At the very least, it will probably be the Norway national record for a while yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I reckon he can beat it, and the American silver medalist can too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caption just flashed up saying 35 minutes done but only on lap 2 of 7. f**k watching that.

peasy23 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Sky Brown wins the bronze medal in the skateboarding Park. Dropped the same trick twice in her first two runs but nailed it in her final attempt. Two of the medallists are 12 and 13. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 She lives in America with her Japanese mother and British father. No wonder.Dual nationality, as is Bombette Martin.She lives in Japan in Miyazaki half the year, and the other half in the US.She had previously said she would represent Japan but changed her mind in March 2019.I think the only time she is in the UK is to visit her dad's side of the family.Family are all skateboarders and her nursery had its own skateboard park. She's even built a ramp in her back garden because there's no park near her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done around 6 marathon swims in the past three or four years and you would be astonished at the speed of the elite swimmers. I only started swimming a couple of years before my first 10km and despite doing a fair amount of training I recall having to stop the car a couple times on the way up the road as my shoulders and arms were too sore holding the steering wheel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they're great athletes but as someone said above it really isn't a spectator sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
