Look, I'm impressed that when the Adelaide b-girl didn't show on the plane to Paris, the Australian Olympic Committee got a Qantas baggage handler to stand in at the last minute like that.
I caught that breaking event yesterday (they also call it b-boying, b-girling or breakdancing) and I don't think that I will ever understand why did they introduce this "sport" at the Olympics.
I'm still stuck on synchronized swimming. So no, not there yet.
Incredibly stupid. However, I hope they bring back poetry.
People forget all the Olympic medals they gave out for architecture, music, literature, sculpture, and painting from 1912-1948.
Why do I get the feeling if China does finish above the USA in the medals ranking, Trump will use that narative in his rallies and blame the Democrats for this travesty.
That's got to be at least a 50/50 bet on Polymarket.
This despite the Olympics being proclaimed too woke this year.
There's no test proving she's anything other than a woman.
But it is funny that people were making the argument she wouldn't have an advantage, because of poor results in the past and now she has a gold medal.
I am not a fan of using success at an event as the primary indicator of cheating. Too easy, too conditional, and lets a lot of cheaters off the hook.
And we wonder why all the female Tuz posters have been chased away.
US basketball team never really has a plan they just throw it all together and the vets lead the team, and that's almost always enough because of the quality. By the next Olympics France might be able to take a step up in talent but it would be a huge shock if US didn't win basketball in LA.
But that
was the plan. Grant Hill basically wanted to reset after the FIBA World Cup failures and start over by building a team around James, Curry, and KD.
I'll never forget the 2008 Gold Medal match between USA and Spain. Probably one of the greatest games of basketball ever. Kobe was so clutch in that final quarter.
I forgot if he won a medal for rape that year.
