[Ruby Roundhouse]

Holy f**k, Andrew Hoy is still around... Just won a silver in one of those horsey jumpy things at 62.

and now add Bronze to him for the individual jumping final.

With the downpour at the main stadium, the women’s discus looked more like ice skating, spinning in the concrete circle….

Meanwhile further to @SpaceMonkey ’s post, Hassan, after that fall then win earlier today in the stifling heat of the 1500…. Is now running in the final of the 5000…

And wins gold, mindblowing..

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 used to do a fair bit of rowing so I of course watched a lot of that.

Have been loving watching however the artistic gymnastics, the field events (things like pole vault, hammer throw and discus) and also the badminton. I was welling up watching that Danish fella win the badminton last night, he looked absolutely elated to have won it was awesome to see.

Terrible ride in the mens team sprint....not sure what went wrong but we were out of the running the second Glaetzer lost the wheel.

Got some bloke called Alistair Nicholson commentating the hockey. I’m not one to make unjust assumptions but anyone named Alistair is a total pussy.

This wall climbing shit is a real snoozefest.

 

[bileduct]

Australia beats the dirty Germans 3 - 1 in the men's field hockey to move into the gold medal playoff against Belgium, which should be a cracker game for the two top ranked teams.

 

[Bazal]

That was a brilliant game of hockey....

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

The only boomers I like

This wall climbing shit is a real snoozefest.

How is that even a sport let alone an olympic sport

It's pretty fun. Did it for fitness for a little while before my rotator cuff decided to emulate a grenade after 20 years of pace bowling....but yeah, weird Olympic effort. It's hardly riveting viewing?

My theory is, much like including bmx a few years ago and skateboarding, they are trying to attract young generations to the games.

Im not overly bothered about these. Personally I’m more annoyed than sports like football, basketball, tennis, and now golf, are Olympic sports…

Professional sports like these where players earn huge dollars just don’t have a place at the Olympics IMO.

Boomers are dismantling the Argies. Landale been big

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Again, women’s beach volleyball is fantastic.

 

[Bazal]

I've developed an adult crush on Taliqua Clancy....

Massive win.

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

1. Pattie Mills and the Boomers
2. Women’s beach volleyball
3. Women’s swimming
4. Aussie 100m sprinter
5. Opals
6. Kookaburras
7. Garside

This is what I’ve watched and has caught my focus. I haven’t watched a lot.

 

[Mr Angry]

I try to watch, then they put the ads on, I stream something else and watch the replays...

Cannot stand the Victorians.
