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.

dude trains for 4 years for this moment and does a false start in the first heat. gg bye

They used to allow you one false start until they realised people were doing it on purpose to try and get their opponents tired after going full pelt for 60m

I don't know how I feel about the false start rule. He motioned that he heard something from the crowd. I feel like they should switch to drag racing lights.


Apparently he was given about 30 condoms as part of his welcome pack in the village

Why give out condoms?

These are the genetic best of the best. We should be encouraging them to cross breed, for the good of the species.

They should be giving out massage oil and lube.


Remco is a god

Nobody has ever done the TT/Road Race double at the olympics


remuneration committee cannot be stopped here it seems


My heart rate doubled for a minute

We can't all be Elon Musk.


the Algerian fighter is supposed to be fighting right now, and it's not on any of the 767 networks in usa

I mean it was only the biggest story on twitter, why televise her match?


I wonder if that will be the last time biles ever does the double pike vault. she said she was terrified every time she did it. it's a dangerous vault


announcer Laurie Hernandez said Rebeca Andrade was maybe gonna do a triple twisting yurchenko which I didn't even know was a thing. she sounded scared, and said it was dangerous.

Andrade went for just the double twist. I'm kinda relieved, but would have been sick to see her do it


LOL you could hear Flavor Flav say "Yeah booooy" after the GOAT's second vault

I just tuned into cycling, and this is pretty enjoyable. It's like taking a tour of the streets of Paris.

It wasn't so much in Rio.

Bummer that Joss Whedon turned out to be a creep.

I got the same thing with Neil Gaiman and Sandman.


This PR USA ball game was 1 point now it's 14 like 5 mins later.

Disappointing.

I like Dwade on the mic.


I like how they talk about how Spo doesn't have any grey hair while LeBron does. Like he isn't dying that **** constantly.


The shorter 3 point line is DEFINITELY ****ing with Steph

she won. she's in the semi finals. I think it's Aug 6th, but not sure. that means win or lose she'll be fighting again on the 9th. gold medal match or bronze medal match

No bronze medal match in boxing. Semi-final losers both get bronze.


by bundy5 k

Suspicions should be raised about that Chinese swimmer because he just made the semis and then annihilated the field in both the semi and final. No one just makes the semi either on purpose for the 100m. It isn't like it is the 1500m you can literally miss it by one hundredth of a second and you can't mess about.

i read he got tested up to 7 times per day while he has been there..

so unless it's a new super drug that evades detection, it just seems like xenophobia.


There’s nothing better than Biles shilling mounjaro during every ad break


woah holland


that was a hell of a lap from Bol

I have no idea how Belgium is even competitive but nice choke as well


one of those two belgian women is the true gold medallist, the one on the second leg
