I guess we need a Summer Olympics thread…?

Someone do an OP. Not it.

The Olympics are my favorite. Took time off work to enjoy maximum events. It’s too late to cancel it again right?

Well, if these Olympics happen, and I’m against it, I will stan for Katy Ledecky nevertheless.

Went to Atlanta in 1996. Best vacation I ever had and the biggest event I saw was handball semi finals.

They are a blast in person. Highly recommend if you can go to one.

I love some track & field. The US trials were pretty fun with 2 world records. Also this is insane:

I’m stoked about this. Also due to fuckery by Fronter FIOS I’m somehow paying $10 for a sports package I didn’t want. But it has the Olympics channel, so I’ve been binging on the trials. I really like the guy who won the 5k meters - can’t remember his name now.

New WR in the 400m Hurdles in the Diamond League today. It was the oldest men track record.

The one I saw broke freaking Edwin Moses’ Olympic trial record. Amazing. Few olympians have dominated anything the way he dominated the 400m hurdles.

Less than a week ago Rai Benjamin won the US trials with 46.83, second best all-time.

Then yesterday some Norwegian jabroni comes along and sets a new WR at 46.70. In Oslo! Dude did not get the message about USA#1

Brag: I once got Edwin Moses’s autograph.

Also if we’re including winter, this is the goat Olympic finish:

The announcers put it over the top: “Here comes Diggins! Yes! Yes! YES! YES!”
