2024 Summer Olympics - Paris • Page 18

It’s crazy how some events are already on finals

 

They have won that by millimetres

 

I’m rooting for Slovenia. The only country that matters.

 

Canoe slalom in the rapids is one of the most impressive sports for me.

I would genuinely die.

 

All skateboarding events take one day only (which probably should have been two days because they seem tired and it’s usually two days at contests)

 

Canoe would be more fun if they had to hold a beer in one hand the entire time

 

Canoe looks absolutely exhausting

 

Poe Pinson is pure joy, amazing ambassador for skateboarding

 

Told ya’ll Coco was gonna do it

 

All the missed tricks definitely made the women's street kinda anticlimactic

I get that the tricks are hard and you want a system that encourages going big rather than playing safe but felt weird watching so many misses

 

An extra day would have helped

 

So they could do more tricks? Or so they weren't as fatigued for the trick portion?

 

The latter. Usually in contests preliminaries and finals are on two consecutive days.

 

So weird that Hungary is the dominant country in canoeing and not like Canada.

 

Too much cool stuff on. I caught the tail end of the skateboarding and now we're watching gymnastics qualifying

 

I got basketball on the TV and gymnastics on the laptop

 

Olympics pilled

 

Fencing final in 5 minutes if you want to see US showing off newfound dominance in a niche sport.

 

Putting fencing on my 2nd/work laptop - 3 streams baby

 

What is this fencing venue, haha; train station?

 

Heads up about the fencing differences.



Also foil and epee = only tip of blade counts. Saber = any part of blade counts

 

honest question, do you ever sleep?

 

Wonder if any of these fencers were extras on Squid Game

 

I slept great last night thanks.

Allow me to be spectrum-ey about niche things grimace

 

it was more about how you some how seem to be able to consume all media at all times
