good game, US 5 Olympics in a row.

...ahh it's the free throw line/key...
Hard to beat when they score 18 x 3 pointers. Never missed a free throw.
Should be interesting to see what weird stuff the frogs come up with for the closing ceremony lol ;)

Been a good 2 weeks. Stan sport was worth the $36. All in 4K, and the replays too.
WSL need to get on 4K.

100%. Must be GOAT territory.
Not too sure if breakdancing should be an Olympic sport…kind of dull and RedBull territory.
Raygun is the only hero we need.

It’s gotta be a piss take surely. Too funny
I posted that last night and thought I was the only person on SN that found it…. bemusing, confusing and amusing.
I’ve been in stitches.
Had a family breakdance competition last night at home. I can confidently say that my wife and my 8yo son laid down better moves than RayGun. 7yo had an honourable mention.
I retired early as my opening move resulted in an old man shoulder injury. Went out too strong.
a dancer mate is trying to wrap her head around the raygun phenomenon, finds it bewilderingly fascinating.. she sent me this smh article, saying it shed some light on the 'why and how':

I don’t know the qualification process.
But I’m 100% sure that Dr Gunn is not the best female breaker in the country. So, how did she get there? Who missed out?
It’s not going to be in the 2028 Olympics after that shitshow.
Edit - there were some seriously talented breakers in that competition. From my uneducated perspective. But I played her battle next to a couple of others. Not even in the same ballpark.

Our TV reception went on the piss, so we missed history being made.
Breaking not going to be included in 2028 (in LA - I mean wtf), so that is that.
Oh and please, please please can one of you link the dancing of the Rockin Ted's doing 'Stayin Alive'? Or maybe they had a different name?? It was put up somewhere in the tunes thread but it's so many pages ago and I can't remember the name of the vid. Was it you Adam12 or Blackers who put it up? The dancing in it - that should be the Olympic dance sport.
this is as close as I can find

Have you ever seen something miss the mark more? During the olympics with its participatory ethos?
Countries that support athletes for the privilege of taking part in an international get-together
vs.
Countries that count medals (Aus included)..seems a reallly pointless point to care about : /
Could anyone possibly think that Jamaican bob-sledders, English ski-jumpers, Chinese surfers, Aussie speed-skaters, or Sth African skateboarders should hang their heads in shame?
Absolutely laughable attempt-to-make-a-misjudged-political-point image, hahah.. every athlete from every nation would think it stinks like a pooey-bum, she-eeyt!!
Not that we're counting...but...Iran 3 gold medals, Israel 1.
No need to be an extremist about it like the fool who posted this pic.
Well done to all athletes. I'm sure they're all super proud of their efforts.

What I don’t fully understand is boxing in the olympics still amateur’s only ? If so why , when other professional athletes can compete in various sports ? Shame boxing is gone , been in the olympics forever .

Was the choice of the IBA, I'm pretty sure. They set the rules. Not dissimilar to men's soccer and their U23 rule.
In fact, if surfing is to be included then maybe it's worth having something along those lines so it's not merely replicating the Championship Tour?
Olympic surfing is only under 20s, or its only non-CT surfers, or if there are four surfers from each country then two have to be juniors.
Something that sets it apart from the CT.
I'm glad someone of repute finally said it...
"...Malik Dixon is an African American who has been living in Australia for more than a decade and is a Sydney University graduate.
He said Raygun made a total "mockery" out of breaking at the Olympics.
"She was dressed like a member of the cricket team or an Australian PE teacher, and from that point it just seemed like satire," Mr Dixon told ABC News.
"It just looked like somebody who was toying with the culture and didn't know how culturally significant it was being the first time in the Olympics and just how important it was to people who really cherish hip hop and one of the elements of hip hop, which is breakdancing.
"It made me think, was Borat her breakdancing coach?"..."

Yeah , I would be all for amateurs in surfing at the olympics , I understand sports by being professional allows the athlete to dedicate everything to their chosen sport and therefore they can really achieve greater success and perform at a level possibly better than say someone that still had to work to pay the bills. Maybe if everything was amateur and sponsorship limited then the performance enhancing drugs wouldn’t be so tempting for some . If the world games were all professional and the olympics all amateur , I wonder what would be more popular with the public ?

Is she a Kiwi by birth ? Has a pretty strong accent . I’m hoping they claim her as theirs but somehow don’t think that will happen .
Oh my mistake, the video I put up wasn’t the real Raygun , just some chick taking the piss out of her , sorta looks the same , I really do need to go to spec savers .
Meddling Puddling Medal peddling!
Dope out on Pfizer Pax for yer Olympic Medal then die from sucking on yer Medal...Dope as Shit!
French Justice... how you say... Je Ne Sais Quoi...Le Magnifique!

