**** 2024 Olympics In- Game Thread ****

[KJ]

That would be in 2026. Maybe.

No they said it tested too high for e coli today so events would have been postponed

 

[pressitup]

a lot of soy in France

 

[emkee]

 

[pressitup]

Antarctica isn't properly represented.

 

[CPA-hole]

Badminton, Horse dancing and women's judo on right now. LFG!

 

[CPA-hole]

Dude volleyball time.

This is a wet TT here. Pretty fucking short too.
Same distance as the women I heard? Wtf

 

[twinkie13]

Wout Van Art just shredded it. Those negative splits were nasty. Maybe Remco gets him but that should hold

 

[Inspekdah]

I always feel bad about not keeping up with the Olympics. But fuck those freaks and France and the committee for allowing that shit show to happen.

 

[Inspekdah]

Antarctica isn't properly represented.

That’s because it’s an ice wall

I asked my wife how many coaches she had for the volleyball team @ Tech.
"One main coach and an assistant"

I then read this to her from the USA Volleyball site.

Head Coach: Karch Kiraly
Assistant Coaches: Tama Miyashiro, Erin Virtue, Alfee Reft
Consultant Coach: Marv Dunphy
Physical Therapist/Athletic Trainer: Kara Kessans
Strength & Conditioning Coach: Brandon Siakel
Performance Analyst: Rianne Verhoek
Team Leader: Coley Pawlikowski
Mental Performance Coach: Katy Stanfill
Culture Consultant: Sue Enquist
Dietitian: Shawn Hueglin
Massage Therapist: Ricardo Brambila
Team Doctor: Dr. Lori Boyajian-O’Neill

When I played small time cbb it was 1 assistant and 1 ga. Basketball is even worse both pro and cbb. They take up 2 rows around bench now. Ridiculous

Alright, soccer?

Whats the best up?

Alright, soccer?

Two bets for me today

USA ML in soccer (laid -260 but must win and great team to get it against)

SGA over 21.5 points

Greece/Canada basketball should be a fun watch. Plenty of studs on Canada against Greek freak

 

[twinkie13]

Bang 2-0

 

[KJ]

Best thing on right now is Nadal/Alcaraz playing doubles, awesome to watch

They just won the first set in a tiebreaker

 

[KJ]

Sucks I only have it on streaming

 

[cubsker]

Tennis
Hoops

Any other non Yag sports?

 

[twinkie13]

I’m not at a Peacock pad

 

[KJ]

I’m not at a Peacock pad

I just went to nbcsports.com, it asks for the cable provider and links to the 'Cock through cable

 

[pressitup]

links to the 'Cock through cable

just like Linda Lovelace.

couldn't help it.

Day #2

[KJ]

Something to remember about these group stage basketball games is point differential matters so you won't see the typical dribble it out to end the games until knockouts

 

[KJ]

Welp AD and Embiid both have flu symptoms, not sure that's a good thing against Joker

 

[twinkie13]

Embiid height at 2.13 meters always trips me out

 

[twinkie13]

How lazy was that?

They gonna lose

 

[KJ]

There is no chemistry

These guys are on a glorified vacation but get to represent something that sounds cool which actually makes sense when they're making 40 mil plus/year and just need some sense of purpose beyond the entertainment of the NBA

 

[KJ]

Really this is just like Euros where I just wanted City players to not get hurt

No Booker or Durant injuries please, we actually signed a point guard yesterday

 

[KJ]

That was a nice shoulder tackle, proper technique in the big 12

 

[twinkie13]

I have so much respect for D Wade as a player.

Man he’s terrible as a commentator

 

[KJ]

Love the beach volleyball but these two are certainly no Misty/Kerri. Hope they show the Brazilians too

[pressitup]

took:

J. Cristian +100
D. Vekic +102
Svitolina -119

 

[Inspekdah]

Joker destroying Nadal. Will add him with 30%s boosts to win now... might parlay with US Mens BBall.

He wants this title, only reason he's playing

Nadal knows his path to gold is with Alcaraz anyway and I'm pretty convinced Carlos wants the doubles with Rafa more than anything

Joker is the wise bet imo

Yes Carlos > Joker on clay and form wise right now but the doubles angle is what I'm thinking.

 

[KJ]

I only have the tv on some Olympics for background noise right now but this mountain biking over rocks and taking jumps is pretty entertaining

 

[twinkie13]

The Brit that won is probably the best descender on a road bike. He comes from this, just amazing how these guys cross over to different disciplines more now

I thought I remembered that name from the Tour de France, that event was awesome.

I actually enjoyed that scandalous bike bump

Handled it like the champ he is

 

[KJ]

According to @gunner4ever every gold medal has a piece of the Eifel Tower in it which is pretty cool but also...

Where do you get random pieces of the Eifel Tower from? I hope it's not just chipping off pieces from the base

In France against a French rider, and they paint him a as dick(he’s not)…..lucky that’s all he got. But yea, pretty classless.
It was a bike move and he had a tire puncture.
Fuck off frogs, and I’m of predominately French heritage

I enjoy the crazy stuff

Better than social media where everyone's still stuck on something about the Opening ceremony

Give me some beach volleyball and swimming please

Might pull a hammy just getting pumped for track next week

 

[KJ]

Have more than expected via live wagers on USA women team total over in this shit

 

[~Utah]

Hello friends

 

[KJ]

I need one more assist from Breana Stewart to hit a +700 and don't think she's getting back in

 

[twinkie13]

[twinkie13]

Aussie team great assets
