Olympics 2021

[LineSkiCat14]

Thread to talk about the Olympics.. lets try not to derail it, although I'm sure we will.

.. but seriously.. How TF does China beat us in Air Rifle? We couldn't have plucked some guys from the hills for this event?

Wondering to myself why they bothered having the Olympic teams parade into the stadium, excitedly waving to empty stands. Also wondering why I spent two hours last night watching it.

And as a fan of equal opportunity for all individuals, I look forward to the female athletes getting equal time walking in shirtless and covered in oil from the waist up, and the on-air personalities' positive comments about it.

Woke up to Alex Morgan on my TV screen. That’s a positive.

So the US men did not make the 3x3 basketball competition. HowTF does that happen?

The team had Robbie Hummel on it for one

 

[funKYcat75]

Sidney, Billy Ho, Flight, and Willie would not have let that happen.

Annnndddd.. he just tore his ACL.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Interesting. Go Cats!

What are thoughts on the opening ceremony?

I thought the emoji thing was kinda cool and made me laugh. I’ve also enjoyed the drones the last few times. I think drone shows will get more and more elaborate going forward.

I saw somebody tap dancing. I then changed the channel.

I’m waiting to watch the rowing when the typhoon hits Japan now that’s gonna be the best event to watch

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Japan's best swimmer, or one of, just got eliminated. And he was a favorite in that style.

Bruh.. if you get eliminated in Olympic swimming before the first 24 hour mark? You ain't that good.

 

[jtrue28]

They’re doing video game car racing this year. I tried out, but fairly certain I was not fast enough.

Seemed pretty similar to all the other ones I’ve ever watched but wasn’t paying very close attention.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Hahaha that Japanese gymnast who was supposedly the men's "Simone Biles" just ate face lolololol

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Yakuza will take care of that

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Greatest gymnast of all time my ***..

Greatest gymnast of all time my ***..

lol yeah I laughed after they talk him up and as she's midsentance saying "you can't win today, you just have to make sure you don't do something to lose" dude hits the mat.

Rings routine in men's gymnastics is one of the most impressive athletic feats you'll see. Just remarkable strength required.

Plus I figured we were there to fight Charlie

 

[WildcatFan1982]

why is this not in the Olympics yet?

Why is 3 on 3 even in the Olympics. I’m trying to think of other Olympic sports that the only other time they are played is in the neighbors driveway.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

when is this going to happen?

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Men’s volleyball is crazy fast and powerful. USA up two sets to none over France on NBCSN.

I remember the dude with tree tattoo from the last Olympics.

2 thoughts so far:
If I tried 3x3 basketball, I'd have a heart attack in about 2 minutes. I've watched some before but this is super quick.

Watching women's beach volleyball. I've tucked dollar bills into more modest bottoms than they're wearing.

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

Caitlyn Jenner in 10 inch heels could still out run these weak *** kids.

 

[funKYcat75]

Michael Phelps as a swimming analyst. Poor guy can hardly talk.

1-2 US finish in 400 IM. That’ll do. What a grueling race. I did it once (100 IM) in a little ****** 25m pool back in the days of neighborhood swim teams. I’m still out of breath.

Seriously. The best I've ever done in a session was 1200m.. and legitimately, the last 1000m felt like drowning.. I can't even imagine trying to race more than the 50m.

 

[rick64]

US 3rd in the men’s 400m freestyle final.

 

[rick64]

Ok, WTH is with the stupid horn sounds during the swimming heats??!! Very annoying.

Let's gooooo US Skateboard

Olympic swimmers are amazing. The amount of mileage they do daily is staggering. Then when you think about the monotony of it, I don’t know how they do it. At least with running you get a view. Truly dedicated athletes

Rahm tested positive again. He's out

 

[chroix]

I can’t imagine cities wanting the games after this. No tourists to offset the expense is brutal. I know some will but I think they just hold the summer in Athens every time. Make winter a permanent location in Switzerland and call it good.

 

[rick64]

I think both Reed and DeChambeau are jerks.

Mostly agree. What’s sad is many of these sporting venues don’t get used after the games are over, become decrepit and then become eyesores, eventually requiring more money to tear down.

The 94 Winter games in Norway were awesome. I remember thousands of fans cheering for cross-country skiing! I would suggest Norway as an alternate permanent site for the winter games but Switzerland is also a good choice.

We are a rifle school. Go Big Blue!

 

[AustinTXCat]

We are a fencing school. Go Cats!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Why TF do we have a brit reporting on the American Olympic results? We couldn't have found.. I don't know.. someone American?

 

[STL_Cat]

This Australia - Nigeria game is good for a Sunday nap.
