She wore them yesterday too. Very weird. Her instagram suggests it’s not her standard outfit, but that she has done it before.

I find it bizarre that I don’t like swimming but very much enjoyed watching the 10k swim this morning.

I’d say the currents in the Seine have made all the triathlon swims and both 10k’s more interesting.

Men’s boulder final was awesome, GBs Toby Roberts and Hamish McArthur go through to the lead round sitting in 3rd and 4th

wasn’t he struggling? only caught a brief glimpse…

He qualified in 8th (final Q place) and beat climbing legends Adam Ondra and Jakob Schubert in the boulder round. So I would say he over performed

Lauren Parker was posting the other day that the para organisers are looking at a point to point route. She’s not happy. But I also understand why they’re considering it.

This lead climbing is crazy. That one hold where they need to spin around on one hand is utterly ridiculous!

speaking with one of the para-development coaches today and am itching to ask…

Great performance by Toby.
He’s the guy who’s been training on the exact replica boulder wall that’s in the same complex as we do our baby swimming :joy: Paris 2024 Olympics: The teenage climber going for Team GB gold - BBC News

I find the skill of the climbers so impressive. It’s one of those sports that once you’ve done a bit of climbing, it becomes even more awe inspiring how good these athletes are. I don’t feel the same about the speed climbers.

Really enjoyed that. Amazing athleticism

Hoped one of them would top out. Mr Sticky was the favourite apparently but looks like he got a bit unstuck in the latter stages

Ondra looks like grandpa amongst that lot lol
