Can I just say I fucking love the mascots
Best mascots in years
Little running hats
Brilliant
Makes me laugh every time I see them
Not yet, they start at 10:40am U.K. time
Thanks! The Olympic app doesn’t tell me what athletes are in each sub division very annoying
The French crowd spontaneously cheering every time a French swimmer comes above the water 😂
I’m hoping when I go to France in September they’ve got some Olympic stuff on sale so I can get a hat plushie for cheap 😂😂😂😂
Camera just caught Simone biles doing the biggest yawn I’ve ever seen
Yas snoooop
Ooo I think the Algerian lady has leggings on!
Maybe tho with the Japanese not being a full team technically
Yeh and at the end of the previous rotation Romania had a bad time on uneven bars too, so GB ended up coming top in their group. But they didn’t have a great time on floor either, so we’ll just have to wait and see 🤞🏻
Yeah there’s 10 teams so it’s possible
I really think the lower age limit for the Olympics needs to be higher
Why are none of my stations showing the gymnastics 😩
Simone looks very anxious or in pain
Oh it’s the German in leggings not the Algerian
Good for them
Jade did not do brilliantly on floor
Oh no you're kidding
Did something happen?
She fell off 😬
Did she have that ankle taping on before?
Simone’s tumbling always look like they’re on fast forward she’s so fast
we love a floor routine to taylor swift
I said she looked in pain earlier, I don’t feel like she had it on for beam
she’s so insane
I think they said she went out of the arena to see the physio, so maybe it was put on then
She didn’t
ahhh the discovery+ app gives you gold medal alerts, how fun
Yes it’s good isn’t it Ailish!
so good!! it’s so hard to keep up with sometimes
Simone is def limping a little
jade looks gutted, bless her
She still got a 14.6 on floor
chinese team are all babies
Oh no 😭
Oddly enough, I'm getting my Simone updates from Gaga but she's a bit behind lol
WOW! Simone vaulted so high!!
beef in the boxing, crowd are booing judges decisions
There’s always beef in boxing
she was born the day before i turned 18 lollllll
stop
I’m watching the equestrian while there’s a break in the gymnastics
so true 😭
Video of the rugby stadium being transformed
simone doing her vault with an insane height
german commentator: "usually only snoop dogg is this high"
I mean…accurate 😭
HAAAAA
The skateboarding is so good
The skate prelims were a little rough but this final is good.
I saw the young Australian lady fall down
And now I’m watching Japan and Brazil got at it in judo
I’m watching the gold zone so I don’t have to change feeds bc lazy
It’s so good
Husband is an avid skater and the history of female skateboarding is mad
Only in serious competition for the last 10 years
It’s really kicked up in the last 5 especially. This young generation of girls are really taking things to another level.
Yeah I see 7 and 12 year olds ranked.
Yeah the girl who won in Tokyo didn’t make the team
Woops
ILONA MAHER IS DIFFERENT
💖 151 🔁 36
JESS FOX GOLD
I think this was the one event Jess hadn’t got gold in yet
Who wears helmets in rugby??
USA never does
If you turned up to the six nations in helmets the other team would laugh you out of the stadium!
I’ve never seen anyone do it
yeah not many people do unless they personally have had a head injury recently
what a wild take
This is their first day watching rugby
Obviously if they’ve had an injury that’s different
No doubt 😂
I am bisexual solely for Ilona
Do they mean scrum caps????
yeah they defo do
I wore one because fuck getting cauliflower ears
Oh maybe, I would never have called them helmets…but then I’m not American 😂
Original commenter is from barstool. Not exactly known as the Genius Bar over there.
I took a fencing class in college for physical education credit.
It was a time.
They’re giving me a split screen between women’s singles tennis with Coco and fencing.
It’s the foil discipline.
it's impressive to me that the commentators can tell what's happening in fencing when they move so fast and the swords are flopping all over the place
Out of all the more rare sports, I took a class in fencing so I’m less lost than most but I’m still lost on scoring.
I know there’s censors but it’s impressive
What’s the difference between foil and whatever the other one is?
they have 3 types and they are different types of swords
oh yes, what elbee posted lol
Gonna have that Harvard philosophy major to get that gold medal match.
