All things considered I prefer an objective score/winner, but I still enjoy the athleticism of sports like gymnastics and diving. I've never gotten into olympic basketball, since I see it all the time in the NBA and college. Although it's funny to see players for the other team ask our players for autographs.

Many many years ago, in the OLimpdicks they had to rule out the top score and the bottom score because Russian judges were giving their people high scores. I am sure many others were as well. That is all well and good, but I think they should have 5 judges and take out the 2 high and the 2 low scores. one score is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,728 Posted July 22 Will watch: Track and Field, most the running events which are boring to some, but it was what I did and still find it exciting, basketball, tennis, maybe golf. If I hear of interesting story I might check it out in other events, like when Phelps was dominating I would check out swimming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnysBastatrds 2,127 Posted July 22 I’ll watch. It for a lot of sports. Wemens gymnastics for sure. Sycronized swimming, diving, and quite a few more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its really the only way these events can be scored by their nature. If they don't do it this way, you don't see them at all. There's no speed/timer or nothing to count, which, it seems spoils it for you but I don't mind. As a layman, and not an expert, I find that I can get in the groove of it myself and reasonably estimate a score before the judges' official score is revealed. So I don't feel like it's corrupted except for that 1988 boxing match of the US guy vs the South Korean. To his credit, the guy who won that gold has spent the time since 1988 feeling awful about it, wishes he'd gotten silver instead: https://apnews.com/article/sports-seoul-south-korea-sports-asia-2020-tokyo-olympics-768c6f38b4fb055e973db0db9fc858b2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegeneral 2,490 Posted July 24 Always enjoy the Olympics. Love the weird events, the storylines, and people competing to win at this thing they have trained to achieve for years. Paris will be a great backdrop, think they are doing some cool locations. Opening ceremony with countries floating down the Seine should be very impressive. America is expected to crush total medals and most medals. Let’s roll!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old joke… I used to use it at bars “Have ever seen ladies hurdlers? No? This is what it looks like nekkid.”. So I would pull up my shirt, grab each side of the hairy fat of my belly button, and go up and down three times and then open it up, and do it,three times., Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,912 Posted July 27 I’m a big Olympics fan. I look forward to each one of these things. I think it’s because like anything else…I Wanna see an A+ effort or I wanna see an F and just by its nature you have a lot of A+ efforts to watch. Just asking someone to train for years and to be perfect on one event I just find really fascinating and there’s also something kind of neat to see these athletes that you only see once every four years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First off, it was depicting A PAINTING, and the painting it depicted was the Feast of Dionysus, not the last supper. Just plug "bacchanal paiting" into Google, and you'll get a whole bunch of paintings of people feasting at tables. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
