I skipped all the ceremonies and just watched a few selected sports, appreciating the peak of human athleticism.

The China vs Korea shooting competitions (Woman Team Archery and Ind Air Rifle) were great, with one competitor winning with the smallest of margin.

And cheer on an old acquaintance too.

Yea, I think the Koreans have been winning since the inception of their team. But China came pretty close this time tho, down to a shoot-out with a one-point difference.

Other than that, I am also looking forward to the Breaking Event, all for the fact that I did not expect to see it here

Everything about french Olympics is funny, it feels like a competition about who's the sloppiest. The organizers just hold the french people in extreme contempt and many locals called to boycott it before it even started

- fucking wasted huge tax money to try to clean off the Seine
- suddenly cut off major roads in the middle of Paris at the start of July, creating endless traffic jams
- sued a small store opened for 30 years for its name "Les Olympiades"
- kicked out hobos and walled off the gaps under the bridge
- put shitty fences right in front of people's house door. They can't take a step outside if they're fat LOL, can't take their trash outside
- put a shitty QR code in some place. Everyone had trouble with it. Hearsay that a worker comitted suicide over it after being fired lol
- combination of both made traffic plummet in local business for the whole month while it's supposed to be holidays and they hired a lot of temporary workers lmao

Adding to that:
- the president has no longer the majority of support from national assembly
- the president is holding off taking a new minister
- the assembly is torn by extreme left and extreme right

The actual events:
- Guys destroyed critical powerlines in high speed train lines. There are so many people pissed off, everyone might as well be the culprits
- hearsay that there wasn't enough toilets and tourists were caught pissing and shitting in the Seine lol
- participants angry at overly vegan meals
- a dude tried to hang himself on a tree in the tracks of biking event (after it finished)
- show a pagan ceremony in opening, but ask Brazilian surfer and skaters to not praise jesus because they don't want religion
- introduced South Korea as the northern commies

I just zapped into Germany against Brazil Basketball and I was confused about whether they were playing rugby or basketball... Nice little touch at the end was one of the Germans cursing at a Brazilian player and calling him a little bastard in German just as the camera was focused on him :ROFLMAO:

Olympia is a meme provider for sure.

Would it be possible to discuss the Olympics, you know, the ones being held in another country on another continent without bringing American politics into it? If I wanted to read idiotic political takes, there are other websites for that.

The Olympic seems like a bad nightmare script,and someone in the thread already said paris smells piss and feaces all day which diminished my image from the artistic country

I watched some disciplines, I like sports. Shooting and archery were great.
As for the opening ceremony, I feel we should go back to the basics.
With commentary:
Sarajevo 1984:
Sarajevo in '84 was great as well.
I can also recommend this playlist of opening ceremonies for comparison.
2024 was a disappointment and did not reflect the Olympic spirit.

Not really. Drunk fighting is fun. Especially if they are so drunk, they miss 90% of the punches. I can't see how drunk people running can be fun.
Running drunk can be very fun. As for watching others run drunk, it is hilarious if you are drunk as well. Especially when they run around while making airplane noises and spreading their arms... and then crash into one another.
