olympic games thread

[Jehan]

I'am surprise nobody already open a thread about it.

Nobody follow it? The times of the event if pretty bring as it'searly in the morning.

I've watched some of it (good timezone for here), it's just there hasn't been anything noteworthy to write about yet.

Olympics go too early in Moscow time - I either sleep at this time, or work. And I do not like to watch non-live translations as well.

I must admit that it's very strange to see an Olympics without the presence of the public at the stadiums

Very weird to hear the squeaking of the shoes on the floor. That was a sound i didn't heard since many years.

Kosovo has already won 2 golden medals, we did it quite good this year

Japanese ping-pong ruled. The lady looked like from the old Japanese art. A very special face profile.

I support ROC athletics, because it is definitely wrong that people can't represent their countries only for the reason local crooks tried to cheat.

If you do not want to be deceived, do not sit down to play with cheaters. Could declare a boycott of the IOC, WADA, throw medals in their face and not play by their rules.
Those chosen by God (and I'm not about Jews here) by any means rush to the top.
We need to do our own Olympiads with China. With our judges.
It started in Salt Lake City in 2002. Then, if memory serves, the losing Canadians were drawn to the gold pedestal with our Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze. The trick worked.
Sochi 2014. Canadian judges judge the game of the national teams of Canada (!) And Russia. Do you remember the shifted gate? The trick worked again.
You can also remember the gymnast Nemov.
Now they just openly began to scoff at the best.
I expect that in the future they will start "drowning" our synchronized swimmers. Tendencies in "sports" are visible to the naked eye. On the other hand, we ourselves knew what we were doing by sending athletes to perform as individuals, without a flag, anthem and country. In the future, this may lead to a change in the citizenship of Russian athletes.

Sports competitions are designed to provide a platform that provides the same conditions for those who claim to be the best. As soon as this requirement of ensuring the same conditions for the competitors is neglected, sports competitions die because they lose their meaning. And big sport died. And Olympiada died, if anyone did not understand. Some extracardinal measures can revive interest in sports of great achievements, but, more likely no than yes. It is clear that social inertia will allow for some time to still extract money from the show, but the sport of great achievements will increasingly come down to professional wrestling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling)

An ugly Olympiad, and the episode with our twins is the apotheosis of ugliness. A man in women's competitions, athletes who cannot perform without antidepressants, the persecution of our athletes is completely overt. The monkeys are attacking.
And some countries at the same time manage to ignore the requirements of WADA. Paradox.
It is high time to recognize the IOC as an extremist organization banned in the Russian Federation.
