Anything to have them not all be such losers! USA USA USA!

All bullshit aside, thank you AJUMP23 for curating and keeping this thread active and relevant.

I enjoyed every post ITT, but I especially enjoyed watching Stephen Curry putting France to sleep.

My favorite Olympics ever!

Absolutely savage takedown. Look at this:

What is it with this "breaking" fraudster? She's giving Rachel Dolezal vibes

Well she didn't claim to be an aboriginal.

I'll tread lightly here but breakdancing is not historically the domain of middle aged white women and she's also a professor apparently. I could be totally off the mark but that's the vibe I'm getting from her.

British marathon runner who finished last in Paris ran the entire race with a broken femur:

I'm convinced she took she took the piss that day. Had to be.

Still not as bad as this bloke from down under.

If I had to roll around on the ground for a free trip to Paris I would.

Sure, there's money going around, but there's lot of money given to the athletes too. They have sponsors so they can actually do what they do, and sorry but gymnastics or discus throwing isn't a job. People basically sponsor your hobby. Plus, you get money from your government usually if you enter a final, or win a medal. In Israel you get 1m shekels (around $250K) for a gold medal, no tax.

Since they're desperately trying to scrub the infamous breakdance off the internet, here it is on odysee

The commentators doing their best to not downplay the australian is kinda embarrassing. The american girl is so fucking good in comparison which is even sad.

It isn’t. She entered a public forum and made a fool out of herself and country.

Australia had a great Olympics, some great swimmers, specifically, and all of that is overshadowed by the this silly performance.

The American was favored to win. She didn’t but she was a contender.

She was amazing. I was kinda worry her hair could trouble her, but she got it. Did super well. The australian in the other hand is pure poop. Can't even believe how she got qualify to participate.

That’s actually the first time I’ve watched that crap!

They are both completely shit! The girl in the white shirt is shit, the Aussie one is shit. It’s just two people taking turns to roll around on the floor and strike poses.

The worst “sport” they have ever allowed in the olympics. Glad it’s gone, and if the Aussie’s contribution is that it’s never invited back, she’s a hero in my eyes.

I totally get roasting her online, but harassing her family? ehhh

Anyone that watched the Olympics knows Australia killed it; nobody thinks that was overshadowed by raygun

 

[Nydius]

What's sad about the whole Raygun nonsense is that it shined a spotlight on all the underlying problems breaking has as a potential future olympic sport -- namely the lack of a cohesive organizational body which every other IOC-approved sport has, and the haphazard way qualifiers were run to get people in.

Although breaking was not slated for LA28 before Raygun's, performance, the end result of all her nonsense may just be that breaking never returns to the olympics.

 

[Raven117]

Yeah, no family stuff...but ehhh.

Who is getting more press? Raygun or Titmus?

Time to go for broke and add hobby horsing to the Olympics. Please gawd, make it happen.

I'm calling it. Ultimate Frisbee within the next 3 olympics.

 

[12Goblins]

Really wish France had introduced Petanque to the olympics . It's wildly popular in france, takes a lot of skill and strategy, and its easily accessible to anyone. I think elitist sports like Fencing, equestrians, etc are not that impressive because it's so exclusive and the pool of competitors so limited. Like where the fuck do you find a velodrome to practice track cycling???



also aggresive inline skating should be introduced. I'm biased cuz I inline but it's so fun and impressive to watch IMO

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

I thnk that's called Jeu de boule,

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[Alx]

I thnk that's called Jeu de boule,

"Jeu de boules" is the common name for all bowling games in France, but each region used to have its own variation (Lyon, Brittany, Picardy, North, ...). Pétanque is the one from Marseille/Provence (named from old provençal meaning "joined feet") and is the most popular version.

Lame, in that case I imagine the Anglosphere obliterated everyone.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Also, total bullshit to be flying horses around the world for it. Animals shouldn't be in sport, IMO. Especially since there regularly seems to be some sort of abuse of the horses exposed every few years. Certainly two Olympics in a row now.

Despite those displays, which resulted in her failing to register a single point, the World DanceSport Federation released the latest rankings which had the Aussie sitting atop the list.

Raygun was catapulted into the world number one ranking thanks to the 1000 points she claimed for winning the WDSF Oceania Championship which booked her a spot in the Olympics.

Four Aussie’s find themselves inside the top eight on the list with Holy Molly (4), Hannah (5) and G-Clef (8) joining Raygun.

The three women who took home the medals in Paris failed to appear on the list with no points offered for the world rankings.

lol I felt I had to fact check this

Raygun is hot, i thought she did pretty good. God knows i can’t do the moves she does.

The Australian breakdancer is on top of the latest rankings despite her polarizing Olympic routine.

crazy how much damage she has done to the sport
