    Skateboarding is a joke of an Olympic sport. All the medal hopes are about 14, all keep falling off their skateboards. But fun to watch.

      Women’s Team Archery was superb

      S Korea narrowly pipped China to record the country’s 10th straight gold

                The kiss of death from the NZ media for Clareburt. He would been hoping to make the podium.

                  Another attempt at a ratings grab by the Olympics. Let's sell our souls for a couple more X Games events

                      My son is an avid skateboarder and he had zero interest in watching it.

                      If you think that's bad wait for the breakdancing. I shit you not, that is an event.

                          If the Olympics got rid of the dogshit x-game events I could be motivated to let swimmers dog paddle their way to gold medals.

                          Emphasis on could be. But probably not.

                              My kids are 13 and 10, and they don't give a fuck about the Olympics. Maybe one day it will go the way of Telethon. Wait until the Olympic sanctioned E sports begins 🤦🤷

                                  I thought I’d watch to see what it was like. I was sort of expecting a race with tricks. Instead it looked like teenagers practising in a central city anywhere in the world. And they kept falling off their skateboards.

                                  Breakdancing is already dropped for 2028.

                                  My favourite so far is the mountain bike race. That is a great event. Apparently the Olympic course is built more for speed than technical prowess. Still had a spectacular fall though from the French rider.

                                    Arm wrestling should be in there.

                                    That’s one of my new favourite sports. So technical and brutal.

                                          Arm wrestling should be in there.

                                          That’s one of my new favourite sports. So technical and brutal.

                                          Would agree but not a single competitor would pass a drug test.
