Paris 2024 Olympics

[Letters]

I see one of our skateboarders is 51. There's hope for me yet.

Climbing is an “interesting” Olympic event

All you need is a steroid abuser chasing after them and it’d be the Wall from Gladiators

Had a couple of days off so ended up tuning in to some random events.

Really enjoyed watching the speed wall climbing thing yesterday. 5 seconds per.... Race? Mental.

Found myself even enjoying watching showjumping! Fucking horses jumping over fences. And it was tense af.

I also watched the surfing in the morning. Realised I'd been sitting there watching 2 people paddle in the water for 20 minutes because there were no waves. Literally 20 minutes.

Watched the kayak cross I think it is on Monday. Entertaining for the first race or two, they even do a rotation and go underwater. Then realised it was basically pot luck if you get stuck behind someone else. And if you do, you're basically fucked.

Seems to be quite a few events where GB are "close to" gold or silver, and getting silver or bronze, or missing out completely. Though frankly I've no idea if they're events we should be getting medals in, or whether we're just getting greedy now we're actually half decent.

One of the things I love about the Olympics is all the random sports I end up watching that I’d never pay any attention to at any other time.

Silver for the men’s team in the cycling pursuit, bronze for the ladies

Silver.
Knickers

Ooft. That was quite a tumble in the steeplechase.

All Olympians are amazing, except the tranny fucks.

I think anything that has a competitive edge to it and requires physical skill can be deemed a sport

As long as there is a consistent structure surrounding it. Maybe in time we will have a computer that can judge these events and provide a completely impartial analysis when it comes to score giving

People like Letters are instinctively allergic to excellence.

I hate the way they're so often sitting there talking and the actual sport is happening behind them

With that wonderful "music" banging in the background as serious people try to prepare themselves. The French really are more American than they'd ever admit.
