2024 Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

So Happy for the American Women's Gymnastics team to win Gold, and then Simone Biles and Suni Lee to medal in the all around competition. :bounce:  I know this is a few days old but I have been glued to the tv watching and not getting online much. 

 

Also very happy to see Grant Fisher finish strong for a Bronze medal in the Men's 10,000 meter final (track/field).  He has ties to Utah, came here to train and has done very well. :clap:

 

Last but not least,  Katie Ledecky wins the 800 freestyle over Ariarne Titmus of Australia.  She is now a winner of 9 GOLD medals.  Only Michael Phelps has more gold medals in swimming than her.   :fistbump::thumbsup:

The women's road race was amazing. The greatest underdog victory I have ever seen 

What's amazing is she just took up cycling for fun.  What a fantastic surprise victory :thumbsup:

I remember Missy Franklin charming the country that year. Everyone expected big things out of her four years later, but she faded. She said she tried to be too many things for too many people and lost focus on the swimming

Indeed. 

 

I wonder if she will race in the tour de france femme in a few weeks. 

 

Easily my fave Olympic moment so far.

There sure seems to be alot of dopping during these games.   Maybe there always was...:huh:

Most recent   Tom Craig (Australian)  caught buying cocaine  from a street dealer.  Feild hockey star.

What's everyone's opinion of "the bell" at the track and field stadium?

I rather like it.

She sure did. Sweet. I just read she will ride in the TDF femme race.

 

I love watching road but only ride mtn bike so I was also very stoked for Haley batten from the USA who took silver in women's MTB.

Noah Lyles ran the 200 meter finals even though he knew he had COVID and then breathed all over all the people who were around him, including his mom, after he was off the track. Medals be damned, that is very irresponsible.

And we end with a surprise silver for Daria Pikulik in indoor cycling. :smile: Final medal count, 1-4-5. Bloody terrible.   :rolleyes:
