2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It's brilliant. Even as a fan of skateboarding, I was sceptical how it would translate, but it's been great. I thought the 'street' events were a bit dull, as there's a lot of stopping and starting, but the 'park' event has been really good.
Netherlands up 2-0 against Spain in the hockey semi. Germany India later today
In Cardiff they're bitter at missing out on Durham
At the olympics?!
Well, that’s different gymnast than the one Chiles bumped down.
Did the Romanian coaches appeal the call? From the broadcast, it didn’t sound like they ever did.
The Dutch hockey teams unfazed by @KirkDuyt s willingness to sacrifice them all for a football title.
Meanwhile Patty Mills is destroying Serbia playing like an efficient prime Iverson.
Yep
Friday.
Not related with Olympics. Basketball is in top 3 sports in the world, volleyball and handball are also very popular sports. In all these sports huge money is involved so you would expect that one of the richest countries in the world with population of over 60 mil, would be interested to be involved. Especially when Britain is in Europe (Brexit ir no Brexit) where all those sports are among most popular ones.
Just other priorities with Cricket and Rugby historically being more relevant team sports for Britain.

3-0 now. All a bit one sided so far. Cracking goals though.
Doing a handstand on that 10m board, absolutely no way
I wouldn't even go on it never mind do that

That North Korean was decent. Impressive to be that focused on the sport when you're constantly thinking about how to defect.
WOW the Chinese know how to dive straight 10s
OK unless something goes catastrophically wrong, China are getting gold and silver in the diving
One of them just got 10 from every single judge

Breaking is great. Was totally shite at it though. Recall all the kids trying it in the 80s. Watched clips of the world championship and these guys are insane.

Do you think the Chinese divers look at everyone else and think "you're all total crap, how can you be so bad?". The level between them and the rest of the world is insane.
The Chinese divers are so much more petite than the others
Joke's on them, the better they do the more pleased the gods will be by my sacrifice.
Chinese Olympic athletes ‘don’t see their families for three years’ and ‘train 12 hours a day’

This is how we need to be with our players
Guess Netherlands just have the higher pedigree and Spain have done well to get so far
Can you imagine with the likes of Sancho etc
Awful way of treating them though especially as some of their athletes are so young
That was close to rearranging her face on the diving board
Fully expect it to kick off at the Serbia - Auzzies basket game any time now.
Both chinese girls in the final had a higher score after 4 dives than half the field at the end

I know nothing, yet the gap was obvious.
I just found out the british poshos are even comparatively crap at the posh sports like rowing and horse prancing. Dutch and Germans have been better! They're probably just crap at water polo as it's a sport with enough of a tradition in several countries(hungary, italy, spain, croatia and serbia, russia, usa, greece)
Why the feck do the Serbs take a time-out right after Australia's one when they only had one left? Baffling decision.
Mills does it, OT it is.

Yeah make the horses ride the posh bastards at the next olympics
You can find such footage if you know where to look.Yeah make the horses ride the posh bastards at the next olympics
Really tough interview to watch from Andrea, talking about not being upset but in tears and about how she didn't want to be alive 3 years ago. Bless her.
Poor Jokic, forced to play basketball while there's horse prancing going on just down the road!
Jokic does it, what a phenomenon.
