2024 Summer Olympics - Paris • Page 13

The worst thing about Water Polo though? They aren't allowed to use sunscreen because it can interfere with the ball. They have to practice in the sun all day with no protection .

 

Australia gets gold in road cycling women time trial. UK silver. US got bronze.

So far US got one silver in diving and a bronze in road cycling. No gold yet.

 

Did skateboarding get moved? I can't find it and the Olympics website doesn't list any for today

 

Yes. Postponed until Monday due to weather

 

I didn’t plan to, but after skateboarding got pushed I have been watching Judo all day and it is sick

 

Women’s is tomorrow btw

 

US men's Gymnastics team fucking up already

 

Thanks Biden

 

British cyclist Josh Tarling got a puncture and missed out on a medal by two seconds in the street time trials. Gutting for him.

 

Belgium's Remco Evenepoel (the recent 3rd place holder in 2024 Tour de France) takes the gold medal in Road Cycling men's time trial

 

Yeah time trials are his specialty; this year's Tour was his 1st attempt, so pretty impressive. Going to be a force to reckon with on the Tour for years to come.

 

US rugby team crashes out as well, finishing 8th

 

Surfing begins at 12pm CT (provided waves are good enough

 

Oh dang, so it WAS raised upside down

2024 Paris Olympics: Olympic flag raised upside down during Opening Ceremony

 

Wild push at the end

 

Ladecky and Dressel better not drop the ball and leave the US with 0 gold medals on day 1

 

Surfing just started

 

Waves looking thick and chunky

 

Reminder that if US Women's Water Polo Team wins this tournament they fourpeat gold. they have won gold in 2012, 2016, and 2020. Dynasty cementing shit if they pull out the four. The most dominant team sport program Team USA has that barely anybody knows about.

They won their first match against Greece today. Good first step.

 

not watching - where are they surfing?

 

Tahiti, French Polynesia

 

The WSL (World Surf League) does hold an event in France proper, on its western coast, but the wave sucks compared to Teahupoo in Tahiti

 

As someone not into rugby, that red card tackle made me wince. Ouch.

 

That finish to the bronze medal game in rugby sevens was nuts.
