When not near a large screen and just wanna keep up with event results, I'm using "The Score" app. Same one a lot of use for college sports, soccer, etc. It takes a few minutes to customize the results, like you can dismiss events you don't care about, set timezone not in Paris, medal table, etc. It's not perfect, but better than the NBC one. You can still click randomly on certain events if you wanna deep-dive, athlete profiles. But if you set it up right, you can just glean the latest medley results and hoops scores in seconds. And no ads so long as you don't click on the extended-play videos which you can wait to do until you get home.
July 29, 20241 yr Strutting his stuff. Getting that cap. I don’t know why but his facial expressions in the pool crack me the fuck up.

July 29, 20241 yr The Snoop highlights recap with Tirico is fucking great Snoop is a fucking American treasure.
July 29, 20241 yr “Swimming is a sport with only a few rules. No running on the deck. No diving in the shallow end. And definitely no peeing in the pool. But here’s one of the dirtiest secrets of the Olympic Games: Everyone pees in the pool.” https://www.wsj.com/sports/olympics/swimming-paris-games-pool-780dd98f?mod=Searchresults_pos11&page=1

July 29, 20241 yr Rafa off to an awful start vs. Djokovic. Probably the best thing to watch this morning.
July 29, 20241 yr Great men’s MTB race. Last lap was awesome. Nice finish for Amos from US in his first race against the big boys.
July 29, 20241 yr Hinckle and her glorious behind advanced to the third round in the women's surfing. Not to be outdone, the Israeli surfer Lelior in the next heat rocks a thong bikini bottom. Still trying to figure some of this shit out; but the most annoying part of surfing is they will ride a wave for about three seconds then it takes the judges 5-6 minutes to put up a score. Why?
July 29, 20241 yr I guess no plan B for the Triathlon? it’s not like the Seine snuck up on them. Still too dirty to swim in. Their mayor is going to wind up glowing in the dark at some point when she got in there to prove it was ok. It still measures daily in fecal bacteria E. Cool cool cool. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2024/07/28/paris-olympics-cancels-triathlon-swim-practice-seine/74577627007/

July 29, 20241 yr I had to swim in town lake once to try to catch a duck. That’s not very easy to do.
July 29, 20241 yr US women's volleyball lost to China in 5 games. i'm not used to my volleyball teams losing. (shit, just saw the separate volleyball thread) Edited July 29, 20241 yr by Jive Turkey

The judges are on a platform on the coral. They take the time to review the surfer on the on the various videos taken. There is a lot to how the surfer took the wave, breaking, how long in the tunnel, and small nuances they take into account. To get the videos complied, get them to the judges the process it, takes a minute. It's not unlike gymnastics.

July 29, 20241 yr Dammit John John is the last man standing. Guess if it had to be one, he'd be the pick anyway.
July 29, 20241 yr Yeah google code red swell on 2011. It happened right there. The photos are nightmarish. The heaviest lip I’ve ever seen down right death defying Edited July 29, 20241 yr by Sgt Hulk

July 29, 20241 yr And for those that don't know, Medina is a jackass. (Edit - but he's really fucking great at surfing) I know the announcers have talked about it, but they aren't exaggerating the danger of this wave at all. My kook ass knows surfers 10x better than I ever hoped to be who would not even surf it. It's that fucking narly. And when it goes code red, there aren't a lot of pro-surfers that can handle it. Edited July 29, 20241 yr by BurntEyes
July 29, 20241 yr Team Japan looks like every mid-major in March who just hits 3s all day long, which keeps it close when the bigger team is outrebounding them big time.

I tend to shy away from most reef breaks. But this one being 2-3 feet of water is insane. I surfed some nice reef breaks in PR. But these days I’m more long boarding slow and chill
