2024 Paris Olympic

[jalimon]

It's coming in only 22 days. Darn, it seems like yesterday that I screamed like crazy watching the women's canadian team win gold 3 years ago.

Now in Paris so the time zone won't be so brutal.

I like watching the drama of the swimming competition and track and field. I hope the best for Summer McIntosh and Maggie!

I like the drama behind many performances and failures... For the redemption, I would love Penny Oleksiak to get one last medal. She made us so proud back 8 years ago!

And of course, we would not be on this board otherwise, I love to find the cutest athletes out there haha

This year new Canadian track star Audrey Leduc of Gatineau begins with a head start Could have been a model if she hadn't run the 100m so fast!

On the soccer team no one is a bigger fan then me for Janine Beckie and Jordyn Huitema.


Who are these other athletes I do not know about??

I know both CBC and NBC are not showing in 4K. Is the only way to watch in 4K is use a VPN and then watch from a foreign country broadcasting in 4K?

You are leaving out the Paolo Maldini of female football, currently playing for Chelsea's women's club.

Ashley Lawrence is still Canada's best football player.

Knowing how crabby Parisians are, the bigger crush of tourists will make them even surlier. In Paris they love chitlin.

Ho my god do I ever agree with you! Make me the coach of Canada and my first 2 picks would be Ashley and Vanessa Gilles Ashley is beautiful, strong, efficient, and well-liked by all her teammates.

Recently I was in a Montreal little street corner bakery and they told me they made Jambon-Beurre as good as the one in France. You know how the ham in France is dry, not as humid and mushy as here in America. With just butter in an amazing French baguette. But they told me they add thin slice of Swiss Ementhal cheese to it. Seriously it was so good I cried...

Doable French babe. Sadly for locals, they are forced to move out of their apartments so landlords can rent to tourists. I'm glad Toronto isn't getting the Summer Olympics at least not in my lifetime.

Lucile has Andaluz blood in her, I wouldn't hesitate to buy her a cock monsieur. The soaking is going to be extreme, $ 29.00 for a croque monsieur.

A Canadian gold is as exciting and significant regardless of the visual acuity. It's all about the moment. It's not, Where were you when CBC went 4k.

 

[Insidious Von]

The Woodbridge Academy produced Canada's best football player, she was trained to play like Paolo Maldini. The men are getting much better, she's still No. 1.

 

[glamphotographer]

Canada's Men's basketball team has a legit chance at gold.

 

[glamphotographer]

Will Olivier Rioux play for Canada?

Summer McIntosh

 

[princekwekua]

Summer has dropped the 200 free as there are 2 stronger swimmers ahead of her. She will be competing in the following individual races:

1. 400 IM - WR holder and clear favourite
2. 200 fly - 2 time world champion and favourite
3. 400 free - 2nd fastest woman in history and favourite
4. 200 IM - chance for gold but the toughest

Not sure how many relay events she will be a participant

The team never decides that much in advance about relays. It really depends on the schedule of all swimmers. So far an analyst has predicted that she will only do the 4*100m. But that may change fast...

The USMBT played an exhibition match against some country called South Sudan. Blowout for US, right? Wrong! South Sudan led by double digits most of the game with the US eventually pulling out a 101-100 victory. South Sudan had the ball with 8.1 seconds left with a chance to win but couldnt convert. The USMBT isn't invincible. Hope Canada beats their ass.

France currently making USA learn that they are the country that develops the most players in the world.

The US and canada are getting better but by god if you only knew how different it is un latin america and europe.

The most important factor is that it’s not a business at youth level. It is a business later on once they turn pro. But at a young age no way a parent has to spend 3 to 5 thousands per year!

Italian diving qualifiers.

Women's soccer Canada vs New Zealand on CBC. Just checked and it is sad they are still only broadcasting in 720p on TV. WTF? Wonder if the quality is the the same on CBC Gem streaming and their website? Still haven't signed up for a VPN so that I can watch the Olympics with other international broadcasters showing in 4K.
