2024 Paris Olympic
- Thread starter jalimon
- Start date
Time to rid the games of all judged sports, let them have their own "Judged" Games"
In which case we'd have runners doing dick thrusts at the finish line. Chest first is a natural finishing move.
Meaning eliminating all figure skating, gymnastic, ski jumping, boxing and other events I'm forgetting about. IMO it doesn't sound reasonable or traditional.
I just wanted to clarify because a lot of those events are old-school traditional Olympic events.
It would be a major, major shift. I understand the sentiment, but there's not a snowball's chance in Grenoble that it will ever happen.
Summer McIntosh and Ethan Katzberg will be Canada's flag bearers. Summer must been at Person Airport on Saturday night.

I love the choices actually!
The Dude and Golden Delicious, that's cool. Penny Oleksiak would have gnocchi for dinner the night before a race, does Summer do the same?The beauty and the beast

Ethan is the dude you see on the chair having a beer and when it's his turn he says "Hold my beer, I gotta toss this thing".
i still remember that race!!
We still don't know Summer's favourite meal but as most athletes I would bet a hundred its some kind of pasta.
back when I was living in Montreal I would go often to Cafe Dante on Dante street in the Italian district just to eat their wild mushroom Gnocchi
There were phenomenal achievements in this Olympics. Leon Marchand winning 4 golds and a bronze in swimming. Summer McIntosh winning 3 golds and a silver in swimming. Gabby Thomas winning 3 golds in track. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone breaking the WR in the 400m hurdles and adding a relay gold.
But the greatest achievement has to go to Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands. She run the heat and final in the 5000m, followed by the 10000m, winning bronze in both races. Then she won the marathon less than 36 hours later. In all, she run a total of 62.2 kilometers over 10 days. Just amazing. She is originally from Ethiopia and the marathon final came to a tussle between her and an Ethiopian runner. Lots of bad blood there. Special congratulations to Sifan Hassan

What a miss! France came close to defeating the arrogant Americans in both men and women basketball. Steph Curry saved the US men with some ridiculous 3 pointers just as he did against Serbia. And A'ja Wilson saved the US women