Now we got football
Spain and Nigeria im glad they’re changing sports for me
Keeps me moving
The surfing is so good this year, also absolutely terrifying
The waves in Tahiti are something else
I just found the Gold Zone (there’s so much on peacock that I was just clicking random events lol) and it’s showing me 6 sports at once. That’s crazy
The women’s individual foil finals is on in like an hour and a half and it’s an all USA final so that’s exciting
Yeah Lee is defending her gold medal from her teammate
Casual
Either a repeat or someone new. The drama.
can the japanese just let andy win pls x
@last pulsar I think GBR are through to the team final now?
Really?? Yayyyyyy 🎉 I’ve been watching the tennis.
They’re 6th with only 2 more teams in subdivision 5 tonight, so I’d think they’re through
France completely cocked it
I was gonna say something must have happened with the other teams 😭
I’m just rewatching subdivision 4 that they were in and already 2 falls on bars
i did not know this was a thing
interesting
Yeah or the matches go on too long
Oh no 😭 and in front of a home crowd 😭
It seems like de Jesus dos Santos potentially got in her head, she hasn’t qualified for the AA
Swimming finalssssssssss
This Frenchman Marchand is crazy good
So good
The cheers every time the French guy goes up 😂😂😂😂
I thought the IM started with backstroke first
He’s so far in front of everyone else
lol
Yeah
WE WERE SO CLOSE
Awwww he just missed the WR
we just missed 🥉
I opened this halfway through so had no idea who was swimming 😂😂😂
I have the tennis on one screen and the swimming on another
Lmao all the volunteers not doing their job to applaud him
Over 5 seconds ahead of everyone else!
thanks besties xx
NO FUCKING WAY
Bruh
I can’t believe they won that! 😭
Ahhh there’s an American commentating the swimming
YAAAAASSSSSSS
ANDY IS THROUGH?
“They were awful for the first hour”
Hirai Mizuki is adorable that was an entrance
YES 🎉
Too many
Torri with her tiny photo
I’m going for Hirai come on Japan
Australians in summer games and Canadians in winter
What sports are y'all watching rn?
Swimming
Huske can’t believe it
not to be super annoying about it but 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
She hit turbo mode
I love that Walsh is supporting her and cheering for her
“The difficult thing about semi finals is that we have 16 people trying to make it into the top 8” (paraphrased) that’s a will Buxton moment
there's been a few of those 😂
That’s amazing
there was one the other day where IIRC the host asked "how important is it that they scored those goals" and the expert commentator cooly replied "well, you want to win"
“He lead off the 4 x 100 relay and has stepped up which means… double the distance” wow I had no clue that 200m was further that 100m
galaxy brain moments in sports commentary
I'm watching beach volleyball waiting for my country to play
It’s this American commentating the swimming
As you can tell I’m tuning him out
not that I'm criticizing, I couldn't fill time with yakking on topic as well as they do
Hehehe the way they splash the water on themselves is very funny
He’s too much screaming to understand what he’s on about
For some reason we’ve got an American on the Eurosport coverage
EUROsport
To be fair he might be Canadian
the slapping is wild
It’s my favorite thing
Bayg
one of the guys had handprints all over him
Kinky
litearlly
half naked with slap marks
USA USA USA USA really put on the turbo boosters at the end there
That is odd
Oh wow the Lithuanian took his swim cap off and his hair looks exactly what I excepted with those blond tips lol
Very American pronunciation I’m afraid
I’m on the discovery+ app coz I’m waiting for the next gymnastics to start
ah fair
Genuinely thought that guys last name was “himbo”
Don’t fucking spit that’s disgusting
I am stealing canadian's streaming service with a vpn to watch the olympics
OK switched off of Gold Zone because USWNT is about to take on Germany ⚽ 🇺🇸
Feeling v nervous for this us/ger game
I forgot this was 4 laps and got prematurely excited again
Glad I’m not a man I would be disappointing a lot of women
slay duncan
Go on Duncan
and matt richards appears to be through too 👏🏻
You have to win 5 matches to win the gold
In tennis?
Yes
Sorry I meant to reply to @limber lotus
thanks bestie! ❤️
Dennis Rodman's daughter is on USWNT for the Olympics? 😮
so three rounds, semi-final and final
2 rounds, QF, SF, F
SEM-EE final, not sem-IY final
But it’s the same thing 😅
This etoro ad is entirely AI and it’s fucking creepy
that’s france’s two biggest athletes already got their golds
Which ones
dupont and marchant?
yes
well they can leave now
I was hoping one would be dupont but didn’t know if he was too niche
buh bye
please x
apparently those are the two faces used all around france to promo the games
Yeah she’s been on the national team for a bit now
I’ve got a countdown
Oh nice I didn’t know that or notice it when I was in France 😂
which countries are in the last group?
