Olympics Thread

[Rapido]

It's amazing how easily athletes figure out (retrospectively) how a banned substance got in their system. Almost like they have the excuse pre-planned.

Do these uniforms serve any special purpose? Not sure how motorcycle leathers help with target shooting

Certainly the Turk missed the memo.

I wonder if the structure of the clothing helps minimise movement.

[Machpants]

Traditional, more than anything. Leather shooting jackets have been around for years. However you can see how they cleverly use the trousers as a stiff platform for elbow. So yeah it helps minimise movement

Comedy Central is missing out on a gold mine opportunity here.

Zoe Hobbs with a strong run to come second in her heat. Not sure where that puts her

[Bovidae]

Top 3 qualify. Zoe looked comfortable. Hopefully a PB in the SF.

First I ever heard of it was Tokyo.

Never heard of it since.

Basketball is already in the Olympics.

This is the first time I've ever seen it.

Odd.

Swimming would be more interesting with doggy paddle. Marchand would still win though.

[booboo]

And "3 EX 3"?

3 BY 3 is so much easier to say?

[Canes4life]

Really annoyed Sky isn't showing the 49er medal race at 11.15pm. We are in with a shot of gold and it's not on any of their channels. ffs.

I don't know if it was 3 X 3, but I remember the And1 league ages ago. It's street ball, but without the razzle dazzle

[booboo]

So they're the Kangaroos?

[booboo]

I'll concede it's all action.

And I'm only 8 mins in (not 30) and am now an expert, but I still ask "why?"

[booboo]

All those kids dreaming of playing 3ex3 when they grow up
