Will she demand to speak to the manager otherwise?
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
So looks like China will beat the US in the table?
Women’s football final has been great so far
Both USA and Brazil looking dangerous & taking risks

I wouldn't call it great myself, it can't hold my interest for long but sure, it requires skill. I can appreciate it more than shooting which also requires skill but really is not a sport and shouldn't be in the Olympics.
To be honest, I get the most bored of sports like basketball where they allow professional athletes and the sport is mostly played in one country with some stars from a handful of others so its a real joke compared to when all the same athletes play in the NBA. Basketball would be way better if it was truly amateurs and didn't allow any NBA players.
Anyway breaking is awesome. It should have been picked up for the Los Angeles Olympics especially because there has always been a huge bboy/bgirl community here.

BBC coverage has been almost nothing but indoor cycling the last few days. Definitely up there with Dressage as my least favourite events so far.
Koanda! Olympic record! 
Offsides?
It was one-sided.
That was amazing by the Iranian. His style is very unique, too. That change of pace he has to go from basically not moving to 100% is impressive.
So this guy two years ago was in this form in the WC - nobody stood a chance. He had a terrible 2023. Should be a cracking final!
He was also feinting with his right hand several sequences before actually shooting. The Hungarian didn't know what to do.
GB got the silver in the men’s madison at the last Olympics and the last world championships, but they just seem to be also-rans in this race so far. They’re going to need to take a lap at some point but they don’t seem to have been bothered so far
Madison is such a fun discipline to watch. Can't believe they don't crash into each other with higher frequency.
Yes. You could tell he was totally out of ideas.
Never! We are the champions!!!!!
Super Saturday is still on. Jakob better not feck it up this time
Snyder is too timid here.
Carnage in the men’s Maddison
If he wrestles like that, I’m feeling good about him winning it.
Meanwhile, our former Olympic champ is giving up a takedown because he’s reaching with his lead hand like a junior varsity kid
Now GB have lost a lap, so it’s all over for them. All pretty pointless really
That Dutch rider just polax’d one of them that’s while.
I don’t understand what the GB strategy was in this race (pre-crash). They didn’t seem to be going for anything.
There does not need to be this much indoor cycling.
This madison is gonna give me a heart attack
GB lost their best guy before the race so I think they knew they had no chance
Help me Kennedy, you’re our only hope
I can only think the strategy was to wait for everyone else to crash, which might have worked if they didn’t crash themselves. But yeah, I don’t see the point in not even attempting to attack and just picking up 1 or 2 points every few sprints. If you’re not going to get on the podium, does it really matter if you finish 10th or last?
Gold for portugal, silver italy, bronze denmark
Feck!
Feck!
Would you not still try and execute a plan? It didn’t even look like we were trying to either win the sprints or take a lap
You don't have to watch it.
Insane race. I don't know how the officials keep track
Yup. The only problem with swimming and cycling is there is not enough of it
She means business.
Technically not but I don't get to pick what the BBC shows and my current alternative is football (which should not be an olympic sport at all).
Italian commentary didn't even try by the endInsane race. I don't know how the officials keep track
I don't know how the dutch wasn't immediately arrested on the track either
Yeah that was unfortunate really. Watching Blades now - hope she can do it
I'm not fully into the rules and regulations of this, but that looked like a reason for immediate dismissal from the race. He wasn't even under pressure or anything - just barged him.Italian commentary didn't even try by the end
I don't know how the dutch wasn't immediately arrested on the track either
US Women defeat Brazil!
