2024 Summer Olympics from Paris

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.

I mean, Mahuchikh is definitely winning this. Just hoping for a bronze.


such a sick burn when they are doing the intros and they are like 'in lane 4, rene runner!' *crowd cheers* and then they go straight past lane 3 to introduce percy pace in lane 2


GBR's Hodgkinson legit


as someone who always makes sure to watch the olympics and is therefore an expert on athletics, i feel confident in saying that OBLIQUE TRIANGLE is value at 5/2 here

I mean the Olympics shouldn't just be "sports that people don't normally watch". Any globally played sport with strong participation should be an Olympic sport unless you want to eradicate anything but ancient sports, which would make the games super unprofitable and far less entertaining.

But why something like breakdancing is an Olympic sport and something like darts isn't deserves discussion

No, the point is that the Olympics is not the most prestigious title in tennis. Witness the number of top players who didn't turn up. This is not a remotely original point btw. There was similar discussion when football, rugby, probably some other sports became Olympics sports.

i dont like this one bit. hammer throwers should look like butterbean. bad development

What are the odds for Kerley? I still think it's Thompson, but Kerley looked pretty strong.


kishane 4/7
OBLIQUE 5/2
lyles 11/2 (was basically joint-favorite pre-heats, has fallen way down based on his runs)
fred 20/1
jacobs 80/1


8 billion people on earth, lets find out which one is fastest


lyles jumping around like a mad lad


why are they milking those men like this? they had 1 job

who would have guessed that watching 10sec every 4 years doesn't make you an expert


i'm as surprised as you


9.79 & 9.80 winning 2024 & 2020 olympics respectively is kinda weak. are the PEDs less performant these days?


LYLES

I am never betting Thompson at those odds. I didn't see Lyles odds like that, but that would have been a good bet. I still think Kerley was the best bet.


That was the tough one for Lyles.
The double is a lock
