Not to be that guy, but there are more attractive women competing than I can remember, and I can remember the 1980 games.

Meet the 36-year-old Aussie college professor who lit up breaking at the Paris Olympics (and didn’t score a point)

Rachael Gunn, or B-girl Raygun, became an internet sensation for her look and her performance in the breaking competition on Friday.

She's my favorite Olympian.

I hope they remove this immediately, come on, rather insert Padel then.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

I mean she scored 0 points. The top performers were doing incredible stuff.

 

[Jack Straw]

I hope they remove this immediately, come on, rather insert Padel then.

It was actually scrapped for 2028 before the Paris games even started.

Brazil wins women's beach volleyball. Canada was SO CLOSE!!

As soon as they lost the 1st set I knew it was going to be a tough battle. They fought hard and won the 2nd set, but then kind of got just abit sloppy in the 3rd and the Brazilians found their game and kept hitting shot after shot. Silver is still good, but damn the gold was right there for them.

Hats off to them for a great couple of weeks though. Beat a great Swiss and an American team to get to the gold final so great work by them!

It got little heated there in the end but they worked things out and the arena DJ's pick of playing John Lennon's "Imagine" brought a smile from everyone.

Happy for Imane Khelif. I don't think I've ever rooted for an athlete this much just like 7 days after first hearing about them.

Paris Olympics: It's wild ... it's weird ... it's the modern pentathlon and it's everything the Olympics ought to be

The modern pentathlon has its own hypothetical backstory: Imagine a soldier trapped behind enemy lines. What would that soldier need to know and do to escape?

sports.yahoo.com

It's my favorite event. Next Olympics the horses are being replaced with an American Ninja Warrior type event.
