2021 Summer Olympics - Tokyo

Might as well get a thread going

First up, Team USA mens basketball kinda sucks as the moment

USA suffer back-to-back defeats

New sports to watch: What's new at Tokyo 2020?

 

This whole mess is fucking wild right now.

The betting lines for it getting canceled are crazy.

New Tokyo virus cases near 2K before Games
Opening ceremony leader fired for Holocaust joke

 

US women soccer up 5-1 over New Zealand currently

Sucks the track & field events have been pushed back to starting on the 30th/next Friday

 

It's incredibly frustrating trying to figure out how to watch any of this. It's on like 3 different streaming services and of course they all require a cable subscription.

 

Here ya go, the best part of the 4 hours of opening ceremonies.

 

How is this Russian gymnast competing 3 months after surgery for an Achilles tear? That seems medically suspect.

 

C'mon. You know you know the answer. What is the IOC gonna do? Make ANOTHER R.O.C. like group?

 

loooove watching shit like handball, table tennis, badminton...like when else am I gonna see this on tv?

 

Come on Nyjah. #USA

 

Wasn't able watch the opening ceremony but looking forward to watching nonstop this week

 

watching 3x3 basketball while I wait for the skating finals.

 

Pretty dope to see skateboarding here; should drive it's popularity around the world

 

Looking forward to the track events the most; there's an 18 year old US high school kid who has a chance at winning the 200m

 

Man they are just throwing up bricks left and right In this game.

 

Skating being in the Olympics makes me so happy

 

Canoe Slalom looks hard as shit

 

Lots of other great clips on the NBC Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/c/NBCSports/videos

 

Haven’t been able to watch much yet due to some last minute traveling. Still crazy to me that the olympics are even happening.

 

It's super weird not seeing people in the stands

 

Really wishing there were a better way to catch stuff. I feel like I'm guessing trying to find streams on different channels.

 

The politics of picking this US gymnastics team are absurd. All six are absolutely incredible, but it feels like wrong choices were made by not putting Jade Carey in the main four.
