Re: Paris Olympics
For pure entertainment I recon the bouldering has been the best thing I've watched these Olympics so far.
With the alternatives being the Yanks or the Frogs I'll cheer on the Pom in the men's final

Watching the lead now. Jeez, not only is it very very impressive what they're doing (to a layman such as I), but it's heart-in-mouth to watch as well.RobYob wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 9:48 am For pure entertainment I recon the bouldering has been the best thing I've watched these Olympics so far.

Was great to see the Indonesian win the speed climb by a heartbeat yesterday . I think one of the semi finals was decided by two thousandths of a second...

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Paris Olympics
I don't know anything about basketball but for entertainment that final was epic
Re: Paris Olympics
Yeah - the Serbia USA semi final was the better game but the last 5 mins last night was epic.
Curry’s last 4 3 point scores were superb. Stepped up when he needed to

Not looking forward to tomorrow night - there'll be the inevitable sense of loss and scrolling through the TV guide wondering what the hell we're supposed to watch.
Re: Paris Olympics
Not sure who this band are but they seem to be miming. To a different song to the one playing.
Re: Paris Olympics
I thought the opera dude, standing in the ring earlier , was miming too
