Apparently skateboarding is an Olympic sport. Lolol awful.

Better or worse than 3 on 3 basketball? Lol

That may be even worse.

 

[Deebs]

That may be even worse.

It's pure trash

3 on 3 basketball I don't get though, since when is this a thing?

Olympic dodgeball, I'd watch that. Shit's intense.

I'm laughing but I think I would watch that too

The faculty of science organized a dodgeball tourney when I was in school. It was out of control. Long story short- they never had it during the last 4 years of my schooling.

3 on 3 basketball but they don’t want trail training and ultra etc

USA just lost their first game against France in basketball.

US was ahead with a little under a minute left. France ended up taking the lead. US were missing a lot of their shots.

We used to do a version where we'd use a medicine ball instead of a dodgeball and try and throw it at each other as hard as we possibly could. It's still kind of a mystery to me that nobody got seriously hurt To be young and stupid, I guess.

 

[Adam Michaels]

You think he's ready?

Oleksiak is a machine!

Her upper body, especially them shoulders. Man she's like a tank. Silver medal, 3/100th secs faster than US.

Silver for the girls in the 3 m synch diving. Also great.

FAA upset in the first round. He was ranked 9th in the Olympics.

He was scheduled to play Andy Murray who pulled out with a few hour left, so a surprise opponent entered the draw.

I wonder if that threw FAA off, but he also had like 8 or 9 double faults in a 2 set loss.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Wow that triathlon is a shit show, loops on thr bike section... city if not big enough?

 

[Phil Parent]

Foot Race event, not sure the exact name of it.

Camera focussing on runners puking their guts out after they've finished.

Announcer: "We know this isn't what you want to see... but these guys truly dig deep and get it all out"

And I'm laughing so hard.

 

[Phil Parent]

Well certainly they could put helmets on the skateboarders. That there girl almost brained herself.

 

[habamillions]

Watching some of the rugby. Its embarrassing for some of these teams. I guess they are just happy to be there. But some of these games are not even close.

Maggie McNeil, gold. in 100 Butterfly. CANADA!!!

 

[dinodebino]

This 14-year old kiddo will be something. Woah. 4th and close to win a medal. At 14...Canada has another star.

 

[Phil Parent]

Summer McIntosh, 14 YEARS OLD, came 15m from a Bronze Medal in 800m whatever stroke. Canadian record.

 

[Phil Parent]

I wonder if the proper promoting / integration culturally of field hockey could make Canada a powerhouse at it.

But f*** those sticks. I don't see anything good I could do with them. SHERWOODS! MAKE USE OF 'EM!

Lack of skates, turned into a kind of soccer with sticks.

Looking forward to Sunday in Hungary, should be an epic race.

It's a fantastic sport to play and a lot of fun. Only righties though which I always found odd.
