Paris Olympics

[Chuck17]

Swimming finishes tonight think our days in the top 4 are likely numbered

We have a couple of chances in track & field but not many

Will put my hand up and say I got it wrong 

But will confess I do struggle with skateboarding being an Olympic sport 

Are you good with "breaking"?

[Damo]

Skateboarding
Breaking
synchro swimming

Lots of poo events

Following would all be more suited than breaking you would think lol

Bowling
Darts
Snooker/pool
Baseball
Softball
Lacrosse
Cricket
Netball

lauaghable some of these events. Didnt they have baseball at one stage then canned it?

Cricket will be at the next olympics in LA. Cant wait to see Bosnia strut its stuff on the big stage

Baseball is a regional in and out sport depending on where the games are hosted

They reckon bowls and netball will be in for the games in Brisbane


And I kid you not, “flying disc” is being considered

Baseball/softball, lacrosse and cricket all at the next games. As Damo mentioned they’re not core sports. I think the host country gets to suggest 4 sports each games to add to the core ones, which then need to get approved by the Olympic committee.

Ended up finishing 4th. Won a handful of medal the last couple of days but couldn’t snag a gold. Japan on the other hand had a ripping last 2 days. Feel like they added 6-8 golds in 2 days.

In any case, very successful games. Set a new record for golds, can’t ask for much more than that.
