You are right. Maybe the fault of our french journalists who talk regularly about the number of french medals.
As there is a home advantage for the French team, I suspect that you will finish higher than us FR. I’m just enjoying it while it lasts!
@frenchrooster - you may be a nation of culinary gold medalists but you also eat Sausage Andouille
That was an absolutely bizarre race. Knowing nothing about the finer points of sailing it was mad at the end with the Dutch initially misplacing the finishing line & then watching others just sail across - only to just scrape in ahead of the French pair to win gold?!?
I ordered this by mistake about 10 years ago. I’m still in shock ! Made worse by the fact Mrs Si had a beautiful stew - so I had food envy on top
One of my favourite meal.
Andouillette AAA sauce moutarde
With that athletes would not complained about the Olympic food, as they do.
…tripe and intestinal-tract sausage has no place on a dinner plate
Bryony Page - trampoline Gold!
BZ👍🏻
I watched her routine on BBC website. Astonishing.
From Crewe. All the best people are from Crewe
Didn’t see this live, but the different classes have complex rules. Women’s Skiff has its page on the site which attempts to explain the sailing. The Dutch took the wrong course at the end and recovered to win!

Watched this match this morning. No comment.
( When Teddy Riner won, this happened).
I see the show jumpers won team gold. Far from my cup of tea but it’s obviously a great achievement.
Now owned by the Japanese (whisky maker Suntory), along with that most British of soft drinks, Ribena.
Not to mention, Lucozade as well.
What’s the world coming to?
Here in the UK we put our hands together in prayer before eating.
We didn’t used to have to do this when we were part of the EU.
She is NOT male.
She is female but happens to have 46,XY SRY- genetics.
This does not make her male, (amongst other things, she lacks the SRY gene).
Algeria does not allow people to be legally transgender or change their sex assigned at birth, and she was assigned female at birth.
Attacking an intersex woman like this is inappropriate.
Gabriel Medina, surfing, OG 2024. Impressive picture.
