@barbarian Spot on about Skateboarding and Surfing. Great additions to the Olympics.

Personally I don't think Tennis or Golf should be there when there are other bigger events in those sports not only this year, but this month.

Right on! How annoying they didn't include hopscotch, marbles, soapbox derby and kick scooters.

The 3x3 men's basketball final was a great watch

[Rapido]

Havent we already had the women's whitewater canoeing?

[Rapido]

Was that kayaking?

[Machpants]

Jessica Fox, C1 slalom, fuck me! What a performance, even a know nothing like me see she was faster

Kayaking, yup

[Rapido]

I watched some 3 x 3 basketball the other night and put it down as some the worst sport I've ever seen.

It's just practice.

I guess you could say that is what weight lifting is too, though

Scrummaging practice will be in there by 2036, I reckon. Maybe the goal kicking practice before the coach turns up,could olympasize that.

Slip cradles by 2040. Or net bowling? Who can best banana bend swing the 2 piece cricket ball.

I didn't know the 3x3 basketball would be that bad. It looks very amateurish. There's a lot of chucking.

Geez the last point in the table tennis was phenomenal. Great semi final

totally nuts. This has been a hell of a match

@nzzp 11 to 9 in the seventh after an epic rally. The legend of Ma Long just keeps going on.

Its a shame the woman's sculls cant also do a 1000m, 500m, 2500m, forward, backwards as well...then we could clean up in the medals like the other countries do in swimming...

At least we have the kayaking to come, Lisa "Big guns" Carrington must be a serious contender again

Lisa Carrington. One should not find someone with shoulders like that so attractive.

[MiketheSnow]

Could have gone in ‘Awesome’ thread but good here

Tanaka wins the creative Olympics

[Stargazer]

Women's 800m freestyle (heat 1).

Thomas at 2nd at the moment.

[Stargazer]

Thomas still in 2nd after 500m.
