Tokyo COVympics: July 23 to August 8

I give that guy credit.... He's using his 15 minutes very efficiently... 3 minutes every two years while on a trip that 99.999992% of the world can only dream about...

Dude is my hero...
 
The USA...The most dominant country in the history of the Olympics. More athletes than probably 33% of combined island nations, but the uniforms always suck. They look like they just got out of prison with the striped shirts.
 
I just learned that a coworker of mine has a niece or cousins (I wasn’t paying really close attention) on the women’s US gymnastics team. She’s the mookie-bait from St. Paul.

So lets talk about some of the sports....

Not a big fan of adding more and more judged sports....

But the odd one 3x3 basketball. How in the world did pick up basketball make it as a Olympic sport???? This is NOT basketball- this is a small, half court, game, played like the racket games- with rounds.

US didn't even qualify on the men's side, they got upset in qualifiers. The team was Robbie Hummel (currently a broadcaster), Dominique Jones (playing in China), Joey King (looks like he last played 5x5 in 2017 in Finland and has been doing 3x3 tournaments since), and Kareem Maddox (on and off between radio/podcast production and playing in Europe).

I would love to see a super team of LeBron, Steph, Kawhi, and Durant out there.

Can we get Tug-of-War back as a sport? Croquet? Motor boating?



Also, the athletes have been having fun testing the cardboard beds... https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdWdmm4q/
 
Unwatchable because of commentary, as always.

Where do they get these morons? Just talk about the sport and the event.

With so many sports to accommodate, it not surprising that the next bid was more an appointment. What are you going to do with a 3x3 basketball arena? Unless it's played outdoors- which it should be. Heck, watching some of the fluff pieces, Tokyo has a brand new field hockey stadium- what are they going to do what that?? It's huge, and nobody will ever be able to watch a match. Not that I'm suggesting to get rid of field hockey- but adding MORE events that need it's own, unique stadium seems pretty dumb.
