OT: Paris Olympics 2024 - Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade Thread

[the valiant effort]

Breakdancing, 3on3 basketball, what an abomination. Whatever happened to the real Olympic feats of strength, like buff naked dudes wrestling each other?

Yeah... some events make me scratch my head... 3on3 basketball sounds like a sport for someone who never made it in traditional basketball.

 

[The Real Timo]

So they accepted the appeal from Kenya in 5K? That means that the italian girl who was crying from joy of getting bronze now has to give it back. What a shitshow.

Greco-roman wrestling is still at the Olympics. The tournament(s) started today I think.

Gotta get it right.. though I do agree that any "review" that bumps someone off the podium (error due to judging) should be a shared bronze. In this case, the silver medalist reinstated (after dq).
One girl drops from Silver to Bronze.. Bronze stays shared. Imo.
Id venture a guess 9/10 athletes would sign the form prior to any race in agreeance.

But Nothing comes close to the Steve Harvey snafu at ms universe.

Great job Caeli
Great dives
Hope it's enough for a bronze

Noooooo 4th

Not a good start for Team Canada in the basketball game..

Hopefully Edey develops into a solid player. Olynyk is truly awful

 

[Redux91]

The refs are clearly leaning towards a certain team here....
Unreal

Murray was bad all tournament. He was also bad in the playoffs for the Nuggets. I wonder if he’s nursing an injury and didn’t want to miss the Olympics.

 

[Rapala]

Timo must be disappointed his German cutie is getting no camera time by doing jack all.

 

[LaP]

I wonder how many incels will be spamming Facebook tomorrow about how those ladies in the hammer throw don't look like top models
