Finally the IOC did their job and made up enough sports/events that the US can surpass China in the medal chart. And they're going to go even further in 2028 with flag football lmao.

It is about passing the Olympics off to the next host not taking part in the Paris ceremonies and what is always done. Just like Paris had stuff outside the Eiffel Tower during the Tokyo closing ceremony.

They mix the commentary high and the performance low. And it sucks. All the time. If you watch in stereo and can fix some of that.

Final updates.
over all the games were great. Paris was a great backdrop and the crowds being back was amazing. The French get a lot of crap and rightfully so. Paris is a beautiful city and French politics is in a terrible place. But they ran some great games.
I had a good time i will just go back to posting in other topics. I enjoy the weird sports the stories the athlete and my country. The current state of America gets on my nerves but we do some incredible things and have some incredible people.

...walking swimmer, to backflip fake, drop to buttslide, roll to draw me like one of your french girls, pac man x2, then a backward attempt at the only recognizable dance move to me The Coffee Grinder.

Without a doubt 100% of the US track and field athletes are doping. The hypocrisy can be painful at times

Not sure which country benefits the most from Russia dropping out. Next Summer Olympics the US is hosting so will be interesting how high total medals will get maybe even 200+

There's the 'host country bounce' to consider. You can see it in France's improvement in overall medal count this time, and Japan's success over the last two. Countries usually invest a shitload in sports when they have a home Olympics to prepare for.Not sure which country benefits the most from Russia dropping out. Next Summer Olympics the US is hosting so will be interesting how high total medals will get maybe even 200+
Here in Britain there has been talk about the decline in the country's gold medals, but the overall medal count has been steady - a lot of near misses, and the transition to a new generation of athletes as the London 2012 ones (29 gold, 65 overall) begin to drop out. In 1996 Britain was 36th in the table with just one gold.
Looks like the Russian medals have been spread around fairly evenly though.

Good video, if slightly depressing.

well, that's a pretty good passing of the flag. I hope we're going to see a good opening show in 4 years. Hollywood you better get your shit straight.
ah, LA my hometown. they're not gonna be swimming in the LA river, I'll tell you that much. that thing will be dry as a bone. and let's see how much they'll clean up the homeless situation. the traffic will definitely be a shit show also. I think I heard something about the mayor of LA asking people to avoid driving during the Olympics, HA! that's a good one. as if anyone would listen. I'm just glad that I work from home and can avoid what would surely be nightmare traffic. in any case, I might get more excited for the game now that it's actually coming to me. just not looking forward to the huge increase in tourists thou. those 2 weeks will definitely be best spending at home.
