BJJ not being in the olympics is still baffling

No non profit international body in bjj. And not a lot of national bodies. tbh as skilled as it is as a martial art and its interesting to learn, to a lot of people it will be bore them to tears to watch (sounds strange with sports like curling in the winter Olympics but believe me)

Woah, who is the PAWG singer?

angele, a popular belgian singer

If proper funds were invested nigeria or ghana would kill it at rugby

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Stewie ain't goin anywhere


You might see 5 new faces for the next squad and I'm still not 100% convinced JuJu will be one of them even though the game is in LA.

They generally run it back just with tweaks here and there.

Caitlin and Angel maybe.

Juju is a volume scorer...but if she can be like how Carmelo was for men's hoops, it might work.

I'd love to see SCar's Fulwiley and her speed. They need Hammond or Staley as HC. Team won on form but they're getting old and need youth. Stewie/A'ja are elite but the rest of the roster needs to be evaluated fr.

I just realized they didn't really do the final medley with highlights over the original Olympics theme.

I don't think they did it last time either.

 

[CHICAGO]

They trotted out Bob Costas and Al Michaels? they were using Al’s voice with AI to recap stuff

COSTAS ON POINT AS USUAL.

THE OLYMPICS ARE BACK

That I'm not sure how it will go. Whole thing should have been in mexico

in 2002 japan and south korea held the world cup together, each country had 10 stadiums and 4 groups . This was when there were only 32 teams

2028 there will be 48

So it will be somewhat the same each country gets 4 groups(16 teams)

The Games are really over.

 

[MenacingMonk]

I’ll be in here until the thread is taken down, but it was cool to post with yall and enjoy the games. I’m glad I got back into it when the 2021* games started. It’s such a fun spectacle and glad I got to see most of the tv events

Hopefully I can see the 2028 games and attend some events out here. Likely gonna be a once in a lifetime experience and I gotta see some events live.

 

[MenacingMonk]

NBC Nightly News calling the women’s bball finals game an instant classic. That shyt was until the final 3-4 minutes.
