Paris Olympics

I used to like to play badminton, but watching Olympic badminton isn't good for me.

What an absolute clap-back!

Simone wins the internet clap-
back Gold medal.

That woman just can’t stop winning.

So much winning

I have a solution. The Transolympic Games.

 

[HisArpy]

I have a solution - The Transylvania Games. 10 days. 11 nights, 1 vampire, and several planeloads of victims, er... competitors, trying to win the Garlic medal.

All fizzed.

Food drama at the Olympic Village!
I guess you have to complain about something, but more than a few athletes, including a lot of the medalists, are complaining about the food served at the Olympic Village.
The food service was outsourced to "Woke" Sodexo (which does major catering around the world) but Sodexo was hamstrung by contractual demands to lower the "carbon footprint" by local sourcing all food (150 mile limit beyond the village).
The result?

• Strict egg rationing at breakfast (the biggest complaint from nearly all athletes).
• Odd carbohydrate choices
• Evidently Asians prefer rice dishes? Who knew?
• Not enough salt

Two countries (Great Britain and Korea) immediately sprung into action, the UK dispatching a crack team of British chefs and British foodstuffs to feed their starving athletes, and Team Korea dispatching chefs, pallets of rice and most importantly Kimchi, the national staple of the Korean diet.
Not all bad news, though.

Athletes are raving about the Incredible Olympic Chocolate Muffin....whoever came up with this particular recipe is guaranteed a job as a pastry chef at a Michelin restaurant after the Games. Athletes are going out of their way to tell the world how good it is.

Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen (who competed in prime time last night) and the US Colin Duffy have made TikTok videos about their muffin addiction. You can't buy publicity like that!

we use the game as a fun way to track your many racial rationalizations.

No. You use it to track your fantasies and project your melancholic emotional distress as you long for the reappearance of some long-lost and much-adored personality in the past. In the grip of this unrelenting longing, your lonely soul finds the world transformed into a stage where your absent beloved seems to reappear in every post, every thread, and in the murky shadows and corridors of your mind. I am not the object of your singular and misdirected yearning, nor the involuntary muse of your ill-fated passion. Nor do I promote racial rationalizations. I'm a better man than you.

I have a theory that right wing nuts are highly agitated right now because they hate seeing all types of people succeeding at the Olympics.

Any peaceful gathering of the world’s people is basically a hellish nightmare to right wing nuts.

Two Belgian athletes and one Swiss athlete have withdrawn from the Triathalon finals after coming down with severe gastroenteritis. All three swam in the polluted Seine river on Wednesday during the qualifying rounds. The qualifier had been delayed 24 hours from Tuesday because fecal contamination levels were too high. Thankfully it rained on Friday, essentially "flushing out" the Seine river.

There's a " the Rain in Seine song parody in here somewhere.

Swimmer for Paraguayan Swim Team finishes 6th in qualifying heat, says fuck this, I'm outta here, I'm going to Disneyland!

Butterfly swimmer Luana Alonso, who lives in the USA, and has a swimming scholarship to UCLA, swims for the Paraguayan team. She also did this in the Tokyo Olympics. She was way off her pace, finished last, and basically became a party girl 24/7 all over the Olympic Village much of the time "barely dressed". Officials told her to knock it off, she was a distraction, so she went to Disneyland on Saturday and didn't come back. She was asked to leave the Olympic Village immediately when she finally did return, no biggie, I'm retired the 20 year old said

Cole Hocker's completely unexpected victory over heavy favorite glam sunglasses boy Josh Kerr in the Olympics 1500m Men's race was a great feel-good story.

The number 1 runner in the world, Great Britain's Josh Kerr was in the race of his life against the number 2 runner in the world Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway.

These two had an absolute insane sprint for the last 250 meters. Ingebrigtsen simply "ran out of gas" about 75 meters from the finish and Kerr downshifted a gear so he wouldn't tire out at the finish.

Bad move. American Cole Hocker, who'd been in fourth place most of the race, turned on the jets while the announcers were prematurely celebrating Kerr's "victory" and Hocker edged him out by about two meters at the finish line.

An Olympic "moment to remember", made even better by the international television feed zooming onto Hocker's father in the stands, who was jumping up and down in sheer joy at his son's unexpected victory and shouting "WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK?" over and over!
