Breakdancing on Eurosport 2. It’s like the old Soccer AM dance off!

Have they got a soccerette on?

Chris Hoy is one of the few presenters on the BBC I actually like listening to, great athlete, great pundit, and as far as I know not asthmatic

That’s Sir Chris to you peasant

China top the medal table with 31 golds. It feels like half of them have come from diving events!

They were expected, apparently, to have a clean sweep of the diving medals.

I thought they were taking piss....
Whatever next, synchronised farting.

Don’t tell my wife she’d want to enter the next Olympics

Only after the dippers withdrew.

For the life of me i cant understand climbing being an olympic sport

More of a sport than break dancing IMO

 

[Protein Junkie]

Breaking (aka breakdancing)? In the Olympics?

Tis Ok we will probably have Tik Tok in the next Olympics. Gotta appeal to them pesky kids.

There are plenty of random sports in the Olympics these days, but it's a pretty incredible things to be able to do and for me that's enough of a benchmark for it to be in. Things like football and golf shouldn't as it's not the pinnacle of the sport. There are lots that could be better refined as well. BMX racing in a one off race, when it's a best of three qualification process. Sailing where you have a medal race after about 10 previous races too. That's like City winning the league then having a one off game to decide who actually wins.
