It was only a little joke as Turkey are insanely good at wrestling and weightlifting!

i know bro..
but as you know.
we can be a little more sensitive (is that the word)
so please if you are making a joke to a turk. be a little bittle careful next time ok?

we are handiling lots of things here...
and sometimes we can react to a normal post in bluemoon ok?

as one of my best friends from asmrterdam said
*being a turk a full time job*

so.. ok make fun
sorry do it
but sometime i can react ok?

Can’t believe the Dutch have a convicted child rapist in their squad.

Olympics 2024: Convicted rapist Steven van de Velde to compete in volleyball in Paris

Dutchman Steven van de Velde, who was sentenced to four years in prison for the rape of a 12-year-old British girl, is set to compete in the Paris Olympics.

I really can’t get my head around this. Is that sort of thing normal in the Netherlands?

What a bizarre decision.

Legalising everything by the looks of it!

 

[Kinkybyname]

that is fkn shocking, especially as the offence was in UK

 

[threespires]

Fiji were lucky there, Ireland one lapse of concentration from doing them.

 

[MCFC1993]

True, but there’s only about 12 of them and they’ve never lost a match in the Olympics!

Watched them last night, they were immense. Just missed their quarter-final against Ireland but looks like they're on course to defend their title.

I hope not, my Sister and Brother In Law, are going over for 4 days for the Athletics, and are bringing me some duty free's back.

Just spoke to my City supporting mate in Paignton, he is going tomorrow with his family as his 16 year old daughter is part of the GB Gymnastics team. To say he is gushing with pride is an understatement and I really really don't blame him.

Brilliant mate, hope she does herself proud.

Seems the Dutch are pretty relaxed about everything! Note that the child rapist describes his offence as a 'mistake'. No, a mistake is when you forget to put the bins out.

Especially knowing she was 12! FFS. Outrageous decision.

The TGV rail network has been vandalised around Paris causing major disruption in and out of the city.

Think protesters are going to have a field day causing trouble during this Olympics

Just come up on my phone about this. Coordinated fires have been set off around the network.

I don’t think it will just be protestors. Can see this being a very troublesome few weeks over there.

My nephew is there as a swimming coach.
His third Olympics (third different country as well), as a coach, after Rio and Tokyo.

Very excited.

Oh no. Fools, some people go out to spoil the enjoyment for others.

Even the 'fair dinkum' responses of some his teammates are mad.

Pretty sure it my missus said to me "dont make any rash decisions" and a few hours later I'd volunteered to have one of me fingers chopped off, it wouldn't be the only bit of my anatomy that had gone missing.
