⚽ Sports 2024 Paris Olympics

[Random Encounter]

This is probably not a thread you'd typically see on a site like this from a guy like me, but I typically get pretty hyped for the Olympics every four years. I follow the martial sports like taekwondo, archery, and judo. But I also get caught up watching a lot of the track and field events too. I'm also curious to see their newest event... breakdancing.

Is anyone else here planning on following the games?

I hadn't planned on it, but I do like watching the same stuff you do- martial arts and archery. I also like watching fencing! I used to want to take fencing lessons, must be the RDM in me.

I heard Snoop Dogg will be doing some torch-walking in Paris.

NBC apparently can't handle a little artistic expression. Comparison of the Olympic opening broadcast vs. the one shown in Australia.

The best part of the Olympics, Gojira's performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJuZ5aJiXDg

The worst part of the Olympics, who the fuck decided Australia could break dance, never mind how Break dancing made the Olympics?

[Kustom]

Definitely good that we wont be letting that occur on our soil for the next games. I'll take another Gojira show, though.

There were some really great performances during the breakdancing event. This, hilariously, was not one of them.

If someone's gotta lose, I guess the best way to do it is with BDE like this.
