I always think of Roger Moore shooting the guy out of the tree.
I bought my Accord Type-R in 2002 off a guy who was moving to the States to go professional iirc. Just Googled him: 2x World Champ Ben Brunton.

Well, we won gold.

Presumably it’s about ability to hold your concentration for the duration of the contest as much as anything. It looks like the guy in 2nd only hit 1 of the last 5 while our guy was still hitting 5 of 5

The BBC weather forecast is showing heavy rain and thunder for Paris tomorrow morning, so if the triathlons do go ahead we could have some comedy bike handling moments

Insanely talented, but the TV coverage turned into the Simone Biles show.
I guess the broadcast feed is catering for the US market?

I only caught the Beeb highlights - am renting a home with a licence (near Penzance)
She’s had a lot of coverage and so I guess they are all trying to cash in
