Is it unpatriotic to say I don’t really care at all about an Olympic medal for Rugby 7s ? Suppose they are opening up the Olympics for all sorts these days, but it doesn’t feel Olympic for me. I love cricket as well but will feel the same with that at the 2028 Olympics

We're supposed to win our medals sitting down, it's the NZ way.

The mens team were so awful in the one game I watched (which they won) that I'm glad I don't care for 7s. But in all honesty I don't really care about the Olympics, we have the TV's at work to channel 9 so I'm seeing more of this years version but I usually only watch the 100m.

May as well turn this into an Olympics thread

'Sweet Caroline' is at the Olympics too. Is it getting thrashed to death?

On another note the Aussie coverage is murder, as discussed. It's always at its worst in the first week, during the swimming. They've always done it but the commentators refer to the Aussie competitors by their first names. Like they're our friends or family.
