August 1, 20241 yr Someone should record the sound of these waves at Teahupoo and put them on an app....😜 Perfect for taking a nap. 😴
August 1, 20241 yr This Algerian boxer in the women’s division is going to be tough to beat. I wouldn’t fuck with him
August 2, 20241 yr 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.

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

August 2, 20241 yr Why did they stop doing Hoop it Up?Would I watch an Olympic Pop-a-Shot competition? Probably.Skee-ball, too.
August 2, 20241 yr 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 ????

August 2, 20241 yr 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.
August 2, 20241 yr They should have made this guy a racewalking judge because I’m seeing a lot of people lifting their feet off the ground.

August 2, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, ztejas said: Yes. Joke made. All jokes aside the lifting is very much ruining the integrity of the sport.

August 2, 20241 yr 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! 😆
August 2, 20241 yr Trampoline in a few short hours! set those alarm clocks for 5am Women's Qualification: 6 a.m. ET on Peacock and NBCOlympics.com Women's Final: 7:50 a.m. ET on USA Network, Peacock and NBCOlympics.com Men's Qualification: 12 p.m. ET on E!, Peacock and NBCOlympics.com Men's Final: 1:45 p.m. ET on USA Network, Peacock and NBCOlympics.com Edited August 2, 20241 yr by UTexasFight
August 2, 20241 yr 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 ????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
August 2, 20241 yr It's 130 am and I'm watching women's badminton. There is apparently a body type for world class badminton.
August 2, 20241 yr Haven't read this whole thread, but any other Surly degenerates here in Paris? Heading to Soccer quarterfinals today. The beach volleyball was something.
August 2, 20241 yr Not in Paris, but cooler selection on the Eurosport channels for sure. Watching women's judo on 7.
August 2, 20241 yr Agreeing with @Braff ZacklinTrampoline should not be an Olympic Sport. @Nicole44 Yeah I said it.
August 2, 20241 yr 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.
August 2, 20241 yr 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.

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.

August 2, 20241 yr What is the function of the tripod device that’s attached to the bows? Edited August 2, 20241 yr by TonyTexas

August 2, 20241 yr Dang that Chinese trampolinist…hope she is ok. They get so high up in the air. China fell apart on the finals.
August 2, 20241 yr Just now, InkaUtexas said: 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.
August 2, 20241 yr Author 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.
August 2, 20241 yr 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.
August 2, 20241 yr Author Great back and forth beach volleyball between Brazil and Netherlands right now.
