Athletes from other Countries that you will root against at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Josh 11,528]

Well first of all  Van De Velde…  and Immers (nothing against Immers, just his questionable decision to partner up with him)

 

Then…

 

 Noah Lyles - Athletics

 Sha’Carri Richardson - Athletics

 Nyjah Huston - Skateboarding 

 Ana Patricia Silva Ramos (not Duda) - Beach Volleyball

 Taliqua Clancy ** (not Mariafe) - Beach Volleyball

 Kelly Cheng (not Hughes) - Beach Volleyball

 Jelena Ostapenko - Tennis

 Tiago Seyboth Wild - Tennis

 Beatriz Haddad Maia - Tennis

 Stefanos Tsitsipas - Tennis

 Sara Errani - Tennis

 Ebrar Karakurt - Volleyball (almost forgot about her)

 Tom Dean - Swimming

 Alexander Zverev - Tennis

 Corvee/Labar and Popov/Popov - Badminton (nothing against the athletes…) 

 Bassereau/Lyneel - Beach Volleyball

 Krou/Gauthier-Rat - Beach Volleyball 

Chamereau/Viera - Beach Volleyball

Corentine Moutet - Tennis

 

** Fun fact, I started disliking her a couple of days ago when she cursed the ref during their qualifying game at the Gstaad Elite16. Ref couldn’t understand it, but still not cool

I gotta say it. The only kilometer I know about is the one these two can run one tenth of faster than anyone else on earth.

 

I’m not much of a patriot, slept in on the July 4 celebrations yesterday, but the moment one of these American heros tops that Parisian podium I will briefly be the most insufferable person on this website in celebration. That’s a fact, that’s a promise. They both represent the dreams of this nation and represent the best in the American spirit.

I understand things are subjective but your hate towards Ana Patricia is kinda ridiculous at this point...

[LDOG 2,469]

Basically anyone from  &  (nothing personal with the athletes but seeing someone from these countries win always feels like some bureaucratic action with no emotion taking place).

 

 

And a few arrogant europeans here and there, as usual.

I wouldn’t really call it “hate” because I don’t hate her. That being said, I’m not the biggest fan of her either. 

 

The only athlete on this list that I hate is Van De Velde. 
 

Edit: and Karakurt. 

 

To explain on Ana Patricia, 1. most of the time she doesn’t seem she’s trying (you could say the same for Duda, but to a lesser extent) and 2. she rarely if not ever smiles. It’s like playing beach volleyball is a chore for her, she doesn’t look like she’s enjoying it. There’s no reason why she shouldn’t be hammering the majority of her attacks into the sand, and yet she doesn’t.

You have mentioned multiple times now that you don't like her, which is fine, I just find strange that you included her on a list with dopers, arrogant people (Ostapenko for sure) and criminals

It makes 0 sense lol

 

Its a double and he is in favour of one and hate the another one.

 

Is he supportining a draw in a sport that is a draw inst possible? Lol teenager things...

I wouldn't call it hate, but that Brazilian skateboarding girl who every single time reacts as if she just can't believe it at the moment she gets her medal (and it's long clear she won). I can not stand her reactions, it's one of the reasons I don't think I'll be watching that event  (but I definitely don't wish a bad result upon her or anything)

 

Actual hate...no, I don't feel that towards any athlete I think now that Mekhissi isn't competing (and Richard Kilty, I think). Definitely won't be cheering for certain athletes, like I would be far from sad if Novak Djokovic is out early. No hate, just very much not a fan and would probably prefer every single other player as winner  

 

In terms of Dutch athletes I'm sure I'll start having some negative feelings in the women's road race at some point, but also no hate towards anyone in the entire team across all sports.
