As what the title says...

Everything in Paris Olympics 2024 will be discussed in this thread...

As for sports i watch...
Basketball...

USA is having a hard time in the exhibition games so the gold is hopefully up for grabs!!!

As for the first game...

Spain is just having a hard time with Australia's abundance of talented international NBA players & with their dynamic guards Giddey & Mills...

I think Spain is the weakest team in their bracket...

Especially when Canada with Shai & Greece with Giannis & Patty Mills turning into MJ when playing for Australia so...

Good luck Hernangomez!!!

Patty Mills... that's a name I haven't heard in a while... I didn't even know he was still playing :P

The Summer Olympics still suck though and I don't care about any of the sports.

Too much spacing on the perimeter & they lack bigs to dominate the paint...

This is quite interesting.

South Korea was wrongly introduced during the Parade of Nations (introducing teams one by one) as per the annoucment said "République populaire démocratique de Corée — Democratic People's Republic of Korea", more commonly known as North Korea. See around 0:30. Anyways, I like the classical music section from Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns.

Other than that, China won gold at the mixed 10 metre air rifle team (by the duo, Shèng Lǐháo & Huáng Yǔtíng) as a sparkling start.

Anyways, South Korea is aiming for the top in archery, fencing, and swimming. Their efforts from the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou are not going to be wasted.

The Greeks almost had them especially with the constant foul trouble of their defenders & as a bigger team overall...& ofc Giannis...

Unfortunately, their missed freethrows & guard issues cost them the game!!!

Canada has some choking issues in these international games...

Thankfully their NBA talented roster saved them...

People around me in real life have varied interests in what sports they like in Paris.

I like golf, particularly ladies' tournaments.

My sister is looking forward to the new sports competition, Breaking, AKA hip hop dancing.

My father likes equestarian events due to how he was raised with asses (the animal, not something that connects the human torso with human legs) when he was a child.

My mother likes gymnastics ever since she was young.

My Filipina roommate seems to enjoy sailing, you know, somthing that doesn't excite her that much since she already has too many unwanted excitements as a nurse in a large and busy retirement home.

My Indonesian roommate is all for badminton.

South Sudan are some scary bunch...

Outrebounded Puerto Rico 55 to 38...
17 offensive rebounds...

Trailed by double digits & struggled & outshot on 3 at one point & yet still came back & win it in double digits...

Eventhough their playstyle is so raw & physical,
They can win games just by that alone...

The definition of outhustling your opponent right there!!!

South Korea won another gold for women's team archery at the Les Invalides (7th arrondissement) .... for the 10th time straight.



China won silver with a relatively famous South Korean archery coach who speaks Chinese.

Anyways, women's team archery is exciting due to each team members generating much more uncomfortable stares and the audience plays the guessing game on what they are thinking about real time.

I'm not really a fan of Summer Olympics, so I usually skip it. Still, it will take the People's Republic of China a few more decades to overtake Germany in the all-time Olympic Games medal table

I'm glad that I skipped the distasteful and Satanic OP ceremony. I hope France will never ever get to host a big sporting event ever again. Not even pink-shirts wearing "kunterbunt" (multi-colored) Germany has staged such grotesque bullshit during the European Football/Soccer Cup. Plus, unlike our neighbors, we didn't have issues with power outages and train lines sabotage

I've only seen a bit of swimming, a bit of basketball and a bit of volleyball, since my parents were watching it. Was impressive defense of the German women against their French counterparts

Find the olympics rather tiresome now purely on the basis of broadcasting rights. Previously I could whatever event I wanted through the BBC for free then Discovery (USA) got the rights and it just became a total shitshow. Tokyo was rubbish due to this and Paris is too. The broadcasting of the different events is so restricted and the scheduling of what we can watch is not even remotely accurate either. Discovery is a greedy embarrassment and the IOC really needs dismantling. I don't even know why the olympics is still delivered in this format anyway, I would quite happily see this event die out if it's not capable of reform with access increased for all. It's far worse than football for corruption.

Arrests have been made regarding the sabotage of the train line, including an 'ultra-left activist' and 45 members of Extinction Rebellion.

Ultra-Left (ultragauche) is Left that don't partake in the electoral process

They have been successful in some instances, notably by inflicting an humiliating defeat to the military in Notre Dame des Landes, and the government has been ramping up efforts against them, with Macron himself signing a decree dissolving the "Soulèvements de la terre" for armed protests and violent actions.


They are numerous enough as with a little time they can mobilize easily ten thousands people to go to some place in the métropole to fight cops.

First of all, those 2 Chinese athletes are not lesbians. Second, it's complicated to explain, but TLDR, the government know that LGBT people exist and they think that pride parades are cringy. No verbose active anti-LGBT directives, but no promotion of LGBT movement either.

I love the Olympics. Too bad European time doesn't help me during the week. I miss absolutely everything during the week (I arrive at almost 4:15 p.m., 9:00 p.m. in France).
But over the weekend I watched a lot. I like everything except rugby.

We are not about getting many medals (Argentina), and this year it is more complicated.
But a medal in women's hockey is always latent. Volleyball has just won Bronze in Tokyo but it is complicated this time.
Football has a horrible coach, but it can get a podium. And several tennis players but not at the level of a decade and a half ago.
Julián Gutiérrez got a diploma in air rifle shooting, which means a lot.

So its the battle of the Cosplayers in the court for France & Japan...

Some anime shit is going on here in this game...

With Hachimura fouling out early on the 4th quarter...

Kawamura Yuki decided to go Ultra Instinct on Wemby & Rudy Gogurt...

But a 4 point play saved Wemby & Gogurt & forced the game to OT!!!

In the end...

The power of anime is not enough to beat the uchuujin of France...

Japan fought so well against Wemby & Gogurt even without their main protagonist Rui Hachimura...

As an anime & basketball fan...

I want them to win since they are expected to get blown out today...

Well fought Japan!!!

Gogurt almost sold that game lmao!!!

Shingeki no Wemby!!!

Kawamura Yuki, Rui Hachimura & his teammates looks like Levi, Erwin & the Survey Corps fighting against the Titans out there!!!

USA is flopping big time in Swimming this year, but nobody is performing well tbh so it's just a shitshow. Anyway, as far as the Anglo-Saxon countries or France take the gold it's fine, Summer McIntosh is coming strong this year and snatched the gold medal for the world's greatest nation.

USA is an obvious gold in basketball, gymnastics, and Track and field (No Russians to milk some medals) there is no contest.
