2024 Summer Olympics from Paris
Amazed we don't have a thread yet. I will do up a fancier OP tomorrow but this will do for now as a placeholder.
Women's softball opens the games in roughly 5hrs with soccer/football, archery and some other sports starting before the opening ceremony Friday night Japan time.
PREDICTIONS: Rona causes a stupid amount of issues, I still waste approx 100hrs of coverage anyway.
****ing Dutch
The concept of handing out medals to all 4 and counting them individually (e.g. saying phelps won 8 medals when 3 were in relays or whatever) never sat right with me
The 3 dutch blokes were bang average all race long and they get to hear that they're gold medal winners because Bol carried the last leg
damn now some canuck teenager vaporises some yanks in the pool
a bad 5 mins for the US and A
the concept of handing out medals for every 5 meters in swimming is super lol
ooh the 100m wombed-man final
i got ALBERT
hm apparently the outside lanes, 7,8,9, are much drier than the others
dunno if that matters
ALBERT
NOT CLOSE
Richardson sucked
man USA is having a bad night
eventual gold medalist dominated her semi final and then walked off scowling without hugging any of the losers. there was no other possible winner after that
does swimming really need both a 800m and a 1500m? Are they not handing out enough medals as it is
and then don't forget the medleys, and relays, and mixed, and and and at every 5m interval
imagine being a swimmer and not having a million medals
How hard would it be to sneak in a jet ski to an Olympic pool?
Imagine getting on one while there's athletes swimming.
Don't even go fast, just faster than them to let everyone know that swimming is stupid.
Would the lifeguards come into the water and try to chase you?

don't try that **** next Olympics in LA. LAPD will murder your ass
Femke Bol was unbelievable
Also lol at people arguing against gold medals for the weaker members of a team
Think that through across all sports for a few seconds
But mainly lol at the idiotic French bureaucrats who have reinforced their reputation by not allowing Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce into the stadium for her semi
it was like she was running against high schoolers
She's having a slightly good year.
oof job she’s a white European. Imagine if she was Chinese - we’d all think she should be banned
