August 5, 20241 yr I've been watching the Olympics off and on and this morning I had a choice of watching men's half court basketball or women's volley ball. I decided on women's volleyball. I like their sports wear better. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

August 5, 20241 yr Moderator Noel, this photo appeared on several British sites including the BBC. I think it would be best if you concentrated on the lady on the left rather than the one on the right. 😁 Ray (Cheshire, England).

August 5, 20241 yr Administrators @Ray Proudfoot What is the one on the right wearing? 2 band-aids and a hockey puck?

August 5, 20241 yr Moderator @charliearon, 😁 not far off! The lady on the left must be feeling the cold. Much cooler than the Middle East. 🥵 Ray (Cheshire, England).

Some people say, that rather than Noels testosterone diminishing as he has aged, it has in fact quadrupled in comparison to his teenage years. Unless he's on mega doses of TRT, of course. 😵💪
August 6, 20241 yr Moderator Kristen Faulkner's win in the Women's Road Race was one for the ages. Her attack in the last 3km was a masterful move. Even more amazing is that the three she left behind were the reigning World Time Trial Champion, the reigning Olympic Time Trial Champion, and the Winners of all three Women's Grand Tours; the Tour of Italy, the Tour de France, and the Tour of Spain.

August 8, 20241 yr I just don't get why they have so many 'Sports' they have to host, Trampoline, Break Dancing, Skate Boarding, Surfing etc!!! no wonder no one wants to host the Olympics anymore. Sorry but the Trampoline is something you practice to make you better at a real sport, like Gymnastics or High Diving or Freestyle Skiing etc Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

August 8, 20241 yr Moderator Americans better brace themselves. Cricket is coming in 2028. 😁 Short Leg? Long Leg? Googly? Silly Mid-Off? 🤣 Get used to a whole new language! And no, there are no quarterbacks in cricket. 😉 Ray (Cheshire, England).

August 8, 20241 yr Finland do wife carrying. That would be a good one. Then there's Camel jumping in Yemen. And the old favorite, toe wrestling.

But what I'll remember her for is desecrating my nation's flag. She spread it on the ground and laid down on it as if it were a beach blanket. Our Olympians are briefed on flag etiquette. It should be displayed with the stars on the right. It should not be worn as a garment. It should never touch the ground. I can understand displaying the stars on the left or, as I saw it once, with the star field upside down in the excitement of the moment. But spreading it on the ground and lying down on top of it takes away her moment of victory for someone who spent 26 years defending that flag and doing so in two wars. Shame on her!
