Bully Wee Villa Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 To be fair, I think quite a few I've seen interviewed seem decent enough. That lad is clearly an absolute arsehole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I thought the Breaking was a better version of the artistic gymnastics or the floor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I thought the breakdancing would at least be just a routine that you get judged on like the gymnastics. Instead it’s a f**king dance off like something out a Disney film, winner doesn’t get a gold medal they get the most popular boy in school, get it to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then everything I’ve seen from him he seems to be a Grade A bawbag. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Read last week that this is the last time that showjumping will be one of the 5 disciplines in the modern pentathlon. Think the main reason it is being dropped is that the random draw to allocate horses made it a lottery. It will be replaced by some sort of assault course. Hopefully in a Total Wipeout style.

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 I remember Tokyo was on Hokkaido because of temperatures but, as a rule, I like it better when they turn into the stadium at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I'm entirely convinced that about an hour before the Women's Breaking event Australia suddenly remembered that they'd entered the event and then just asked someone in the crowd if they could help. The requirement of being able to break dance was not enforced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting breaking in the 2024 Olympics has always seemed odd to me. In time period terms, its like making the Charleston an Olympic sport but in Seoul 1988. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
