This dude kicks everyone's ass at fencing.

Well, naturally. He employs Bonetti's defense on rocky terrain, counters Capa Ferro with Thibault, and has even studied Agrippa.

And is ambidextrous. Plus he has this dude. Forget the Sicilian, he is like the USMNT coach.

This Algerian boxer in the women’s division is going to be tough to beat. 

I wouldn’t fuck with him

Medina vs Robinson, Vaast vs Correa in dude's surfing semi-finals.

I'm picking Medina and Vaast to advance with Medina taking gold.  I know fuck all about this other than Medina is the dude in the most badass sports pic of all time and Vaast surfs this particular wave every day.  That's got to count for something.

My best guess is they are trying to recapture some of the amazing viewership from the AND1 phenomenon, and this version is as close as they can get. 

Redbull's View and History of 3-3

Is it marketing PR stunts, a chance for non-college bound great players, or just silliness that caught on... maybe a litte of all 3.

But I'm not interested in watching it, at all.

Someone watched white men can't jump and thought this would be 50% more awesome

3 on 3 basketball is a lot like going on a site seeing trip in a landfill.  

Why did they stop doing Hoop it Up?

Would I watch an Olympic Pop-a-Shot competition? Probably.
Skee-ball, too.

BMX racing is fun

I’m sure this has been addressed so forgive me…

What happened to the classical Olympic Theme Music? The kettle drums….daaaaah daaaah da da da da dah dah da dah da da da da da daddaddaa

You mean the one that goes:

Thissssss
Isssssss
The Olym-pic so-ng
You always hear the music, but you never hear the words.  

 

I’m looking forward to the trampoline! We’ll track & field also. Probably not a ton of y’all watch rhythmic gymnastics but the choreography is pretty amazing. 

They should have made this guy a racewalking judge because I’m seeing a lot of people lifting their feet off the ground.

Yes. Joke made.

All jokes aside the lifting is very much ruining the integrity of the sport.

I agree. It's horseshit.

Thought people gave a shit about this kind of thing. 

i am absolutely loving the background setting for all these events, it's really just breathtaking...Les Invalides, Conciergerie, Le Grand Palais, La Tour Eiffel, Versailles...i mean gotdamn did they just do something absolutely incroyable in Paris! 

Snoop touring the Louvre is quintessentially American, love it! 😆

Trampoline in a few short hours!

 

set those alarm clocks for 5am

I asked that as well like on day 2. Usually there’s the drums and games of the xx Olympiad brought to you by McDonald’s proud sponsor of team USA going into every commercial

Seems like it’s totally been benched

It's 130 am and I'm watching women's badminton. There is apparently a body type for world class badminton. 

Haven't read this whole thread, but any other Surly degenerates here in Paris? Heading to Soccer quarterfinals today.

The beach volleyball was something. 

IMG_1162.jpeg

Not in Paris, but cooler selection on the Eurosport channels for sure. Watching women's judo on 7. 

And men's handball on the ocho. 

Finally saw clips of the race walking you guys been talking about... yeah not like one is cheating... couldn't find a single one who isn't cheating.

No reason this needs to continue to be an Olympic event going forward. It's either slow running or a messed up game of Red Light, Green Light with no judge.

It's basically evolved into jogging with a silly hip wiggle. And they are very very fast at it, at least compared to us common folk.

But it ain't walking.

Guessing they didn’t reach an agreement with whoever the composer is to renew the rights?

 

Thankfully, with nbc being part of the new NBA deal they were smart enough to pay ol John Tesh so we will be hearing this again!

Going to need special sensors on the shoes that add a +2 second penalty for each infraction.

Agreeing with @Braff ZacklinTrampoline should not be an Olympic Sport.

@Nicole44 Yeah I said it.

Like 60% of Olympic “sports” shouldn’t be sports. Much less in the Olympics 

Why do I enjoy the fringe sports so much? Mixed group archery is so enjoyable. 

What is the function of the tripod device that’s attached to the bows?

It’s certainly better than watching our soccer team getting their shit pushed in.

Counter balance to keep the bow straight? 

Track and Field starts today at 11am. We're entering the home stretch.

There’s already been a bunch going on, including W 100M heats and the decathlon. 

Dang that Chinese trampolinist…hope she is ok. They get so high up in the air. China fell apart on the finals. 

A Brazilian winning the gold in Judo makes sense.

Brits win gold in Team equestrian. US gets Silver.

That was clutch by the last British horse.  Had to go clean with no rails knocked down for the gold and did.  Deserves some extra sweet feed tonight.

Giant French guy just won the heavyweight judo. Gotta say, it's pretty cool when a French person wins something and the crowd just goes apeshit.

Great beach volleyball match going on between Brazil and Netherlands. Chick on Brazil has a tremendous dumper and they didnt waste a lot of money on  bikini materials.

Great back and forth beach volleyball between Brazil and Netherlands right now.
