OT: The Olympics

[DancingPanther]

Well he stuck all three landings, except only one of them were stuck on his feet.

That was insane

 

[swami24]

He finished and stuck the landing. Lesson to everyone

dag. The 2nd group of women skateboarders. The first introduced is a South African who was 36, the next was a Japanese girl who is 12. wow. I wonder how they determine age eligibility for different sports.

Chloe Kim was 13 and 'too young' even though she was an xgames medalist to go to the 2014 Winter Olympics for snowboarding.

What channel did you watch on? Didnt think it was televised until 9.

What channel did you watch on? Didnt think it was televised until 9.

Watching it online thru the nbc olympics site.
Skateboarding: Women’s Park Skateboarding: Qualification & Final

I think TV is only televising the finals. This is the qualifying to pick the 8 highest for the finals.

Bruh you know that was this morning right?

Still amazing though with the whole worlds eyes on her, half of which preferred to see her fail because they are worthless shitheads.

I didn't see it and managed to not spoil it for myself. What do you want from me

But yes, you are right. "She quit on her country" is the worst type of bullshit from the worst type of people

Canadian Damian Warner through two decathlon events:

Runs 10.12 in the 100m, ties the fastest ever decathlon 100m time and would have made the 100m final with that time.

Jumps 8.24m in the long jump, which would have won him the bronze in the long jump.



Decathletes are the GOATs.

 

[Flybynite]

2 gold medals within the last 24 hours for Jersey :O
Athing Mu in the 800m and now Sydney McLaughlin in the 400m hurdle (WR) the US also got 2nd(which also broke the WR)

 

[Embiid]

I can't help but watch the javelin throw and think of Lamar ..lol

 

[Cody Webster]

Glad to see someone who proclaimed themselves as the GOAT be able to come out and get herself a bronze after taking a few days off. Good for her

 

[GKJ]

They got diving on.

People theoretically fly all over the world just diving into pools in the US, China, England and shit. Just diving.

you can get a full ride through college for diving.

there’s nothing wrong with what they do but that just seems weird

Synchronized swimming gives me the creeps...

So petty. Kinda sad.

Lmao. Was thinking the same thing....scary

Did she proclaim herself the goat though?

By the way, she's still the goat. Also, more importantly, a human being with emotions and feelings and a traumatic past who owes you or anyone else nothing.

Womens park skateboarding finals underway!

Womens park skateboarding finals underway!

I was talking with my brother last night and it's interesting to think how the Tony Hawk video games which were HUGE back in the day actually may have had a detrimental effect on skating.

Their cartoonish and over the top "style" kind of undermines what is physically possible/realistic. The games ended up being more mainstream than actual skateboard competitions and in a way destroyed most people's perspective of the reality of skateboarding and renders everything lame.

It's almost like if people thought pro hockey wasn't what they thought it would be because they played NHL Hitz every day.

I was also blazed af talking about this but I really do think that.

Interesting perspective that only a blazed person would think of

Watched the skating qualifying and now its the finals and the three Japanese skaters and the British skater (who is actually half-Japanese) are like heads and shoulders above everyone else.
