The thread of all Olympic Threads

Flipping heck. Don’t really like tennis since Ivan Lendl’s time but this men’s doubles with Andy Murray. Fabulous. Gripping etc.

Is Andy Murray still playing!? Has he not retired like 20 times.

This is the last one…apparently! He’s the mark todd of tennis well minus the whipping

 

[Equi]

But he only retired about a week ago!! Again!!! I give up.

 

[teapot]

No he always said he'd retire after the Olympics

 

[blodwyn1]

Unbelievable!!!!

 

[alibali]

Brilliant comeback

The time stamp on that is 14:57 looking at the bottom middle in which case that would probably have been immediately after the competition and before appeals etc

Oh my goodness this is too stressful, that 15 really should be removed from what I saw watching, and from the various stills people have posted, it was a beautiful round. What a venue, every shot, every angle it looked amazing!

I need to stop - I keep refreshing the results page like a demented Swiftie trying to buy tickets. Off to watch the swimming. What will be, will be . . . I don't have any magical powers to make it so. I am working tomorrow (boo), but will obviously have the showjumping on in the background - fingers' and toes' tightly crossed for happy healthy horses tomorrow, and for the team to keep their cool and jump as many clears as possible.

You are not alone!

 

[Michen]

I can’t believe it’s still there.

How far is it from the main Versailles entrance? We are there for the dressage at the weekend..it looks a fair distance from the actual palace. Are they providing buses? X

I am in B04 row19 seat 65 on Saturday and CO5Row 5 seat 105. Anywhere near you?

 

[Kadastorm]

I have the swimming on now too… keep trying to refresh to see the 15 removed from Ros but here we are… hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow

 

[Honey08]

I hope this isn’t going to turn into another Athens!

Block 23! Row 42

 

[Supertrooper]

Just said on British equestrian facebook page that the penalties are still under review

 

[teapot]

If Ros's 15 stands then it's a dark day for the sport imho. It's not even questionably close.

BEF have just done their evening social media post saying Ros's score is still under review.

 

[fidleyspromise]

No he always said he'd retire after the Olympics

Which olympics?

 

[teapot]

Which olympics?

After today, maybe LA? The man is a machine!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I don't understand how it is still under review? Can't be as clear cut as we hoped/thought then? Or is it part of their tactics?

 

[SkylarkAscending]

Oh. Got excited too soon. Stupid webpage defaulted to dressage results

[Bobthecob15]

Nooo!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Yeah, I bet they are! All the British crashing the system refreshing it to see when Ros's 15 are removed.

 

[criso]

I guess my inside source wasn't as inside as they thought.

Let's hope they are reviewing overnight and will make any adjustments in the morning.

 

[PolarSkye]

In other news - the Beeb are sure betting the farm on Adam Peaty winning tonight! So. Much. Hype.

 

[Kadastorm]

Worried Peaty will not live up to the pressure and it will be worse for his MH
