In my case it's not so much a matter of passing over them by choice, but simply needing to get back to work and regular life and so not having the time If I were a millionaire and didn't need to work, yeah, I'd be spending an unhealthy amount of time watching the Paralympics soon

But watch for the sports then. Surely also without Polish success there's lots and lots of awesome sports to see? And unless you have a job and can't get two weeks off, not sleeping shouldn't be an issue, just sleep on LA times

Oh wow, that's from an Italian artist? Mind blown Still genuinely don't know how that was such a hype for a bit with the Will Griggs on Fire thing, then died out and now since June or so it's absolutely everywhere again

Nope, except for a few things which I've already seen and just want to see and re-enjoy specific commentary of Otherwise I've seen every event I wanted to see, my goal was to have my list crossed off before the closing ceremony and I finished the last taekwondo finals right before that (to be fair, I watched the last day's 6 taekwondo medal fights in 15 minutes or so, mostly skipping through them).

Judging by her results she is at least a lot more competitive than Elizabeth Swaney was. I mean, not really competitive for the medals and that's totally fine, but not just someone who literally only shows up to avoid falling and so get the points.

I would assume when cutting the team event from 4 to 2 athletes, at least countries can have two teams...otherwise it's going to be an epically empty field of athletes in the Nordic combined especially. Alpine combined thing is just a shame, instead of it being a full individual event, but yeah, that was unavoidable. Just like the cross-country skiing distances, where in Cortina the men will also do the - for them - ridiculously short 10k interval start and 20k skiathlon. Luckily at least they made the women's mass start 50k instead of shortening the men's to 30k, but still.

You're a significantly more disciplined man than I am, hat off to you

How on earth did you find the time for that? My last exercise was the 200km cycling I did on the Wednesday action got going in Paris, since then it's been absolutely nothing, I think the battery of my Polar watch is even entirely empty now

And at the end: I know there's always some fighting and bashing on here, because of different nationalities and therefore different viewpoints, but I would like an Olympics without Totallympics way, way less

Where I think one of the biggest things is that it's a purely commercial product. As in, the developer of game X will want it to be Olympic, because of sales only.

If I had my way, we'd be able to have an acceptable cycling road race (or many other options) with the quotas that are available after rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, judo, dressage and boxing are out, but yeah

Time to see what the outside world looks like. Will I still know how to cycle?

And besides being annoyed, we're all incredibly jealous for that as well

India, triathlon and open water in the ultimate poop river

I found his appearance fun. For one day....

Yep, this is not a promising start. Athletes...?

Oh, this is music?

LA 28 is gonna be like this the whole time isn't it?

The unavoidable Snoop Dogg.

Tom Cruise, the hype can explode for a bit. Then back to the athletes please.

No women's Nordic combined yet... (luckily, although in 2030 it's time)

Do we get full gender equality next time?

I will genuinely miss making fun of it, yes

"My fellow Olympian Tony Estanguet" Yes yes, Thomas. We know.

Did you know besides an amazing speaker, he was also a great athlete? Won Olympic gold even in fencing, 1976!
