Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

I'm not sure how the one who won gold there got such a big score, I thought the GB & French ones were both better.

Controversial view probably but all sports that rely solely on judges are a bit rubbish. It’s like what the red shirts want in football, matches decided by VAR.

The Olympic motto is “Stronger, Faster, Higher” so how does judging something come into it?

Blokes on kids bikes whatever next
Walking home from pub after 10 pints should've made the games years ago

Fidget spinning will be in next.

So gymnastics and diving are abit rubbish?

What we need is Olympic Lounging Around. I’d win that.

Didn’t help that the commentary gave absolutely no idea what was a good run or a bad…..they thought they were all amazing!

I know you get extra score for using all the areas of the park. But whilst the majority of riders did big tricks, they would roll up and down certain ramps for speed where the Brit was doing it on everything.

I have a feeling the Brit lad got penalised because he is so good and they expected even more!

Don’t know I never watch them.

That said one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my life was Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. The gymnastics was unbelievable stuff, I just don’t know how you can tell that one is better than the other.

Who’d have thought that stevie wonder was a BMX judge

Boozing would be a good one.

Think I’d do fairly well in the seniors category…
