Official Tokyo 2021 Olympics thread

Giannis scored 50 to close out the finals series, with elite defense, and it feels as if the sports media and players are celebrating this group stage game by Luka more. It's pathetic

He's a great player but they are pushing him to be the face soooo desperately.

its easier to not talk about us losing in the olympics for the first time since 2004

I was watching olympic primetime and mike tirico was bringing up how 3 players just came over, and the condensed nba season like france didn't have like 8 nba players and ish

Huston, ranked no. 1 in the world in men's street skating, came seventh in Sunday's event in a major upset after he failed to land any of his last four tricks.

Man, this water polo is no joke. They are doing some hardcore wrestling in that pool. That and treading water/ etc has to be crazy.

Bloody noses and everything in that pool

The sport I discovered in college, both because our team was highly ranked and because they all had the V-cut ....then I realized how lit that shyt was and used to hit 2-3 matches each season

Yeah, skating isn't really a sport of execution, it's a sport of failure. Even seasoned skaters fail tricks 60% of the time. Being in the olympics now though should help with refining that culture tho. I'm sure dudes didn't specifically train for this particular olympic course for months on end, but that may change next time.
