It's good so far, lots of jumping and bending over. I think they're hitting a ball back and forth but I'm not sure, it's all very distracting.

Holy shit we got a catfight!

Do they allow them to fight like in NHL?

[John Marston]

Logic is respected.
What a game.
Proud of my gals

Canada deserved an extra few points because of their superior costumes.

 

[AJUMP23]

Lift for gold.

Is break dancing an Olympic sport? I have trouble putting one and two together. I'm not opposed to it but at this rate e-sports is going to be an Olympic twaddle fuck.

 

[calistan]

Just watched the 'breaking' final, and that was hands down the shittest, most embarrassing thing I have ever seen in the Olympics. Absolute cringefest.

To even include it in the Olympics has some strong "how do you do, fellow kids" energy, but everything about it... The commentary, the other person posing while waiting to dance, the shitty dancing itself. Oh my god. What the fuck next, Olympic rap battles?

Yes. Many times in host countries they add something that is important to the host. Here they chose breaking in Japan we got baseball in LA we will get looting.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

I see. I have to discard all my beliefs and discrepancies.

 

[AJUMP23]

Italian anger. Smoldering like Vesuvius.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

So dumb



This girl is good though

What gets me is the commentary, they have no idea what is happening. I'm not going to judge what should and shouldn't be at the Games, but trying to find space for all these venues and athletes and judges and commentators must be ridiculously expensive.

Edit: I'm not saying breakdancing shouldn't be an Olympic sport, I mean rhythm gymnastics is there too, but maybe we need another spin off like the Winter Games. Call it the Spring Olympics or something.

As much as I have an open mind they don't even compare to all those other athletes who sacrificied so much blood & sweat over years of training.
And that includes the equestrian rich assholes who let their horses do all the work.

Shade thrown

holy shit that's so good lmaoooo

 

[Rentahamster]

Gotta admit, this does take a lot of skill and athleticism.

Top tier meme.

I captioned it "Australians out of water"

"my kid when they climb in my bed at night"

Shameful.

Can't be too long before we have Olympic Takeshi's Castle.

I would 1000% watch this.

 

[Durien]

So it looks like opening ceremony people don't close it out? I was hoping to catch gojira again kick some ass again...

MAGIKARP!

Drive-By shooting, red vs blue.

Although your recent Olympic pics were great I still retain my Marston relaxing at the exclusive Rentahamster spa as my Avatar for the rest of this summer

Man, Greek Wrestling is like the da facto Olympic sport. Brutal strength, tactics, dexterity.

Amazing to watch.

It's not wrestling until someone gets hit with a steel chair.

There are a lot of nonsense sports, like pretty much all of the ones where judges give out seemingly random scores.

Even the rich housewives on dancing horses beats breaking, though. There's a long history of stupid sports in the modern Olympics (they used to have Olympic quoits, aka horseshoes) but breakdancing is pure ridiculousness.

Bring on Olympic graffiti artistry. Teams of masked youths get 10 minutes to decorate a subway car before the security guards arrive.

 

[Durien]

I don't eve know what I'm looking at.

A seizure

I mentioned equestrian because on a fluke I was switching channels and stumbled on an analyst commenting on Guy Laliberté's daughter riding her horsie.

Guy created the "Cirque Du Soleil".

I just rolled my eyes and switched channels

For those that were unaware, horse dancing is literally an olympic sport.

This girl was sent to the hospital and they thought she might have been paralyzed. Fortunately she is alright.

7 medals for Israel. Our girls brought home the Silver in Rhythmic Gymnastics!

Here's their routine performed perfectly with the Eiffel Tower at the end:

Whoa whoa, wait, there was a ball? When did that happen?

 

[ADiTAR]

Breaking is too subjective. I think most sports have some kind of balanced added score like difficulty, something. This is literally people voting for whoever they want.

I feel like track cycling is so incredibly underrated, it's so exciting to watch.

 

[AJUMP23]

Marathon finish. Ethiopia wins.

Crazy to think people run 26 miles in 2 hours.

 

[Gp1]

5 cooling breaks, 300* fouls, 5 times 2 balls on the pitch, numerous offside, 5 minutes attending to injured players...

10 min stoppage time. Women's soccer is a fricking joke.

Ps. But that Maher, US goalkeeper, did an awesome match.

Dam. They did it. What a relief. First gold since 2012. Great saves from the keeper. Brazil played well too
