The men teams final has just finished, and Korea won again. They were just amazing. Incredible how Koreans do great in sports that require huge concentration.
Turkiye was excellent in archery. I never expected them to be good in this sport, but they won the bronze and they almost made it to the final. Congrats @Turk_Bianconero

And the shooting medal table is basically this attached file below:



Americans explain yourselves @Enron @Bjerknes @Hust @KB824 @.zero @AFL_ITALIA , how are yall obsessed with guns 24/7 and still amount to zero medals at shooting in Olympics? Storm trooper aim. Let down the entire muricah bloodline.

Opening fire on hundreds of bunched together school kids with an AR-15 does not require much precision.

I love how all the Christians are so butthurt over the ceremony. By the way that ceremony was waaaaaaay more real that the “Last Supper” garbage that never, ever happened.
Nah, it's just a distasteful bully behavior toward the lowest hanging fruit that all in all, have nothing to do with sports at all, as well as hypocritical when you're supposed to promote sportsmanship, equality and diversity during the event.

And I bet they wouldn't dare to do so against Islam and muslims.

The homo mafia will claim every cool historical figure as one of their own. If you literally had a close friend, they will extrapolate that to mean you were gay. Gays only understand relationships in the prism of sex.
I wouldn't phrase it that way, but you are correct in saying that all sorts of interests groups often try to claim historical figures as one of their own without much evidence.

In this particular case court records do show that Da Vinci was charged with sodomy regarding a male prostitute. Charges were later dismissed, but one of the codefendants was related to the de Medici family and it is suggested there was some undue influence. Of course this is not evidence that he was in fact homosexual, but it's not entirely made up either.

What does any opening ceremony have to do with sports, though? They're usually an homage to the history and culture of the host city or nation.

And that Islam argument is just woke posturing for the Oppression Olympics.

I'm pretty convinced da Vinci was into da Gays. But you're correct in that I never understood how a lot of the social groups that gays affiliate with have a lot centered around whom they have sex with, even if the social group is nobody they'd have sex with.

I never understood that. It's as if saying "All four of us like the taste of male ass, so let's form a bridge club." :janna:

If someone gay can explain it to me, I'd be eternally grateful. I never understood it.

He was gay, Da Vinci?

There been clear circumstantial indicators that he may been gay. Celibate heterosexual lifestyle. Once arrested and twice accused of Sodomy, wether it was legit or by rivals, or avoided it due Medici protection. Speculation of his life long live in sitaution with 2 of his pupils, one of whom was known to be gay etc.


There's no conclusive evidence, he was a genius who was very private of his private life. Didn't write any letters of romantic orientation (doesn't mean he was gay, there were key figures in his time who wrote about their homosexual affairs in letters).


He may been gay, bi, asexual or completely celibate heterosexual, who knows. But enough indicators he may been gay for it to be brought up for centuries. Long before it was hip for LGBT community to claim historical figures.

I'm pretty into track and field, several brothers and sisters actually compete.

I think it's a great sport to watch too. If you're really honest about it, the result in football is determined by moments that take about 4-5 seconds and happen three or four times a game. The other 89 minutes are basically irrelevant and even more infuriating you're looking at unavoidable time wasting by whoever's leading for the last 20 minutes. None of that in track and field. It's one great event after another.

I'm particularly looking forward to a lot of running numbers:

- the flat 400m M (Belgian Alexander Doom will probably just miss out on a medal, but he became European champion in Rome and looks in great form).
- the 4x400m M (Belgium has got a decent team, otherwise relay races don't really interest me as much)
- the 100m M (let's be fair: whoever is the reigning Olympic 100m champion is the alpha dog)
- the 200m M (I still think Bolt's record is untouchable for current athletes, but on the 200 Lyles might come really close)
- the 400m M hurdles (Warholm looks like he might be in trouble this time)
- anything involving Femke Bol

Apart from track and field I like watching gymnastics and swimming too, but I don't know anything about these sports and just watch them because they're such a big part of the Olympics.

I will say this though: I absolutely detest field hockey, even if Belgium are the reigning Olympic champions.
volleyball is great
