Badminton is worse
I mean at least it makes sense. Have you watched handball? It seems almost entirely random.
I think they play it in gym class nowadays so the kids know the rules. My son was telling me what was going on. I still zoned out immediately.
some of those volleys are entertaining at least

It's a European thing I believe, makes as much sense to me as baseball...

They should have coconuts instead of hobby horses…

Man, that wasn't pretty form but exciting for sure
No joke.
Conversely, did you see the women's synchronized swimming routine? That was pretty impressive.

For T&F it's always about endorsements. Nice house and pool, but far from 'stunning' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/o...hardson-house-florida-home-olympics-2024.html
I figured it was sponsors/endorsements. IDK, that place looks pretty nice to me, lol

and that side eye look from the Bednarek. yikes.
On the other hand, while he may be cocky and arrogant, Lyles got COVID and 2 days later still ran for a Bronze medal. Who knows what would have been if he had been at 100%.

The entry of Sydney and Holloway in their hurdling events was stark contrast, maybe I'm old school, but the theatrics and show sorta turn me off. Also didn't like all the talk afterwards about Lyles have COVID and asthma, sounded like sour grapes, also he seemed fine in the post-race interview.
But...he does have covid & asthma. Do you watch the paralympics and say, "I'm tired of that guy saying he has no feet?"
You can dislike Lyles. Being honest I was not sad he didn't win. And yes he is cocky AF. But dude has covid. It killed how many millions if people worldwide? The fact he still got a bronze is nothing short of remarkable, regardless of you liking him.

I put the Olympics on during my Zwift ride this morning and ended up watching the women’s Basketball semi final with the US and Australia. Wasn’t even close.
Then before dinner I was watching the other semi final women’s game and France won.
This means both the men’s and women’s hold medal BBall games will be between USA and France. Very cool.
