Down to 12 seconds now. Hope he can keep this up.

Hopefully the two chasing frogmen will put Yee off

Damo

Looking at it in the wide shot that is a big gap between first and second.

Didn't Wilde get penalised in the Tokyo event? Ended up with bronze instead of silver?

Edit, it was the comm games, cost him the gold to Yee

Yeah he unclipped his helmet to early

Yup. Unless he cracks, it's Wilde's to lose. Not long until he gets the bell

canefan

2.5km from the finish. Looks like 100m lead

canefan

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

canefan

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 blue.

and the sunshine.

@Bones I’m really disappointed you upvoted this

Damo

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

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.
