Paris 2024 Daily: Day 13 - Men's 400m and Steeplechase golds, and a weight loss controversy

08 Aug 2024

Description

The men's 400m Olympic Champion is Quincy Hall, who produced a remarkable final 100m to reel in Matthew Hudson Smith. We discuss the historically fast race, with a focus on Hall's last 100m were a triumph due to survival, rather than a blistering kick. We also analyze the men's 3000m steeplechase, where el-Bakkali defended his gold and Girma's hopes crashed, literally, into the Paris track. A brief look at the team pursuit golds in cycling is followed by a news round-up including a fascinating wrestling weight loss controversy, and some drama around lane draws for Olympic finals, with some implications for tonight's action. Finally, we preview the big track finals tonight, and Ross the Octopus makes his gold medal picks.Join DiscourseIf you're enjoying of Paris Daily podcasts, and generally love sports science, consider a small donation to become a Patron of the site, and get access to our Discourse community, where you can join like-minded fans and sports enthusiasts to keep the conversation going.Here is the story of the Indian weightlifter, Vinesh Phogat, discussed on the showA graphic showing the change in lane draw allocations for the track finals - better than listening to Ross try to explain themKenny Bednarek's tweet and the resultant discussion that he protested Hosted on Acast.
