Paris 2024 Olympics

Nice! Someone yesterday said they thought he was conserving his energy for this.

Good to see it paid off

Why would he do that, would it not be better to only run once to qualify?

Not if you see you're not going to make it the first time

Fair enough.

I have nightmares of being forced to watch dressage and synchronised swimming.

I'd take dressage every time over hobby horsing...

I think SA will get medal #5 tonight

Yeah she looked good in her semi. It looked to me as if she just coasted most of the last 60m for an easy 2nd, while the girl who won expended a lot of energy.

Galaxy S24 Ultras were used to film the sailing competition at the 2024 Olympic games

Paris is crowded with fans who came to watch the Olympics live, but many more people are watching from home – and Samsung has been helping to get them as close to the action as possible.

Right now, fans can follow the sailing competition that is taking place in the waters near Marseille. Samsung and the organizers are using Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to livestream the progress of each competitor.

The phones were installed on the sailboats used in these events. For the kitesurfing and windsurfing events, each athlete had an S24 Ultra strapped to their shoulder. Also, there were phones mounted on the buoys to provide additional angles.

Getting this to work was no easy task as these phones were put in terrible conditions for a digital gadget – they have to survive being splashed by salty water and being out in the hot sun all day long.

The phones were right in the mix of things, being mounted to the masts of sailboats and even to the shoulders of wind and kitesurfers.

Darts?

Don't joke, there was an article about it the other day.

EDIT:

Darts could be an Olympic sport by 2028 - with betting traders predicting the sport will almost certainly grace the biggest stage by the 2036 summer games if it doesn't make its debut in LA

Kayak cross (aka Mario Kart with boats according to social media) quarters, semis and finals on now.

I'd say that's even more gut wrenching for him, to be so close yet never make it to the podium. Poor dude

After 13 years with Werner Prinsloo as his coach...imagine what he could've reached with a proper international coach and coaching program. This guy has been running on raw talent all these years.

What a pity.
