable for the surprise factor.

Nope, a mate of mine went to Paris this week on business, no issue with hotels at all.

Also, I thought London prices were steep, but everything sold out. Seems the French fill up where they have medal chances but nowhere else.

Yeah the swimming program is longer than usual this time, still got two full days to go
