I don’t think straight up drinking would be interesting enough to watch. A better idea would be to make it the first event of the decathlon imo.
Drinking + firearms is a classic funtime combo.

Just add some cigarettes and you’ve got an ATF triathlon.
Im on board actually. Ive watched Beerfest more times than Super Troopers
As if you completely ignored my post
Beerfest would be elite if not for the Monique storyline.
Just saw some highlights and that is crazy the field they play on. At least they should have put grass over the entire infield rather than leave the dirt. It’s not like Japan has a shortage of baseball fields that they couldn’t have made one a bit more softball friendly for a few weeks.
Bit worried about them considering they have some superstars in their team. Radradra has come over from 15s and is probably a top 10 player in the world.
Apparently she wasn’t even training in anything resembling a proper facility, and her government wasn’t supporting her at all.

I’m going to have to disagree with her gym not being proper. Looking through training videos she has plenty of proper equipment and teammates/coaches in the background of lifting videos. It is outside, but that’s only one training location (others are in gyms) and I don’t think being outside while lifting is too out of normal https://www.instagram.com/hidilyndiaz/
Not going to speak towards the government support because it could be political and I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole.
Watch the family of the Tunisian gold medallist completely losing their shit (in a good way) during the race:

Seems like the crowd has spoken. Men’s 3-meter springboard synchronized diving. The time listed is 11pm Tuesday, so I will probably place my bet on Tuesday afternoon.
Who should I bet on?
- China -275
- Great Britain +300
- Russian Olympic Committee +1200
- Germany +1400
- Mexico +2800
- USA +2500
- Italy +20000
- Japan +20000

Disclaimer: even though the brother of one of my best friends competed in springboard diving on a national level in his early teens, I haven’t got any clue about the sport at all.
I’m solely basing my vote on how dominate the women were. They looked like they shit together it was crazy. I know it doesn’t mean it will translate to the men but one of the Chinese divers won in 2016 by 18 points over the US and the last time China didn’t gold was 2000(and that was silver).
Women’s triathlon delayed due to the typhoon. Can’t imagine they’ll get it in today, there are gale warnings through to sunrise Wednesday.
EDIT: Check that, they’re about to go. This could be wild.
Today’s Schedule. Softball medal games and women’s mountain bike should be good.
All times are eastern.

Hopefully the typhoon doesn’t lead to any postponements. Mountain bike course could be extra nasty today.
I think like half of Japan’s team is comprised of imports from New Zealand.
