    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    True. Like you say it's propaganda for making people feel better about their lives - keeping them in their box and letting them live vicariously through athletes. If regular people didn't feel that connection there is no way any country would take sport as seriously just as a game as China...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    I heard about that. I heard Germany scored two goals in 6 seconds or something (you say 14). Even if 14 how is that even possible? I can't open the video, not available in my country or something? I will mess with VPNs later to see if I can watch it. USA are powerhouse in basketball and by far...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    USA were tied with China last night on gold medals. China must have won one today. That could all change after the track and field tonight too given USA's (cough PEDS cough) dominance in that sport at this Olympics.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    True have to take that into account. They say the Olympics are a net negative for countries financially, but SOMETIMES the legacy they leave can't really be measured in finance. Prestige and future sporting improvement. For instance, here in the UK I am sure our performance in Olympics has...

    Handball looks good. I think it was Messi983 who said handball players play as inverted wingers now, similar to footballers. Seem true. Could they play futsal on handball courts? They look eerily similar, though the dimensions may be different? They should introduce futsal or 7 a side football...

    Gonna miss a lot of it cos of Community Shield. I'd like to have watched the full match. France doing well though in the team events eh? Silver in men's football, gold in men's volleyball, silver or gold in women's handball.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    So according to wikipedia this is the lineup for the finals on the last night of athletics (not including women's marathon tomorrow). I haven't looked on olympics.com to give the exact order and times. Men: 800m, 5000m, 4 times 400m relay, high jump Women: 1500m, 100m hurdles, 4 times 400m...

    If they land perfectly on their feet after the routine it counts as a three-pointer.

    Congrats France. The big Polish server guy did his best to keep Poland in it in that third set.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    The main thing I learned from volleyball today is that outside hitters hate losing points to setters. That's what the commentator said anyway.

    16 - Fermín López

    Thanks mate. I can be a dick sometimes when in a mood, I am Scottish after all and we can be miserable bastards at times lol. But generally I try to be nice to people if they are nice to me. Put it this way - your English is miles better than my (insert your native language).

    Yeah that is so beautiful to see. You can tell they really respect each other. They both will really have wanted to win but are equally happy for their rival/friend.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    Yeah maybe. Messi983 has clarified it for me anyway. I think I heard China talking their own language. I know I sound a total dick saying this as a native English speaker, but English is the universal language really so guess it makes sense that that is the most common language different...
