Breakdancing is on, excuse me Breaking
We've hit rock bottom
Absolute fucking shambles
It's like watching a Bar Mitzvah
Breaking? Broken

The farce may have been necessary. And thanks to an Australian we may not see this type of cringe again:

I only watched the first few holes in Ko's round. However what I saw was impressive. She got into real trouble on 2 of them but calmly got out of trouble and made par. Then she drove well and made an easy birdie. I am not surprised to see her tied for first this morning.

Just got a chance to watch the men's basketball SF, USA vs Serbia. Wow that was a great game. Jokic was superb as the fulcrum of their offense, the Serbs pass and shoot extremely well. The US left it extremely late but standout performances from Steph, LeBron and Embiid in particular got them home

@barbarian would it help if we let them do the kayaks over like 8 different distances? And then like backwards. For 8 different distances. And then with like 2 short paddles. With 8 different distances.
And it could a week. And like 3 countries could get a million medals.

I mean you joke, but kayaking kind of does that. Four different distances, and then they do one where you use a different paddle and have to kneel (again four distances).
Then they do one with someone else. Then one with three other people.
It's not swimming, but it's closer to swimming than any other sport. Add in a relay of some kind and you're pretty much there.
And at least the swimmers can fill eight lanes. Some of the kayaking sprint races barely have enough for heats.

It's funny how most of the sports we win medals in, we are sitting down. Kayaking, Rowing, Cycling and Sailing.

Are those breakdancing videos legit? It's an actual competitor and not some warm-up comic act? Ive seen better breakdancing from kids in shopping centres. Must be a pisstake.

Dame Lisa Carrington cruises into the final with a faster time than Aimee Fisher.
It's going to be a great battle between them in the final.

Carrington will win. The pressure will be too much for Fisher. I hope they can go 1-2
