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.

Wow Gabby almost ran off the track on the hand off ... which I assume is a DQ?

That's the only way the U.S. could have lost. Lead was large enough that Gabby Thomas could have stopped for a cigarette break and the U.S. probably would have still won.

How do you bring Tatum in the gold medal game in the 1st quarter but not against Serbia?

It's matchups. You just aren't smart enough to understand. (I apparently am not smart enough either.)


France showed up at least.


LOL at Lebron getting put on a poster.


taekwondo is the worst thing

in the high jump can competitors choose what height they want to attempt? if so, once they choose a height can they choose a shorter height later?

i mean it looks like they just go higher and higher but the legs are just dead, so the chances of hitting higher jumps goes down drastically as the legs get more and more fatigued

i'd like a scenario where the misses at a height still count, but you can go down to another height if you wish. this way we have competitors fresh and going for high jumps st

The announcers said it goes down by some fixed amount until one of them doesn't make it. Fatigue becomes a factor.


Can someone teach these Olympic level basketball players TO THROW A SAFE PASS.

So many bad passes from both sides.

IF IT IS NOT THERE THEN DONT FORCE IT

not talking about the end of an event once there's been a tie bc competitors max out at a height. i'm talking about the very start of the competition

No, you cannot choose a shorter height.


How did France make this final?

"Gunn, a 36-year-old Australian university lecturer known in breaking as b-girl Raygun, lost all three of her round-robin battles by a combined score of 54-0 on Friday."

WTF

Lol - the Olympics selection of her is a ****ing disgrace and the whole sport in general. Glad it hasn't been included for LA and it will never be seen again in the Olympics.

Refs + Yabusele & Lessort dominating inside + Coeurdonnier going from a non-shooter to Curry randomly

wonder if the rowers and shot putters etc resent having to share the olympic village with the people who do pretend events

5D chess by the Aussies. They know they'll never compete for a breaking medal, so instead make such a mockery of it that it gets thrown out of the games for good.


I'm glad to see that Curry has brought his lifelong habit of throwing in a couple of terrible turnovers per game to Olympic basketball.


lol Steph lighting up the Frenchies


Steph you god


**** the french


Ok that last shot was legendary


**** yes curry


That last three by Steph was just stupid.

France couldn't hit a 3 for ****, but that rainbow 3 from Steph at the end was outrageous.
