Summer Olympics?

[Billinsd]

Whose watching? I am not. How are the archery and shooting sports?

I think I'm done with the Olympics.

 

[Billinsd]

I enjoy watching the lampooning of the Olympics videos immensely!!

The men’s team archery semis/finals are the only event I’ve watched so far, and it was a pretty awesome performance.

How can I watch it? Or where?

 

[flathead#2]

Havent seen one second.

 

[N2TRKYS]

The archery and shooting events I’ve seen are boring as heck.

I’ve enjoyed other events, though. Wish NBC was better with broadcasting more of what I would like to watch.

 

[Aaron-in-CO]

How can I watch it? Or where?

Yeah, that’s the trick. NBC is holding on tightly to their broadcasting rights.

The only way that I’m aware of is with a subscription to PeacockTV or to watch it live on NBC.

 

[Ridge Ghost]

I'm mostly just interested in the wrestling and judo, but NBC would rather air things like artistic swimming and rhythmic gymnastics.

I don't have a Peacock subscription, so fingers crossed that you'll be able to find some of the matches on YouTube later.

I watched the 10 meter air rifle women shooting offhand. Rarely does the gold metal come down to such a nail biter - South Korean teenager kicked the Chinese teenager’s ass by .1 point on the very last shot of a shoot off after they both tied and broke the world record together. I find it funny shooting pants are to the point he shooters can’t hardly walk in them - they waddle around. Lol

Teenage South Korea shooter Ban Hyojin takes Olympic gold by .1 of a point in dramatic shoot-off

Sixteen-year-old South Korean shooter Ban Hyojin beat China's Huang Yuting, who's only one year older, to the gold medal by 0.1 in a shoot-off after they were each tied on 251.8 points from 22 shots.

I focus on the obscure sports that are never given attention at any other point in the year.

US isn't nearly as dominant as previous years so far. I think there's more parity in sports across much of the world now. We'll see how track and field goes.

The Chinese are doing extremely well in terms of gold medals. I think they might as well just concede diving to the Chinese. They've defeated the game.

US women's gymnasts have been very good, led by the GOAT.

Opening ceremony was terrible IMO but other than that, and what appear to be fairly empty venues, it's been a decent Olympics so far.

 

[tdhanses]

Nope haven’t watched any of it.

 

[cnelk]

Woklympics

 

[Geewhiz]

I haven't watched any of it either but I've been hearing that men are really good at winning womens sports.

 

[nobody]

Haven’t really watched anything. Women’s 7’s rugby was on at my parents house in the background at a family bbq on Sunday, that was pretty entertaining.

Oh and Snoop Dogg ran a 34.44 in the 200m, pride and joy of the USA right there.

 

[KurtR]

I watch all kinds of it. The athletes are just doing what they train four years for.

 

[Vaultman]

I started swimming kinda competitive (Masters), since the last summer games. So I am watching that. You never knew how amazing those guys are until you try it yourself.

 

[Antares]

So what's the point of this thread? Everyone just queues up to be negative and shit on other peoples fun? Lighten up.
