I guess we need a Summer Olympics thread…?

i wonder if he takes the glasses off to fuck. my girl does, but only like 90% of the time :thinking:

like if i’m fucking olympic chicks, i’m gonna wanna see!

Prob has to. He’s a meme now with the glasses, so they want to see him with glasses on to complete the fantasy.

Do they use apps find hookups these days or is it mostly done the old fashioned way?

Hand signals in the commons area, no other communication necessary

finally found an athlete i can relate to. Lane 3 is my new hero.

women crushed at least

Isn’t the whole thing though that he takes off his glasses to become Superman/compete? I would think the fantasy would be him taking off the glasses and then just turning into this sex machine.

Yah, 95% of my Olympic viewing is stuff I’d basically never watch otherwise.

Archery, BMX, skating, swimming, track, gymnastics

For team sports: volleyball, water polo, handball, rugby 7s

Keeps them on for 80% of the time, acting all shy and timid and partner is like wtf? Then takes them off and absolutely ravages them and both melt in a pool of euphoria.

At least that’s how I wrote it in my fanfic.

I think I’d enjoy fencing more if competitors were building fences under a time constraint.

Not as prestigious as the Abe Lincoln Classic though.

Pretty great interview with Marty here as he goes into detail about winning both the cup and the gold medal. Including how he didn’t feel he could really be one of the greatest until he won the gold medal in 2002 even though by that point he had already won 2 Stanley Cups and was about to start his third Stanley Cup run the next year. He mentions that being showcased on the international stage like that really opened up his ability to be recognized, and he went on a tear of 4 in 5 Vezinas immediately after winning the gold.

Very cool interview.

Don’t know about the straights, but I know tgat Grindr disables geolocation and a few other features inside the village because bad actors were using the apps to discover and narc on folks from countries where homosexuality is illegal.

they didn’t use it the same way as the LITERAL backdrop

e.g., I have zero interest in any form of volleyball but you can’t top this shit:

Any ideas what kind of traffic spike Grindr sees at Olympics? RNC levels?

Totally. Stuff like this just hits that “shared humanity” bone differently.

Like, Japan has the history to do it, but it wasn’t like they were doing BMX Mountain Bike racing through Torii Gates and finishing in front of the temple.

I wish they’d have spent a lot more time on the decathlon. If there’s no American in the running, our coverage just ignores it. Everyone else at the Olympics is such a specialist. I want to see the competition among all-around athletes.

This claims 129% increase in Rio

And the servers crashed during London, and it was blamed on increased traffic

If you want proof that the “everyone jump at the same time” picture never works. Well, the 4 highest jumpers in the world couldn’t even make it work.

i would like to see an all-around competition that encompasses all type of Olympic events, not just track ones. Table tennis, archery, weightlifting etc
