2024 Olympics.
 
What events are you looking forward to watching? Athletes you follow?

Honestly, none. I have no interest whatsoever.

Track and Field, Golf, Boxing, and I can go for some Gymnastics...

Swimming. I am also expecting a bump in competition for lanes at the sports pools when we all get inspired to swim more.

Swimming and basketball for me, gymnastics for my wife.

Gymnastics, definitely.

Weightlifting, athletics, for me, my wife loves the high jump.
But we think the whole thing is brilliant and will watch as much as possible.
If we could only get rid of 90% of the talking heads, who think they are the main event, coverage would be perfect.

Track and field

Definitely not Biles
 
Whenever Simone Biles appears, you can count me out. She quit on our country last Olympics and cost the US medals. I can’t believe they are even letting her compete again. Some Olympian…. But what a quitter lol

So the poor kid, who obviously cracked under the expectations and pressure of performing, is nothing more than a medal machine in your book.
Your post says more about your mindset, than Ms. Biles.
Not impressed.

Nope

Not really, I just picture Olympians as athletes that endure it all. Certainly not people that quit on their country.

Wall Climbing. Have you seen it? It is a lot of fun to watch.

coconutmama 07-24-2024 07:07 AM

Aquatics, especially the diving events. Plus equestrian if I get up early enough. Gymnastics, both men’s & women’s. A bit of the triathlon as well.

We might take a peek at some of the new events to see why they are included

Refuse to watch them. Once they made Labron a flag bearer, I'm done with them. Labron wanted all Americans to knee for the anthem. He is anti America!
