This has turned out to be a pretty good Olympics for Australia. The best ever in fact. 🔥
We've claimed Bottas as an Aussie. Can we claim her too?![]()
Katzberg is the men's winner.

Oops. I misread that. LolKatzberg is the men's winner.Feels weird as a Canadian to win both men and women gold for the same sport in the summer.
Olympic/FIBA rules are more biased towards movement on offense and the 3-point line is shorter. There's no 3 second violation on defense, either, so the US blocked the paint and tried to contain Jokic. Serbia and particularly Bogdanovic was just on a heater from beyond the arc in response. Scoring 3s vs 2s all game will put you up like they were. Serbia is an amazing team. If they were still Yugoslavia, they would have arguably the best team in the world, right up there with the USA.Absolutely no reason for a basketball team with the talent the USA has to trail Serbia by 17
I really don't care that they won that was insulting
With events much more plausible in succeeding the overtake we decided to do it in the Women's Madison, the most unsuspected of eventsWith the gold in the Nacra 17 (sailing), Italy equaled the gold tally of Tokyo 2020, and we have still room to surpass it (14, like L.A. 84 is probably impossible, but let's see)![]()
It felt like watching a show on Nickelodeon. Beneath the Olympics for sure. The guys were cool but it’s not the venue for dance.I finally got a chance to watch the breakdancing. It was cool, but it felt so out of place. It seems more at home in 1984 than 2024.
They were too good for the USA and deserved this win.The female Italvolley just decided to win the gold in a manner so dominant that I almost hate itWhat a perfomance
Now I'll wait the start of the closing ceremony to give a closing statement on my part about Paris 2024![]()
I'm glad I got up early to watch all of it, crazy close...and that finish, whew!The women's gold medal basketball game was intense.
