  1. Fly Simone Fly! Too much power OOBs but fuck it.
  2. Yes. 🙌 And they medal. Good for them! That’s a long drought they have had for one.
  3. Keep kicking ass ladies! 🇺🇸
  4. I wish I could do one tumbling pass. But by age 8 I was already getting too tall for gymnastics. Boo!
  5. Italy has a lot of artistry on the floor. That helps them probably solidify silver at the very least.
  6. It so special seeing how confident and happy our team is. Way to go Simone! fuck Ya! Worst event out of the fucking way. How the fuck when they bobble like that they are able to hang on and not fall the fuck off is nuts.
  7. Man I hope the beam hasn’t been compromised. I forget which year that was the vault was fucked and it took a while to figure that out. That said it is very difficult. The Russians (boo) always seemed to kick ass on that event. Still…
  8. Gonna watch gymnastics but prior to that have been watching the hearing with the SS part 2. The concern I now have is the fact that these public hearings tell me a lot about the vulnerabilities the agency has in protecting their charges. One their methodology is to provide protection from the in looking out to a potential threat. Two they don’t have the capabilities software wise to be on the same channel as local LE that are used when a VIP travels. The information LE had about suspicious guy becoming a threat (meaning he went from suspicious guy with range finder acting weird to then becoming a threat by climbing on the roof and getting in shooting position) never made it to the SS. At that point LE was engaged but SS did not know. They cannot have some kind of “key” to tap into local channels/frequencies when they travel so they can all communicate together. I don’t understand all that. But it should make people worried as they rely on local LE when a VIP travels. I wish that wasn’t made public just now I guess.
  9. So Cooper and Whitmer have bowed out publicly. So the field is Walz, Kelly, Buttigieg and Shapiro. I like seeing the remaining candidates “audition” on tv. Trump did that with his main 3 candidates. I still think she picks Kelly or Buttigieg bc she has good working relationships with both of them. Shapiro was the hot name early but it seems like Walz is gaining more traction. Have to see how they do on every channel. It’s a casting call so to speak.
  10. Fucking assassin! This next one has a cool angle of his performance bc you can watch his teammates going crazy! Very cool. 😎 I thought after the second day we didn’t have a shot at the team medal. 🏅 fuck ya we did! That gives men’s gymnastics such a boost. It’s been 16 years. Something to build on. A little taste of success suits them.
  11. I guess no plan B for the Triathlon? it’s not like the Seine snuck up on them. Still too dirty to swim in. Their mayor is going to wind up glowing in the dark at some point when she got in there to prove it was ok. It still measures daily in fecal bacteria E. Cool cool cool. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2024/07/28/paris-olympics-cancels-triathlon-swim-practice-seine/74577627007/
  12. Strutting his stuff. Getting that cap. I don’t know why but his facial expressions in the pool crack me the fuck up.
  13. 12 medals so far. Great start for us! America Fuck ya!

  14. I do wish the announcers during the women’s volleyball wouldn’t talk so damn much. I’m probably being overly critical but I like hearing the crowd and watching the strategy without the constant yapping during the actual play. They never shut up.
  15. the surfing 🏄‍♂️ is really fun to watch.
  16. Do we even have a realistic shot at the podium in men’s gymnastics? I mean individual events sure but as a team medal it looks like best shot is bronze but that seems unlikely.
  17. Ya. The text of the tweet is wrong (it’s not unexpected bc of that) but it was the only tweet with that clip. That I could find.
  18. I don’t know why this makes me so happy but it does.
  19. His SS name has been revealed as Bobcat. Surly something can be done with this.
  20. Congrats Chloe Dygert! Took a nasty spill but claimed the Bronze! Bronze medal! Fuck ya! way to regroup and get on that podium girl! Girl power!
  21. So watching the commentators: the pool in Paris is more shallow than the pool 4 years ago. It makes a difference bc the deeper the pool the less turblulance. More turbulence slower times. We won’t see as many WR but when we do that will be pretty fucking amazing.
  22. Congrats to US women’s synchronized 3M spring board! Silver Medal! Fuck ya!
  23. So many people are googling Gojira after the opening ceremony. This was so well done. Much of it in secret. Much of it couldn’t be practiced. Shit rain that wouldn’t fuck off. I thought the boats gave each country a chance to shine in a way that was refreshing. This set a new standard.
  24. https://swimswam.com/which-country-has-the-largest-delegation-at-the-2024-paris-olympics/ yes.
  25. The thing is who takes over if not NBC. I can only see either CBS, ABC or Fox. CNN is part of the CBS stuff. You need multiple channels. Disney kissed ABC’s ass goodbye. ESPN cannot do it. So you have either Fox or CBS.
