Paris Olympic Games 2024

How does it work in the golf? If there's, say, 6 people tied in 2nd do they all get silvers - and then does whoever is in 8th get a bronze? Or is there a play off for medals?

It’s playoffs for all medals I think. In your scenario all 6 would playoff until 2 are left then they’d playoff for silver and bronze.

This tennis final is quality. Novak trying every trick in the book to gain an advantage and win the first set.

Thanks - that would make sense. And yes - the tennis is top quality (I've got about three screens on the go). I can't say I like Djokovic - but there is no denying he is most likely the greatest of all time when it comes to tennis. It's always fascinating to see him up against Alcaraz.

So this is the one title he doesn't have.... yet.

Come on Tommy! 4 shot swing in the last 2 holes. His putter is red hot.

Whoever decided to have the Men’s Tennis final clash with the final round of the Golf needs shooting.

We're in with a medal shout in the shooting.

Speaking of shooting, Amber Rutter is looking good for a medal in the skeet.

Watching golf is boring.  Golf in 30 minutes would be better so you could see all the main action compressed.

Looking like silver for Amber Rutter in the skeet. This pesky Chilean just won't miss.

Chadid hasn't shatit. So a silver for Rutter. Oops - thought it was over

My word. The Chilean just missed 2. They're now tied with 6 shots left each.

I knew it was going to trigger you lads

 

Combined, you both sound like my wife right now.

It's a shoot-off for gold.

[foxy boxing]

The bird nearly cost Amber but it's a shoot off!

[trabuch]

This is pressure for the shooters - penalty shoot out

This Olympic golf ain’t far off a major for me, definitely ahead of the Players, PGA elevated events, Fed Ex cup etc.

You can see how much it means to them and how much they’re digging deep. Rory looks distraught at putting in the drink then.

Superb stuff.

****ed it
