I’m not against surfing being an Olympic sport, but is it really one when it’s taking place an entire world away?

No special equipment, no earplugs or special glasses. Casually getting a Silver with a hand in the pocket.

In an Olympic competition where participants generally use all the available equipment at their disposal to get ahead, Turkey’s Yusuf Dikeç offered a masterclass in nonchalance during the air pistol mixed team competition Tuesday – and went viral for it.


While his opponents took to the competition with specialized equipment – custom glasses to obscure vision in one eye, large ear protection and tinted lenses – Dikeç managed to claim Turkey’s firshis everyday glasses and one hand in his pocket

France getting that home refereeing smh

Predictable, it doesn't seem like a big scandal to me, it's always been like this. And it's not even surprising the medals they got. They are having an incredible Olympics and that was to be expected. Those who host the Olympics always overperform, and they already started at a high level anyway.

Look at Spain in Barcelona 92 and in subsequent editions.

I heard athletes village has no AC, caps on food. There's clearly a trend enforced at these games.

They said the rooms have been made "cool" by design and no AC saves on electricity. I did read some athletes had bought their own systems (I assume movable AC units which you can buy for under 200 euros).

Has anyone been watching handball? Pretty fast-paced. The players take quite a bit of abuse like rugby and no diving

That should be preserved for when an American boxer wins something. Preferably against Russia.

One of the best ever across all sports.
