I guess we need a Summer Olympics thread…?

I doubt there are enough “olympic level” skaters assuming each country is restricted to X number of participants and X is a low number, especially in something like women street skating

Been watching replays all day , switched over to the local news then find out I missed the big WIN!!! :canada: :canada: :canada:

The top women were hitting the big rail. Women skating is only going to get better. One of the top medal contenders is only 13!

I watched some of the men’s and every single attempted trick I saw was a wipeout. 5/5 then I got bored and moved on.

I read the wiki of the American skater who finished 2nd and he participated in the X games when he was 11. This gives me just 7 years till I can tell my son he’s a disappointment!

btw the youngest olympian in Tokyo is a 12 year old table tennis player from Syria

We must have been watching at the same time

two swimming finals coming up now if anyone interested.

I’d guess some team sport where it would be easy to have some really young or really old scrub that just stays on the bench the whole time, but still gets the medal.

congrats to all the ■■■■■■ peaty wins easily

Will give options for the actual bet once I pick a sport. In case I picked a sport with no bets, I will go with whatever has the second-most votes.

Good god, could we at least keep this one thread fun?

YOU THINK LOSING IS FUN?

How bout lawn bowling

Great effort by her should be a great future contender

Ledecky seems like a pretty damn likable person. Can’t be easy to smile through that loss after posting a near world record time.
