                    This is so fucking stupid - this idea of Japan as a place of ‘dance’ is fucking ridiculous.

                    Literally a place where dance clubs are outlawed!

                      In the history of the modern Olympics, that has to be the lamest closing ceremony ever, and its not because of Corona. Fucking lammmmmme.

                          Aren't they social distancing? I'm sure I heard their initial plans went out the window with covid.

                          Agree it's dull though, why not show technology with drones etc.?

                            Actually, we wanted the rockabilly greaser dancers - fuck, if you are going to rip off ‘alternative’ Tokyo at least do it right!

                            And those fluffybunnies are socially distanced too.

                              This is a personal thing, but I’m also fucking sick of athletes bowing with their hands clasped in front.

                              We aren’t in fucking Thailand.

                                    The us just snuck past China to finish top.

                                    Pretty historically bad performance by their track and field team. Be interesting to see if they bounce back or if the rest of the world are closing in. Maybe covid19 was especially disruptive for their preparations? Didn't seem to hurt the UK though.

                                          Thank you muchly, my new fave thing! Cheese, grace and ham-style dancing, kind of like summer camp for not quite out samurai aerobics and super cute sergeant-majors

                                          edit: my only criticism, too many dicks on the dance floor.
