And Rafa is done. Is that retirement for him now?

I'd like to see Alcaraz beat Djokovic for the gold.

Another medal for Oz.
Silver in the horsey show jumping thingy.

FFS. Im joking about the blue dude with the beard, and his little nutbag pouch.

You lot are all a bit highly strung atm

I wasn’t having a go at you. I was talking how unfortunate it is that misinformation like that was allowed to propagate on social media.

 

[Avenger]

I thought you were smarter than being influenced to perceive things in that way. You've been shown by several how the "controversy" is a misinterpretation, but each to their own I guess.

Another one telling me how to perceive things. No chance it’s the last supper. I must be just stupid.

 

[Avenger]

How so? People have been getting their knickers in a knot for no reason.

How was it offensive exactly? If anything it was a 2-second artistic posed transition shot for camera, slightly reminiscent of a painting completed 1500 years after the supposed event it depicts. (Spoiler alert, historical Jesus wasn't as white as he looks in Da Vinci's painting anyway...)

Why is your brand of Christianity seem as us-against-them as the other major world religion that you want to point the finger at?

Or maybe easily offended snowflakes should stop clutching their pearls before over-reacting in the heat of a moment. Just my opinion...

I shake my head. Just leave it.

Gold and silver, well done girls. No spoiler, watch the replay. So proud, beautiful Aussie women.

I watched the replay of USA v Serbia basketball. This is what the Olympics is about, the best of the best.

Not about who’s Daddy can afford the best horse.

How good. We don't get to see much AEST.

If you watch something live via the 9Now app, do you avoid the ads that you get on Ch9 ?

And being a great horse person has nothing to do with it??? Sure having a good horse helps but you have to know what you are doing.

Except Yanks left arguably their best player on the bench

Madi Levi. Can we trade Sivo for her. Love Jess Fox but Madi in the 7s is my favourite. Wow! What a player.

Are you saying the rider can't have a little nap, outrageous!

would love the 2 Levis at the Eels NRLW, probably need quite a few TPAs for that to happen

amazingly talented girls and looking good for the gold

Rider actually

the wife did equestrian for ages a while back, you need a very very good horse but you also have to practice for about 5 days a week, hours at a time and it is all about having a very good understanding with your horse

f**king expensive sport too, the horse is only half of the cost, you have to get a gazillion dollar saddle, the right gear/clothing, safety helmets, horse accommodation, grooming, vet bills, horse food and it goes on and on

glad she gave it up

Gun rider = Great horseman. In 2024 = Horseperson.

The hours spent in training a horse to do all that shit would be endless.

First time looking at this thread right now. Exceeded my expectations. 13/10 will come back for another read.
