The Phantom Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Looks like Snoop is winning the Olympics to be honest. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/snoop-dogg-olympics-simone-biles-michael-phelps-1235071071/getting-trolled-by-simones-mom-1235071089/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 The men’s pole vault final was a compelling watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Men's 1500 last night was a nail biter. The Brit was hoisted by his own petard for sure. He didn't see either of the Yanks coming. Women's skateboarding was also really good. The friendship and camaraderie versus the competiveness shown between the girls is inspiring and what the Olympic spirit should all be about. One of them put a single feather in her helmet for one of the runs, which I thought was a great metaphor for the grace and aggression of the sport. Oh and of course Snoop had a great day yesterday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyone Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Totally agree re the 1500 , so obsessed with each other not winning both forgot to win. The American ran a clever race but the Norwegian basically handed it to when he gave up inside lane to attempt to block the Jock who was not wise enough to see it coming and the American ran a fantastic tactical race. It’s all about nous in the 1500 and the American had plenty of it. Mens 400 was also quite a race. Watched the rhythmic gymnastics today - pretty astonishing the skill level. Didn’t see the skateboarding but I’ll try to catch some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I am just gutted that I only found out break dancing was an olympic sport and you don't really need to be that great at it and then finding out it's not going to be part of the 2028 games. Dreams are dashed. Maybe 1 day they will add sitting on your couch having a beer shouting at the tv while your football team disappoints you again as an Olympic sport haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
