2024 Summer Olympics - Paris • Page 48

I wanted to root for Amit Elor in women's wrestling, but just read this quote from her

Nope. Fuck off.

 

down to the final 3 in pole vaulting. Didn't think I'd be watching this for 2.5 hours but I'm fully invested

 

USA-Brazil in men’s volleyball is living up to the hype and expectation. We take set one 26-24.

 

Becoming fully invested in a sport that you otherwise never really pay attention to or think about is what the Olympics is all about

 

For me it's been Fencing and Archery. Also prepping for Weightlifting by getting into Olympic Weightlifting youtube.

 

was a big fan of the kayak/canoe slalom events. the cross ones didn't do as much for me, but I only got to watch the qualifying maybe some of final races there were better.

 

US wins silver in pole vault and gold in discus!

 

Gold in female discus

 

will they hold the 800m start until this guy figures out if he can get the WR or not? currently just have the PV stream on and want to watch him nail it but also not miss the race

 

peacock has been effing up all morning and giving me errors when I try to start events so I missed 99% of the race

 

Exact same page, I got way into the slalom events but kinda checked out for the cross runs. I’ve never watched slalom before but the way I was reacting to the TV after like 10 minutes of it you would think I knew those competitors personally lol

 

Duplantis really is the GOAT of pole vault isn't he? Just makes it look so easy

 

He did it!

 

Watching that makes me wonder if he couldn't clear a few more inches

 

Watching NK vs the American Zionist Israel supporter right now in women's wrestling semis, and I never thought I would be rooting for North Korea over America.

Update:

That was quick. Amit Elor in the finals tomorrow vs either Nigeria or Kyrgyzstan

 

Gold for GB’s Keely Hodgkinson in the women’s 800m. She’s looked immense in every race.

 

This Duplantis dude is one of the best stories here so far, holy crap he demolished everyone and is gunning for every record

 

Brazil took set two 30-28 after being down 24-22. This is legit nuts.

 

Timothee Chalamet setting the pole vault record was awesome

 

Man I knew he looked super familiar

 

I have a good friend who was a pole vaulter whose daughter competes at the high school level in the states. He said this dude is like an NFL/NBA/MLB superstar in Sweden, and gets paid like it too.

 

Surfing coverage has finally started - men and women finals

 

Mike Tirico is absolutely killing it on Gold Zone, commentating and keeping everyone up to date on multiple sports.

 

That’s Scott Hanson

 

The Catch A Predator guy?
