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

[ellja3]

Brazil couldn't miss from long range in the first half. I think it was like 9 for 11. Lead just got too high, sorry for ya'll.

Who the F*** scores 54% from 3pt line... We f***ed such a great chance... At least the gin tonics @ Arena were good..

I guess I should have realized it when it was listed as an event, but Olympic surfing is taking place pretty far away from Paris.

Australian Rules Football needs to be an Olympic sport...such a great chaotic game lol

It is part of French Polynesia though.

The best referee sign ever.

Out of touch on the Tour De France, but it will not finish in Paris for the first time, due to Olympic preps. I would have thought there was still enough time.

Only if they add Finnish Baseball, too.

I totally need to watch that

My buddy’s son is competing in Speed Climbing, so you’re all legally obligated to root for him. Thank you kindly.

I didn't pay attention enough, but near the end the guy says something like hitting the ball really far isn't good. Is there a reason for that? If it goes over a fence are you penalized?

I have no idea. I've watched that video about 4-5 times and still don't understand most of it.

I totally need to watch that

But also this. I could totally see myself watching a game of that live, drunk out of my mind, not understanding a thing, and having the time of my f***ing life.

 

[trostol]

Man..that game is more difficult to understand than cricket

Where is Olympic hurling

 

[Mkoll]

Where is Olympic hurling

i believe that happens immediately after the marathon race is over.

How the F do they decide whether it "was at least one meter high throw" instead of just 99 cm? This sport will need VAR!

I’m still confused after watching that

I like the idea of zig zaggy way to consecutive bases but thats just about the only thing I understood there.

Have ran a marathon and several all-out half-marathons, can confirm.

Men's ITT cycling should be exciting today... maybe 6-7 guys who could win and the weather sucking makes it more unpredictable.

Not so often go into a cycling TT, or tbh any other individual sport at the Olympics that mainly measures speed, and have more than 3-4 people with a shot at gold.

2021: 1:01 to 2nd, 1:04 to 3rd
2016: 0:47 to 2nd, 1:02 to 3rd
2012: 0:42 to 2nd, 1:08 to 3rd
2008: 0:33 to 2nd, 1:10 to 3rd

Should be the closest one since 2004

 

[Appleyard]

Taylor Knibb has crashed like 4x in 15km ahaha. And her mechanic also crashed without even riding a bike.

God damn Triathletes trying to ride a bike lmao.

Like, this is incredible:



Just wait for the end ahahaha.

 

[Appleyard]

Americans have now accounted for like half the crashes in this womens ITT... Knibb with ~3-4 crashes and now Dygert with one.

Annnd later on pretty sure Magnus Sheffield will crash ahaha. Good odds for that.

But then again Americans do, stereotypically, loooove tarmac aha.
