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 blue.

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.

Hugging each other at the end, great mates apparently

That was a bit gutting. I feel for Wilde but from the looks of it he left it all out there on the run. Can't feel too bad for him.

Chris B.

Aarghhh!!

Wilde climbing stairs at the end.

He just needed to have one more little surge to disillusion Yee's chase.

Wonder why Yee let him get so far ahead.

Must have burned a lot of fuel making up for the swim.
