Tokyo Olympics

[stevej37]

Today is the final day...and I have barely watched any of it.
Other years..I've watched as much as possible.
One evening I watched MLB instead...crazy.

Has anyone else been interested in it this year?

[Scott Douglas]

Yes, I watched quite a bit of it. Since our daughter lives over there it was interesting to see from a weather standpoint. The heat and humidity is brutal according to our daughter. There were some impressive performances based on that alone.

[Sooner or later]

I watched a lot of swimming and track. Very little of anything else.

I wanted to watch womens gymnastics to see Simone perform.
When she dropped out...I lost interest.

I watched quite a bit but had to stop after a wrist injury.

Tokyo managed to hold the games and made it a success. Hats off to them.

I figured you gentlemen would be all about Womens Beach Volleyball

I had no interest in the athlete's political agenda and the woke agenda in the commercials.

[Seahawk]

Time differences made it hard.

I DVR'd the stuff I like to watch, nearly all track and field events.

I have zero interest in Olympic soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, golf, etc.. men or women.

Allyson Felix made the Olympics, the parts I watched, for me. That and the young lady from Wisconsin that earned the bronze in the marathon.

You, the people you are performing against and the clock.

I love it.

Seeing all the empty seats in the various venues raised a question. Were some, or maybe most, of these sites built specifically to host Olympic events? Will they be demolished once the games are over, or will they be re-purposed for some other use?

Try switching over to the left hand.

I enjoy the field events (I was a 4 year track star), but shy away from the judged competitions.

[WPOZZZ]

I watched most of it. I really liked Rugby7s, and 3x3 basketball. Didn't understand Skateboard Street. And those Japanese skateboarders were something else! The women's Skateboard Park Gold, Silver and Bronze were 19, 12, and 13!

I watched it as much as I could, I love the olympics except the woke crap, and games judged on “feelings”. Too bad about the time difference as I missed a lot. I wish there was a better way to watch, as I really wanted to see combat sports and only got to see boxing once.

Congrats Canada for a great performance.

Haven't been places with a TV much lately.
Saw what was probably replays of some pedal bike stuff with rythym sections and jumps.
Saw some coverage where the talking heads were telling how unfair it was that a group of players that in reality get payed more, were getting payed less in this fantasy news land.

Personally some of my favourite olympics are in the winter, various skate races especially.

i love the olympics. i watched as much highlight as i could on the Tube.

been busy and stuff. overall, i got the feeling the USA kicked some A.

[Rikao4]

he's not turning his back on the podium..

Diving was interesting as well...
and just thankful for the young Lady..
who just freaking loves this place..

the BMX bike stuff was interesting to watch..
but a Olympic sport..?
Skateboarding came thru with the classic..
'ooccccccccccchh that will hurt.'.
hurt hell...

fella all but crawled away..

I didn't watch very much of the games. I enjoyed the Bob Costas recap though. He didn't have my full attention, but it seemed to me that he ripped into Biles. Maybe I misinterpreted what he was trying to convey.

NBC is the big loser in this thing.

as an old scrummer I really enjoyed watching the 7's!

I was wondering how Tokyo will make up for or even survive the loss of revenue from having no ticket sales, no hotel bookings and no merch sales.
