2016 Rio Olympics
« on: July 27, 2016, 11:34:33 AM »
9 days to go.

Athletes village is in shambles but not the first olympics this has been the case. Then theres the crime and daily mosquito gassing.

Anyway, any predictions on medals? What are people looking fwd to?

Hopefully a bit more joyful to watch than Richmonds last 5 games in what has been a bleak year

They should just move them to Athens permanantly and pee off stuff like golf, tennis, 7's rugby, basically any sport that's pinnacle isn't the Olympics, trendy "flavour of the month" and joke sports.......

Those sports you've listed Dio are the reason why I'm not interested

Don't mind the 7's but see where you're coming from. Get rid of the rest

First Aussie medal is a bronze in the Archery.

The Boomers, with Bogut, Mills & Dellavedova all playing, flogged France 87-66 in the first basketball group match.

The Olympics are the most special of all events sporting.
If your not interested, that's your perogitive but I'm loving it.

Really starting to enjoy the games. Great to see the girls get up for a win in the Rugby (always nice to beat NZ)!

Excellent result. I have to admit I got a little emotional. 
We should get some of these girls to train our girls on tackling, determination and gut running.

Does anyone else find Jim Wilson an extremely annoying tv person? Or is it just me?

Leading into it I always say I don't give a stuff. I probably still don't. But once it rolls around I find myself sucked in to the TV, bouncing around the channels watching stuff I wouldn't normally. It was 630am this morning I was watching fencing while getting ready for work. It's a bit of good fun and has a carnival feel about it.

So you wouldn't watch great clean Australian athletes who get paid jack but you sit and watch a bunch of overpaid amateurs every weekend.

How does that work? Surely a typo