Bronze $7.89 = 455 grams (Breakdown mix )
415.15 g (92.5%) Copper + 21.85 g (2.5%) Zinc + (0.5%)Tin (All Processed from the Currency mint)

Lustre wears off
Losing their Colour
Back of the Medals Chip off really easily
Shall we investigate WTF is going on here... (Old school Bronzed Aussies swear their medals are fine!)
Recycle Mandate > Involves the use of Old Rusting Iron in the heart of Paris medals!
Process requires deep penetrating Rust Proofing Agents
Problem!
Deep penetrating Anti Fouling agents are mostly Toxic to humans and critters? (Correct!)
River Seine is poisoned by Anti Fouling Agents So Ban swimming for yer Medal...Go Figure...well durr!
Sweet irony of Green Games is not lost in translation...
The idea of course being to Swim in The Seine to gain Anti Foul immunity to suck on yer Toxic Medals!
Only the French can first concoct an anecdote in order to receive yer Poisonous award.
That is some shit hot Devious Olympic Event.
Bigger Problem...{Do not Swallow or Ingest an Iron Medallion treated with Anti Foul Agents.
Warning! { No biting on Olympic Iron Medals! }
Holy shit tbb...worth investigating the Boring Stuff!
Correct...do the hard yards Always! Way more death Defying!
Ok! Mass VIP Vax'n'Pax Cheats die sucking on Doped Out Medals.. ( Ok! Still don't see the problem? )
Apparently it's still Unsportsmanlike to kill Le VIP Drug Cheats...So Woke! Tell us about it! Cry Cry!
Like, so ya reckon this is a sleeper thing tbb...For Real...100% Shit will hit the fan...
Correction...
Media are once again to fuckin' stupid to investigate Toilet Paper wedged up their own Arse cracks!
You Bet! It's #1 Secret alright...Yes! Of course that mean's it's Censored! Wot ya expect...well durr!
But that never stopped tbb...can read about yer Yuppie Bronze Age first world VIP problems here...
Jan 2024 Mint denies it's struggling to find a non-toxic succulent brew to baste recycled chewy Medals!
Hosing down rumours of Mandatory Tetanus Shots for Each VIP Vax'n'Pax Cheats.
Nope! It never said such shit only that's how easy it is to read between the lines...All say Aye!

Ok! We're all up to speed that France needs to brew an edible goo for Recycled VIP's to suck on!
Never said that. (Taboo!)
Sure...who cares...Any Ideas?
Crew : (Yes!) I bet woteva they brewed up eats into them Bronze Medals...
Ok! Good call > Now we're cookin' with VIP Olive Oil!
So! Wot Biofoul Blend protects Iron from Rusting but eats Cheap Metal for Breakfast! Huh!
Has to be a recent brew...tbb come up with this fresh batch...
https://www.corrocoat.com/biofoul-a-heavy-duty-non-toxic-anti-foul-coating/
Crew : Have we got an Answer tbb...(Bingo!)
So fast...That we do Crew...Solved the Olympic Medal Riddle in WR time!
Protest!
Team Oz demand an Ultimate Sportsmanlike Medal for WR Olympic Medal Meddling
Bronze Age Answer is [ Corrocoat ] Say wot tbb?
"Biofoul contains no Chem Agents it relies on unique Copper Pigmentation & Flakes (re: Chipping)
Therefore be Considered {Non Toxic!} re: Can bite'n'chew'n'suck on yer Recycled Eiffel Tower Biscuits!
3 pack Synthetic / Hydrolysable / Polyester Solution is non toxic!
In low concentration is considered Non-Toxic to both Marine and Mammal Life Forms!
Colour : Metalic Copper Appearance! ( Same as Bronze Medal )
When first applied, Biofouls is a Copper/Gold Colour. The Colour changes with Age to the pleasantly green appearance of 'Oxidized Copper'. This characteristic allows Biofoul to be used not only for Anti-Fouling purposes but decorative purposes!"
This product or Article refers to reaction on Iron + Ship Metals
Meaning the Iron grey inlays on The Gold / Silver Medals will likely take on a Cool Bronzed colour!
Where as the Whole Bronze Medal get's de-coloured but in varying shades of Copper Brown.
The Bronze is also more likely to Flake during the Biofoul Process...All Got That!
Exactly 100% Wotz going on with the Bronze Medals! (Correct!) Winner!
