orangeman 1,353 Posted August 3, 2022 #1082 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Honestly, got into watching weightlifting in Tokyo and have enjoyed it here, too. Great sport to watch. Full of strategy and explosive athleticism. Lots of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: I've been to Sri Lanka and I'm not trying to mock it. It is absolutely beautiful, and the people are incredibly friendly. I recommend it to anyone, at least when things calm down. It sucks what they're going through, they deserve better. But it can’t be denied they spend a lot on toner cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we'll get to see it on the Olympic programme after Paris and with more than 10 events but that's too much to ask right now. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

Olympian1010 7,527 Posted August 3, 2022 #1085 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Perry and King into a fifth game for the bronze in squash. A tale of two different matches really. Perry did well to rally back in games 3 and 4. All to play for in the decider. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I feel like this is a warning like how wrestling was taken off the programme for a brief moment a few years back. Faster Higher Stronger. If breakdancing is in there and weightlifting is not, this old man will riot. Quasit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
