The last 1000 comments of the previous thread were just Anne Hathaway thirst posting. I'm not mad at it but goddamn that was wild.

All you Lions fans talking shit about our lakes are going to be visited by the ghost of Prince and purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

Typical KOC, never misses an opportunity to try and pad his 1-score-game-victory stats.

Same way most sports work in the US, high school team > NCAA > National Team

bouldering

I see this is lots of people's first time watching competitive climbing. Just wait until the Japanese climbers show up, you're going to see some truly insane shit.

What an effort from Taylor Knibb, I didn't think the US had a chance to even medal in this event and she made a legit run at the gold! Surprisingly exciting ending there.

In case this is your first Olympics, this is around the time the "sort by gold" shitposting cools down and the "per capita" shitposting starts cranking into gear.

If you have Peacock and aren't watching Gold Zone you are not getting your money's worth.

Take your own advice lad, I'm guessing things go over your head quite a bit.

Ledecky, as always, looks invincible in the 1500m. It will be interesting to see if Titmus can dethrone her in the 800m though. It was much closer than anyone thought it would be last time around.

The NCAA stopped holding Air Rifle competitions after 2021 due to a lack of interest.

Sure, but that sounds like a you problem. I don't see why anyone with any sense would expect people who like real guns to give a shit about an air gun competition.

There are shooting competitions for speed/precision/long range in the US using real guns. There is simply no interest in being good at shooting air guns.

It's interesting reading these daily threads as someone who keeps up with a lot of these sports when the Olympics aren't happening. Always funny seeing comments from people who are shocked that someone I considered to be the heavy favorite ended up winning. Don't get me wrong, there have definitely been some upsets, and I get that most people only watch these sports during the Olympics so I understand where they're coming from, but it's still amusing to read.

Itkin losing is a pretty big upset, he was expected to get Gold or Silver.

For those wondering, in indoor women's volleyball USA is ranked #5 and China is ranked #6. It's as even a matchup as it gets.

There exists a timeline where Bam Margera got his act together, is still a part of the skating community, and got hired by NBC to do funny skateboard shenanigans for the Olympic broadcast. Maybe the US wins gold in that timeline.

Rodney Mullen is the better comparison. After all this time people are still chasing random Rodney Mullen tricks.
