Several of y'all probably watched USA's Taryn Kloth who was a standout for Creighton.

Women's beach vb > men's beach vb. In men's the spike power is just too much and there is no cat and mouse action. In women's the volleying back and forth is amazing. One of the few sports where women's is way more entertaining.

That was the worst opening ceremony of all time. It didn’t even look like an opening ceremony. I’m not sure what I was watching.

Celine Dion was awesome. Most of the rest of it was weird. Not good weird either.

Men's Sabre Gold Medal match got interesting after Oh from Korea had a 14-5 lead (play to 15) and watched it dwindle to 14-11, with several reviews, before finally closing out Ferjani from Tunisia. Excellent match!

Men's beachvb, Cuba's 6'9" Alayo is unstoppable. Not sure if he's just playing out of his mind, but nobody can stop him if this is his normal. Sheesh.

SWE vs AUS men's beach volleyball is awesome!

[Kung Wu]

I do enjoy pursuit cycling (all track cycling really) ...

U S A! U S A!

Oh yeah, big fan of cycling too!

[Kung Wu]

Men's beach volleyball is cool, because any sport where you can wear a baseball cap backwards is my kinda sport. Women's beach volleyball is awesome for a completely different reason.

[Kung Wu]

Screw politics during the Olympics. Screw ALL politicians and politically motivated messages put out by anyone. I just wanna watch some high level sports!

USA men's soccer beating the snot out of New Zealand 4-0 and its not over yet. Wow

Unless someone can show that actual tweet on X, I don't think it's real. It's not on her timeline.

WTF?

The first muck up of the 2024 Olympics comes in road racing (cycling) where the women's time trial is being contested this morning. Zero thought put into the course design where in several sharp turns the riders must transition from asphalt to cobblestone and the rain has made those turns basically impossible to navigate. Many, many ladies have crashed, some more than once. It's taken out both American riders (certainly cost the favorite any chance at a gold medal) and several other medal contenders as well. One wonders if the course designer was a DEI hire because they had no idea what they were doing. Once every 4 years.....sad.

The rain certainly didn't help, but I don't know what the hell was going on with the drag queen last supper, or whatever the hell that was but then I didn't realize the Olympic Motto had been modified to read Citius, Altius, Fortius, Cerritulus.

I do enjoy pursuit cycling (all track cycling really), archery, rowing events (with and without coxswain) and fencing as mostly Olympic only events in addition to the usual superstar events like swimming and track and field.

U S A! U S A!
