2024 Summer Olympics - Paris • Page 70

End of Women’s basketball dynasty huh?

 

The women’s basketball team just does not have it today

 

A less US centered are the international sports federations that have been recognized by the IOC but aren't an olympic sport yet:

Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations - Wikipedia

anything that is gonna be added is probably coming off that list

 

Orienteering as an Olympic sport would be interesting

 

Womens basketball game just got gooooood.

 

All ball.

 

the reffing in this game seems bad

 

This is maybe the most physical basketball game I’ve ever seen

 

Feeling the home cooking here. wtf is going on

 

“I’ll return it if every single one of those judges is banned from the sport for the rest of their careers. Until then…”

 

This is the first women’s basketball game I’m watching but damn the rotations are deep. There’s subs at like every dead ball

 

Freestyle motorcross at the olympics would be sick

 

This is so tense, haha

 

This is looking good.....

 

YUsssssssss

 

Waterski/wakeboard is another one that is one the potential future sports shortlist. That is the one I'd want just because near where i am in central Florida is basically the ski/wake capital of the world, and it would bring a lot of attention/investment.

 

if that had been good for 3 it would've been an all time olympic moment

 

Absolutely insane end to that women’s game.

 

Incredible way to finish this Paris Olympics

 

USA top the medal table; part of the increase in the total comes from Russia not participating I think




Tokyo

 

It was. Jackie Young fouling out is all anyone needs to see to confirm it

 

Russia had 20 last Olympics, whereas US and China only gained a net of 3 so it wasn't really that:

US golds 2024 (looks like this chart hasn't been updated for the basketball game yet):



US golds 2020:



honestly seem pretty similar. did better in the pool (+4) in 2020 but far worse on the track (-7). Only sport we picked up some medals in compared to 2020 that Russia tends to do well are Fencing and Gymnastics. But Russia doesn't have anyone that can touch Simone even if they could compete.

 

She went deeeeep into the pain cave and didn't quit, finishing the race - fucking awesome

Id love to see something akin to a scaled down eco-challenge. LA Olympics would be perfect since there's so much NP/NF land nearby
