Whoever thought breakdancing is an Olympic sport should see a doctor or a therapist or something. I keep expecting someone to run on the stage and try to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre on the contestants! cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time ever I have not watched any live sporting events at the Olympics just the highlights. The USA messing the 4x100metres relay was great for us to win the Bronze. The Ladies went one better winning silver, thoroughly enjoyed both races. Edited August 10 by cstand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few clips on X but tbh other than the London Games I've never really been that bothered about them. I did unfortunately see the opening ceremony and subsequent apology however. Regardless of what they were hoping to achieve compared to previous opening ceremonies that show off the hosting country brilliantly, it was just all a bit sad and pathetic.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I'm not entirly sure that it wasn't the malevolent world golfist conspiracy that included breakdancing so golf wasn't the most unworthy inclusion. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got some talent, but no more than a 50 year old dad at a wedding after a few too many, breaking out some of the moves that wowed all the girls in the 80s. i had high hopes for break dancing, cos when you see it in britains got talent, there’s some really impressive athleticism, and it can look great. but what the f*** is this, seriously?! cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The Olympics is mostly about the Athletics for me. Was able to watch all the evening coverage and there were some amazing action. The men's 100m, 400m and 1500m were all incredible races. Women's 1500m last night was incredible too. Still can't get over how quick the women's 400m hurdles was. She would have just missed out on qualification for the 400m final with that time. Some great relays too, thought mixed relay is a great idea. How good/dodgy must the Soviet 4x400 have been to be able to run faster than that American team last night. Some good field action too. India vs Pakistan javelin was unexpected. Apart from the odd superstar athlete who is a bit full of themselves, most the athletes are pretty normal and down to earth. Whilst their performances are totally professional, their open and honest interviews are refreshingly amateur. Really enjoyed the coverage too. Gaby Logan is an excellent presenter. Michael Johnson is maybe the best pundit in any sport. Denise Lewis is brilliant too and she is 51, not 31! Jess Enis is ok, probably not needed as already a heptathlete there, but she does a reasonable job. Always liked Cram, a worthy successor to the legendary Brendan Foster. Get ready for some late nights in LA. FlyBritishMidland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
