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

[mpjmcevoy 362]

I try not to root against people. It doesn't seem very Olympian.

 

I try not to. But I regularly fail!

 

So.

 

1 with a bullet -  Dutch peado rapist ghoul. Seriously, Netherlands, what the **** are you smoking?? I mean outright dopers, cheats, loathe them, but you manage to find the one guy I'd actually cheer on the roided up junkie against! I'd cheer one of the bloody Russians against!

 

This will stain the Netherlands authorities for years to come.

 

Ok, onto the normals...

 

"Some people like giants, some people like giantkillers" (Simon Barnes quote) As a rule, I go into the latter classification.

 

I hope somebody screws up the 'perfect' goals of the  Chinese diving and table tennis teams. I'm not wildly bothered which.

 

I want the Chinese swim team decimated. you simply cannot be allowed to get away with what has obviously been going on (state-protected doping regime)

 

Conversely I would love the Chinese to beat  America in the Women's team gymnastics.

 

Individuals:

 

 Zverev (thug)

 J Ingabrigtsen (not real dislike, it's just he's funny when he loses)

 Sydney McLaughlin (I simply can't stomach the love in for a Kersee athlete), Hoppel

 most of their team apart from faith. Sorry, guys, I like Kenya but your system's broken.

Sedjati - I don't trust him an inch

 women's team

No, it won't. Also, not sure semi death wishes are acceptable here (despite that having been accepted on the forum before).

 

I do agree with him being allowed to participate by the way, but definitely won't be cheering for him. And just to be clear: that very obviously does not equal accepting what he did as remotely OK.

Ah, didn't know that one, you really can learn something every day it seems

The British gymnastics team and not because I dislike any of them on an individual level. But can’t stand the BBC commentary when it comes to covering it. And yes I can and do watch on other channels but still the thought of Matt Baker and co drooling over their own while actively cheering against the competition makes me want any result that will keep them in their box

Also nothing against their shooters, as far as I remember they're usually Bahrain-born and raised instead of bought athletes  

Well, an exception to them then
