2024 Paris Olympics

[Lorric]

USA are crumbling here. 10 unanswered points by France!

[Firnen]

Italy would be a huge winner of this calculation @Lorric, their 12 golds come from 10-11 different sports.

I may try to do this later today, it's a very interesting idea!

Would be very interested to see it!

For us we got golds in the following disciplines: Equestrian, Cycling, Swimming, Shooting, Triathlon, Rowing, Gymnastics, Climbing, Athletics, Sailing. That's 10, 11 if you split track cycling from outdoor. 14 golds total.

Well, didn't take long for them to claw this back and now lead by a point.

That's a lot of countries! Very nice, didn't expect so many would medal!

We got spread thin and dropped. What did we get gold in?

Triathlon.

[Lorric]

US lead by 2 after Q3.

Btw, I'm watching GB win some more rowing medals while I watch. 2023 European Championship in Bled Slovenia. The place is absolutely beautiful. Like something out of a storybook.

EDIT: Thanks @Firnen

[Lorric]

Have a look at some images, it's like a fairytale place:

This is too close to watch the rowing as well. 49-49, 6mins left!

[Lorric]

France just missing 3 after 3 after 3 after 3 after 3.

[Lorric]

USA lead by 1pt, 1:32 left on the clock...

[Firnen]

Due to Russia's ban (they had 20 golds and 71 medals in Tokyo), most top countries won more Golds than Tokyo - but only +1 and +2 for USA and China.

[Lorric]

USA win 66-67. If not for their abysmal 3pt shooting, France would have won this. After they went 10pts up, did they miss every single one except for the one with 5secs left?

Basketball is such a drag in Q4, it's awful. This game wasn't even a bad example of it but it goes on forever. Can you imagine how bad other sports would be with all these timeouts and stoppages in the closing minutes dragging the game out and killing all the momentum of the closing minutes which are often the most fiercely contested in other sports.

NBA is 10 times worse with ad breaks.

[anty1975]

US won by 67:66 women's basketball final but respect to France, for the first time in ages opponents of US at least made it close.

Both teams had a very poor shooting percentage, partly it was because of strong defenses of both teams and cause refs allowed rough play, many fouls that are normally whistled were not whistled for both teams. There were very few easy uncontested shots.
