OT: Games of the XXXIII Olympiad - Paris 2024 - 26/7 to 11/8

No more sports where you are not first across the line ffs.

Dancing isn't an Olympic sport.
Same with Surfing or bloody scoreboarding

I would say gymnastics and diving a very entrenched Olympic sports. Equestrian too. Boxing as well. Olympics wouldn’t be the same without them

And f**king wrestling. Although they need more suplexes and splashes from the top rope

No more new sports where you need to score points or Golf!

Right new sports. Agreed or at least they need more thought.
Golf is fine but I think it needs to be amateur level

How sick does the LA diving venue look

Two of my favourite moments of the games were Saya Sakakibara winning gold and the Fox Sisters winning golds in the canoe events.

I think mine was Saya Sakakibara and the little dynamo Arisa Trew.

I wonder what the plan is with all the homeless people

In Sydney they rounded all the aboriginals up around the city and sent them out of the city. They used it to basically clean up Refern. Pretty ordinary form really

Re: the break dancing lady, the background story apparently is this:

* DanceSports Australia was part of an international group that were trying to get ballroom dancing into the Olympics.
* They were entrenched in the negotiations and the AU reps were a significant part of that process.
* Eventually the IOC said they wanted a sport that appealed to the youth. Other countries clicked into gear when breakdancing was selected. Their breakdancers associations started selection trials.
* Australia however did not actually have a formal association and it appears that the DanceSport ballroom dancing mob had a problem with “letting go”.
* So they formed an association around a group of Sydney merkins who hold a small annual thing.
* Somehow our female representative ended up to be a 36 year old person who has a PHD in something related.
* Apparently there was no state then national trials, most of the recognised street dancers did not even know it was on.

Aussie dance leader goes rogue and turns on Raygun

Internal ‘cracks’ have suddenly appeared in Australia’s breaking community, and questions are being asked.

Have to agree a bit. Raygun as funny as it was has made a joke out of break dancing now.

 

[the phantom menace]

Those cracks will widen if Raygun parlays her Olympics appearance into ongoing high profile paid/guest roles in media, as it appears possibly something that she is angling for or will be offered.
