OT: Paris 2024 Summer Olympics: Games of the XXXIII Olympiad

[Jack Straw]

Holy shit. What a f**king 1500. Wowza.

 

[Cody Webster]

Hocker upsets the favorites in the 1500M and wins gold with an Olympic Record!

First time in 112 years the US has won multiple medals in the 1500M

 

[DancingPanther]

Amazing 1500 wtf

 

[Flybynite]

Damn Steeplechase looks like segregation lol

The group of white runners are all in the back, while the group of non-white runners are all out in the front.

*edit* Man the winner (Yavi from Bahrain) is probably the only one who finished the race and didn't look like they needed oxygen and an IV.

 

[DancingPanther]

The steeplechase is kind of funny, it's 3000m of running with a few random horse jumps in there lol

 

[Jack Straw]

Gabby Thomas dominates the 200 m field.

Smoked em. Wasn't ever close. 75m in when I saw she was still with Alfred I knew the whole field was toast

I tell ya, the last thing I want to do on a hard run is also jump over shit.

Better than stepping in it though.

Man, Steeplechase is the most unintentionally funny Olympic sport

I had a great time watching that.

“You know what we should do? Put an inexplicable water jump in a track & field race!”

Gabby Thomas is a f***ing goddess. I bow to her.

I cannot believe that nonsense exists lol

She can write her own ticket now. You would have a hard time inventing a more marketable star.

 

[Jack Straw]

US women with Dygert and Faulkner beat the reigning world champion Brits in the 4000m team pursuit to advance to the gold medal race.

You wanna talk about winning all your character rolls.

Fastest sprinter at her distance in the world.
Extremely smart with a Neurobiology degree from Harvard and a Masters in Epidemiology from Texas
Also very attractive.

Like damn.

I'd say so...

 

[Cody Webster]

Crazy finish in this handball game against France and Germany. France was up 1 with six second lefts and the ball. Germany forces a turn over and gets a buzzer beater to force OT

 

[Rebels57]

I'd say so...

She's like a comic book character

It’s my new favorite sport.



“If horse jumps and water jumps are fun for horses, they’ve gotta be fun for humans too.”

And she's one of those "do-gooders", volunteers at a health care clinic.

I watched the final two laps of one of the heats to figure out where the water actually is on the track. I thought it was just like on the inside lanes and they put a cover over it for the regular races. It was on the final lap that I realized they actually cut off part of the turn to move off the normal track to get to the water.

Dumb.

I mean she's more than a volunteer. She said she wants to open her own clinic so she's probably logging "intern" hours. Pretty typical in the healthcare realm

Her mother wants her to get her PhD once she's finished with this sports nonsense. (actually her mom was one of the first people to encourage her to run)

These volleyball matches are exhausting to watch, in a good way. USA just won the 2nd set against Poland so now it's 1-1.

 

[Cody Webster]

US Figure Skating team just received their gold medals from the 2022 winter games. Guess some skaters from Russia got caught doping, or I am assuming they did, and they moved down to third, bumping the US to gold and Japan to silver
