Just woke up and switched on TV and it’s showing skateboarding. Gosh this is shit.
I have been unimpressed as well. It's actually more exciting to go to the local skate park so I blame this on the way they shot it and/or how they set up the course.If I wanted to see moody teenagers fall arse over tit, I have options in my local supermarket car park.

No.Gosh, someone woke up cranky. I realize it's early but, maybe have a Snickers?
It was a three-woman break for quite a while, but the other two dropped behind and were caught with less than 5K to go. Good for Kiesenhofer for keeping her lead all the way to the finish!Upset in the women’s road race cycling with Austria winning gold!
She has studied for a master's degree in mathematics at the University of Cambridge in England, and a PhD in applied mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. She has also worked as a postdoctoral researcher in mathematics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
France beats US men in basketball. I’m not shocked: Look at some of our best young NBA talent—Greece, Slovenia, Cameroon, France, Canada. The game is truly universal and the US will need to develop a team rather than throw a bunch of players together two weeks before the Games.
I'm not going to complain about less clothing on either the men or the women, but for the record the women don't have to wear bikinis.The men’s beach volleyball players are wearing way too much clothes.
If the women have to play in bikinis “because that’s the way it’s done on the beach” the men should be required to play shirtless.
It’s only fair….![]()
True but I do think our best, young NBA talent is coming from other countries. Maybe I am wrong but it seems they are better at moving the ball around within their offense. In Dallas Luca is a joy to watch because of his understanding of offensive schemes. I really do believe it is stressed more in Europe and South America.The long NBA season that this year ran into the end of July was a big problem, as well as the injuries racked up by major players.
Mandatory speedos!The men’s beach volleyball players are wearing way too much clothes.

I've probably mentioned this before, but "ladies' figure skating" but "women's gymnastics"?
change in terminology from ‘Ladies’ to ‘Women’ throughout the Special Regulations and Technical Rules of all ISU sports is in accord with the recommendation of the IOC Gender Equality Review Project that there be a fair and balanced portrayal (i.e. how women and men are presented and described) in all forms of communication and official documents, including rules and regulations.
I've just been watching bits and pieces, so miscellaneous.
The women's volleyball - why do they have to wear practically thongs?
In the archery yesterday, they had men and women on the same team. More sports should do that.
The equestrian dressage today got me choked up. The horses are so good. The thing where they high step and hesitate (I don't know the technical term) reminded me of merry go round horses. I've only been on a real horse, on a riding trail, once in my life. HER name was Zeke. (I have pictures.) We used a platform to get on. We trotted a couple times. I hurt every time I sat down and stood up the next day. My boss, on the other side of the cubicle wall, laughed (not in a mean way) every time I groaned. She used to compete in jumping. It was her idea for a team activity after work.

I can only watch some things for a minute. It all looks alike (badminton, table tennis, geez).
No synchronized swimming?
They had an event at Miamisburg's skatepark yesterday. A couple of guys famous in the sport were there. Whatever.
