Tokyo awarded 2020 Olympics

[bileduct]

I missed the 4x200. Was it an epic choke job or just out swan?

Titmus swam the first leg and was well under her own PB. The race was lost there.

 

[horrie hastings]

Jess Fox wow amazing.

 

[Perth Tiger]

That was such a gutsy paddle by Jess Fox after what happened in the K1 as the Pom set a very good time to beat.

best gold of the games for me so far

 

[Munky]

The final thirty seconds of Jess Fox's run is the most tense I've ever been watching sport.

Margin for error is so small.

Jess Fox you champion, her old man did well commentating.

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Andy Maher and Andrew Gaze are poison!!

While we are overwhelmingly stronger in Swimming...

I've always felt that the Olympics "really" starts when the Athletics kicks off.... here we go..

Question for the folks in here...

Is there any olympic sport that you'd never otherwise watch that you've been watching a lot of?

Mine is Volleyball...

For me, it's always full of action.... always fast-paced... and the thing that sticks out to me is the energy of the players after winning a point.

Been following it closely - was up late watching USA vs Poland last night in the Womens...

I've been really enjoying the volleyball this year as well.

Normally I get right into the water polo when I wouldn't give it a second glance but haven't been able to watch any this time around.

The womens skateboarding was hilariously bad, but i could not turn away. One of the competitors had not yet mastered how to stand on a skateboard.

I thought Bruce Mcaveny died years ago, was a shock to see him there, unless hes a hologram complete with a recording of every sport cliche known to man. .

I've been watching a lot of field hockey that I wouldn't ordinarily watch. Field hockey and track & field were my main sports growing up, but I will usually only watch them when the Olympics are on.

I tried to watch a bit of Judo the other night... terrible viewing. Skateboarding was boring as shit too. I'll flick between streams so that something is always on even if I am not paying much attention to it, but there's a lot of sports that I don't bother with.

Andy Maher and Andrew Gaze are poison!!

Is that that "late show" I stumbled across one night?

I knew Gaze of course but no idea who the other bloke was.

For the 5 minutes I watched... I've had spews that are funnier than that show...

Surely, surely a tap on the shoulder to Roy & HG would have been the way to go...

I tried watching Taekwondo the other night.... never watched before. I gave it a while... trying to get into it but just couldnt..

It looked like two kids in oversized padding trying to kick each other in the bum... I just couldnt get my head around it.

Yeah I was like that with Judo... Couldn't understand what the f**k was going on, all I knew is that it was terribly anti-climactic because it got to a next point wins scenario and one chick lost because she was penalised for dropping to the ground without her opponents hands on her... or something. Would not recommend.

A curious observation from me...

Watching the athletics, and the Womens' 100m heats. What you see is women finishing their heats, the camera's zoom on the finishers as they mill around etc...

But the cameramen are always trying to film "from the waist up", especially from behind.... And when theres the odd shot of a womens backside in frame, the director changes to a new camera pretty quickly...

Unlike the womens beach volleyball.....

Women's track and field is camel toe mania...

I love it.

 

[axl rose]

Curious indeed, ill keep an eye on it and get back to you. A sport that deserves far more respect.

 

[wittyfan]

NZ surging up the medal tally!!!

Yup...

Used to watch a lot of the diamond league athletics on the Eurosport channel. I genuinely love watching athletics - but so many gorgeous women and ... yes all of that too..
