Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Track and Field is coming up... Looking forward to some WRs, hopefully the women's 800 finally gets broken.

And I'll point out the obvious, track and field athletes are the most beautiful human beings on the planet. It's just ridiculous.

Who else loves handball? It was fun to play in school back in Ukraine.

[Thaleia]

Man I love the Olympics.
Just saying it.
Also, US Women’s gymnastics team is next level.

Can't argue with that. And I said it three years ago, I'll say it again - any one of these women rugby player could absolutely kick my ass.

Good God sb is such a complete and utter moran. And I've got him on ignore.

Ya, I wish people wouldn't quote him.

Watching futbol (Spain vs Egypt) ad there are no announcers.

And I think I prefer it to all the inane chatter.

The two men's basketball games I watched yesterday sounded like they were being announced by the local public access channel. It was awful.

Surfing third round was fun in double overhead teahupoo.

Germany even sucks in the medal rating these days( wirst ever apparently?). Is there anything we're not bad at? [emoji3]

I love finding myself getting dialed into sports that I don't normally see or even fully understand. The table tennis, MTB, 3 x 3 basketball and rugby have been highly entertaining.

Rugby 7’s is incredible, that’s a new one for me.

Table tennis is excellent.. Watching a Swedish kid beat the number 1 rated player was wonderful.

It’s going to be a great series of Finals for T&F; lots of good storylines and potential WR outcomes. Stoked!

Well apparently they were the only ones in the tournament. At least that was the impression I got. With a couple of guest appearances by Brazil and Italy so we could see people falling.

Unbelievable conditions. Also, in 20 years of watching big wave surfing I've always heard it pronounced Cho-poo, to the point of even abbreviating it to Chopes, but all the NBC talking heads are pronouncing it like it's spelled.

I don't watch surfing outside of what I see on TGR's socials and even I thought "Cho-poo" is how its pronounced. Did a double take when I heard NBC saying otherwise.

As far as I know Polynesian is fairly similar to German in pronouncing the Letters so I think nbc should be correct. An a is an ah not ae and so forth. An o is oh and not like the oo in too.

I don't think the wsl hat cares much about pronounciation.

I think teh-ah-hoo-poh-oh (to roughly translate that into freedom language) is correct.

[jackstraw]

So you're saying a bunch of stoner surfers have been pronouncing it wrong all these years!?

Have you ever skied a couloir? Ya know, a "cooler".
