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

[84 Baby]

f**k me diving is corrupt. French were completely in sync get 7s. Teams after them are obviously hitting water at different times/jumping higher or lower, they get 8s and 9s

The Ukraines just outscored them and the were almost spinning head to foot and one hit water like a metre before the other one…

 

[84 Baby]

That said the Chinese team leading is going to be the easiest gold to award.

Jess Fox - Incredible - GOAT Australian Olympian
Kyle Chalmers - Gave it his all
Matildas - Yuck probably a decent reality check after the world cup last year where expectations have risen so much but probably don't meet the reality of where this team is actually at.

Coach will pay the price.

Has the hype & pats on the back given the players a false sense of reality.

Interesting few years anyway for them once Sam Kerr comes back things will help forward of the ball.

Fixing up the defence is another one it was atrocious letting Zambia kick 5 goals is inexcusable.

 

[Gronk]

Poor USA blaming a "slow pool" for their lack of medals.

The merkin who beat Kyle Chalmers swam a WR.

I am sorry I can't really get behind sports that you need a score to win

Boxing maybe as you can clearly see one person better.

Boxing is also corrupt

But in diving, don't they cut the highest and lowest scores to avoid allegations of bias.

Disagree with boxing being clear.
Anyway it was very clear the Chinese team were miles better than everyone else. They could’ve cannonballed their last dive and still won

They do. But the score on that French dive was ridiculous for synchronicity. I’ve got no idea on the technical side but I can tell when two things look more synchronous than another two things

Cannonballs and horseys should be a category.

in America, yes

not so much the Olympics as they have 5 judges all from different countries,

Jeff Fenech might disagree

they are doing shit in the medal count so they have come up with a new solution, they count all the medals which puts them on top, as they have 25 Bronze, not sure if you've seen it on social media

they also congratulated 2 American swimmers who came second and third to Kaylee McKewan, as they won 2 medals and we only won one but according to them they "won" the event

they should like the English cricket team with their moral victories

[Twizzle]

this is what its all about

 

[84 Baby]

Love me some motherf**ken race walking!

I've been in 10k or 21k events and those mofos walk past me and I'm running !

I suggested a least synchronised dive round.

And Roy Jones Jnr

The only good thing to come out of France is the Baguette and Linda Evangelista.
f**k France

You forget Zinedine Zidane, the avatar of elegance in football.
