Sorry, not gonna get a rise here, I couldn't care less about the Olympics. It's sad because I used to love it, but now I can't be arsed, ESPECIALLY with the summer games. :dunno:

I confess that my interest has gradually wained over the years, but nothing approaching that level of cynicism yet :dunno:

The wokeness and pollicization of the US teams/athletes. It's supposed to be a matter of pride representing your country in the Olympics, but at least here in the States, that's not the case anymore. It's all about promoting your agenda and shitting on the country giving you the privilege and opportunity to play.

I can still remember the excitement of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Nothing like it. Actually, I think that was one of the best games ever in terms of pure joy for everyone. It's been slowly downhill since then and the media is not helping.

I have been turning on the TV and watching some of the actual sporting events in the evening.. Other than that I don't hang around for the politics..

Canada beat Japan in the 7's! Ouch for Japan getting knocked out early in their own Olympics but great to see for Canada. Such a great sport, very accessible for someone like me who doesn't normally follow rugby either. Much simpler game to follow than regular rugby.

I'm waiting for the wrestling to start. Supposedly on August 1st. We usually don't have a great showing compared to the rest of the world, and the coverage is lackluster at best, but it's still fun to watch when I can catch it. I watch NCAA dual meets and tournaments as well.

[The Monk]

The media in its many forms these days does very little to enhance anything positive.

In typical fashion, our wrestling squad isn't performing very well. Maybe Kyle Dake will redeem everybody.

I blame our country. Cuba, Iran, Russia, and Turkey all have fantastic wrestling teams year after year. With our resources and the population, we should be dominating that sport on the world stage. But our country doesn't cultivate it like they do other sports, and it's a damn shame and a sin.

also, not watched a single event and i was pretty hyped before it started

[DemonGeminiX]

David Taylor is a beast. He beat his first 3 matches all by tech fall (greater than 10 points of his opponent's score). He finished the semifinal match vs India's Punia (#2 seed) before the first period was over.

[DemonGeminiX]

Wow, Kyle Dake got owned in the quarterfinals. He looks seriously out of shape.

Pretty stoked De Grasse won the 200m gold. Cocky bugger, but he worked hard for it.


Watching triple jump tonight.. such a bizarre one to me, who dreamed this up and why.

[Godfather]

This Canadian dude leading the decathlon ran the 100m in 10.2, and a 8.21m in long jump (gold was 8.41, he would've got bronze in the solo event with those results). His 110m hurdle time was 13.46, while in the solo event gold was 13.04..... these are the real true athletes IMO. Unreal how they can do it all.

Multiple athletes from the Australia's Olympic team are facing discipline for their behavior on a return flight from the Tokyo Olympics. According to a report by 7News, members of Australia's rugby and soccer teams instigated a state of unruliness on a 10-hour flight back home to Sydney from Tokyo, which included a number of transgressions stemming from alleged excessive alcohol consumption.

According to the Australian Olympic team chef de mission Ian Chesterman, players were loud and disruptive to other passengers on the plane, failed to respond to requests made by flight attendants and also rendered the plane's toilet unusable after a member of the soccer team allegedly vomited in it.

The athletes also allegedly raided the flight's supply of alcohol, which was located in a galley.

While Japan Airlines did not file a formal complaint, the airline did bring the athletes' behavior to the attention of the Australian Olympic Committee.

"There were other Australians returning on that flight ... it's not the standard the Australian Olympic Committee expects and not the standard the sports expect too," Australian Olympic Committee chief executive Matt Carroll said.

While team officials do not yet know specifics of which players were involved, discipline for any players involved will ultimately be determined by Rugby Australia and Football Australia. A total of 49 athletes from nine different sports were on the flight.

News of the inebriated escapades of certain players was accompanied by news of the state of Olympic Village rooms vacated by members of the Australian rugby and rowing teams. Some rooms were allegedly left in "unacceptable" condition, including one room which had a hole in the wall.

Those involved in the hole in the wall incident allegedly apologized, and will not be disciplined. According to Vice News, the wall in question was described as "flimsy" and "temporary".
