With the official start coming later this week are you going to watch the Olympics? I may catch a few things but I do have to admit I was today years old when I realized that Break Dancing is now a part of the Olympics. 🤣

I didn’t enjoy the Olympics last time because no crowds made it feel like I was just watching practice. But under normal circumstances I will cheer on USA on any and every sport there is.
I'm poppin' and lockin' in anticipation!
Events that come around every 2-4 years are awesome.
Olympics
Copa and Euro
World Cup
Ryder Cup
Presidents Cup
And they usually come at a time when the rest of the sports world is in a slumber. I’m all in for Canada and the US teams.

Don't know, but gambling should already be. My ass would enter. I have bet on Cricket games before (and do not know jack shit about it). I bet on Euro basketball, Korean, Turkey, Australian, hell name a pro league and I have bet on them.
Hell yes, I'm stoked for (in no particular order).....
* Basketball
* Track & field
* Swimming
* Boxing

Fun fact: the frenchies didn't install a/c in the Olympic Village in order to be green. There's some sort of water based system that cools it down to 82 Fahrenheit. Teams are apparently allowed to bring window units and portable ones if they wish.
Good to see politics injected into the Olympic thread less than twenty posts in.
Back to topic, I really only follow the track and field, volleyball to some extent as well. I don't watch NBA or college basketball much and swimming and diving bores me to tears, would rather watch paint dry or cut the grass.
Even though I'm a big golf fan, I can't get real excited about Olympic golf. We just had four majors which mean more to me and most fans than the Olympics by a long shot

My daughter's high school has an e-sports gaming "team". Like 5 kids. Totally what u think.
As far as the Olympics, sure. It's what will bridge us to football season. So that's that I guess

I love that rugby 7s is now an olympic sport. Go Eagles!
I always like the track and field events, and swimming events.
And, of course, women's beach volleyball. Must see TV.

Just read that Snoop Dogg will be a torch bearer on one of the final legs before the Olympic flame enters the stadium. Trying to imagine the size of the doobie he could light off that bad boy!
I wonder if it would have been more environmentally friendly had the French installed air-conditioning using a designed system, rather than let the competitors bring window units.
Seems the more wealthy countries will benefit from the French plan. I wonder if the French team is permitted to plug in. Let’s hope the weather is mild.
Looks like 85 is the high for the 10-day forecast. Some 70s in there. Nice.

And the police security vehicles have four gears, one neutral & three reverse.
I put a drive belt on my riding mower incorrectly once and had 1 forward and 3 reverse gears. 🤣
