Wilde just looks dialled in. Yee doesn't look strong

I wish they had a distance counter to count us down

spiking the ball towards the Eiffel Tower with the ball caught in the gap in the metalwork

Not a euphemism?

A wide angle version of this perspective and composition - but maybe the tower may look too small

Alternatively a zoomed in shot compressing the foreground and background

Looks like Oriental Bay with an Eiffel Tower photoshopped in the background

and the sunshine.

@Bones I’m really disappointed you upvoted this

Is it weird that he is carrying his watch rather than wearing it?

Maybe he can look without breaking his arm rhythm? Uh oh, Yee has closed up and now passed Wilde!

[Toddy]

fuck it

[MiketheSnow]

Destroyed his soul

[canefan]

What a race. Hard luck Wilde, great job pushing him to the brink

[Bones]

Ahh fuck man, impressive finish. So close! Good on ya for the silver fella

[SouthernMann]

Well fuck. What a run from Yee

[canefan]

They both look totally fucked

[Donsteppa]

Could see Wilde running out of gas there. Had there been another 200m to the finish I don't think he'd have held silver - so in the end a bloody good achievement. Amazing from Yee to find that extra gear tho.

That was brilliant from Yee

Converted a 15 sec deficit to a 6 sec winning margin between 1:41:38 and 1:43:33

[Bones]

MR is around?

[Canerbry]

Incredible effort from Yee, so close to being the same for Wilde, lets face it a great race from him too.

[canefan]

Wilde ran a great race. Made Yee beat him, and that's all he can ask for

[Canerbry]

That's what the 'Lympics is about.
