Understandable, she will be only the 10th time at the Olympics

Pistol and riffle shooting really doesn’t get much if any attention in North America. Ginny Trasher got a few minutes on NBC when she won the very first gold medal in 2016, and that was exceptional.

Come on man, even I know who she is and I rarely watch shooting 

 

Only twice since Tokyo actually, during the Asian Rifle & Pistol Olympic Qualifier, and the Rifle & Pistol Shooting Championships of the Americas.

I know. Googled it after. Thanks

 

Yeah, I mean, I know him, he is a star, maybe I even watched him playing, but I do not remember. Trust me, I have never seen a NBA game in my life, furthermore, the only Basketball I watched was at the Olympics, but it was always like at "half attention". I know it is very popular and full of actions and emotions, it is just iritating me that the last minute of the match take literally a quarter of hour to be played as every frikin 1 and half second the play is stoped because of a Time out or god know why foul... I swear, if they find a way to accelerate the game I can sacrifice myself and watch more of basketball in the future.

Yoy can accelerate it! It's called a fast forward

You just reminded me how pissed I was during London 2012. Our broadcaster back then have a time slot of 3 hours of random Olympic event each day when there are no Indonesians in action, and they spent half (sometimes more than half) of it for a frickin basketball pool match. Never watched a basketball game since that, until  played basketball together in Asian Games

Good one

Looks like many countries will have only one flag bearer, even if they have both men and women in team, Tommy Bach will hate them.

Yeah, like probably 99% of people who will be watching the Olympics across the world

 

I would likely have had no clue without Totallympics