No his niece
Been to France twice this year and didn’t see it at all
oh, it's his niece ok
Brazil, Aus and then two mixed
One of the mixed has 3 Spain and 2 Belgium and the other one is a true mixed iirc
Great time to check the Olympics app
He likes North Korea more than his own family.
@scarlet cedar
amazing, thank you
they're the wrong way round for the french flag on the podium
for any team gb followers, i highly recommend following sam freedman on twitter for updates! he does daily threads, like this: https://x.com/samfr/status/1817486410640740745?s=46&t=NNRAZtpQ_uRRHzXWiH02wQ
OLYMPICS UPDATE THREAD - DAY TWO
Lot's going on all over Paris...
Swimming heats, rowing heats, eventing cross-country..... Chelsie Giles going soon in the Judo.
All today's updates will be in this thread.
US goal already!!
he also does threads looking forward to the next day with medal hopes and info about events and athletes
Your feed is ahead of mine slightly 😂 but lovely!
I was watching that
Rodman's pink hair is really good
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL USA USA USA USA USA
A little less nervous now 😮💨😮💨
They look good
for that alone, i hope you get battered 🫶🏻 x
Again growing up I didn’t know boys played
Because they were an embarrassment of a national team
were?
Still
yup 😂
Yeah I was just going to say, past tense??
Lol I don’t even know their names right now
Though they dominated New Zealand which was as a pretty even match up
The only players name I know is tolkin and that’s cause I find it funny he had the same name as the LOTR author
i mean that is 16 vs 94 in the fifa rankings
Now they’re showing me Norway and Chile beach volleyball.
i’m honestly surprised US is as high as 16
The women look so much better than their World Cup appearance thank fuck
That I can’t even think about
That was so embarrassing
I’m going back to gold zone. Soccer is too stressful for me.
ok we're back 🇺🇸
LETS GO MAL!!!!
I went back to gold zone and then they just showed the Germany goal again 😭 so I guess I’m back so at least I’m up to date
Must remember to breath
so much hype over adam peaty and i just have a feeling he’s gonna get beat badly 😭
These are my favorite Olympics memes
stop 😭
My favorite is
“Where are all the Paris rats”
“Who do you think is cooking for the athletes?”
oh but his little boy told him to be the fastest!!!!
he looks better with hair, hope it doesn't slow him down 😉
The German coach is the most German looking man I’ve ever seen
Ahhh this girl is using material girl for her floor I am bopping
Her suit and makeup are so pretty!
3-1 let's gooooo
I’ve switched back to the swimming
oh ew, some of these entrances give me in the ick
The cheers for Adam 🥹
wooooo go lad
GET IT AP
the only sad thing about these finals being on in the evening, i watned to show the kids
they've just started lessons so i want them to start dreaming bigger 😉
i've got plans, olympics 2036
we're showing them a variety and seeing what sticks
Egyptian fencer is running around the room now I think he won the bronze
hyped for the climbing
COME ON ADAM
Olympic climbing is BANANAS
NOOOOOOO
JOINT SECOND WTF
can't cope
Oh my god
bloody heck
It’s a very slow pool
It is
so so so close
After all he’s been through silver is amazing
and he is still the 🐐
still the goat
his times are 🔥
well done adam
guarantee his kid will say 'not the fastest daddy' because kids keep you humble 🥰
The swimmer in fourth had to do the swim off to even get into the final!
the chinese guy proper fell off in the second 50m
Oh I remember Mr Imodium
the win being over 59, yet adam’s fastest being sub 57, is INSANE
Just reminds you that nothing is set until the finals
They were talking about how Fink is the oldest member of the US Swim team.
One of the Aussie gymnasts is 28 and at her first Olympics
I don’t think they expected it.
he’s so happy/emotional 🥹🥹🥹
It’s mad that a different pool can make such a difference
I remember that one gymnast that started her career in the Soviet Union and changed to Germany and some place else. She was mid 40s at her last games.
She was never stopping.
It may have been unified team at Barcelona but same thing
he's so adorable
Oksana? She’s still on the Uzbekistan national team and has competed for 5 teams at the Olympics
She went back!
I think she was Uzbekistan originally.
Not at the Olympics, but in gymnastics generally like at worlds
Yeah.
Soviet Union, CIS, Unified Team, Uzbekistan, Germany, Uzbekistan 😂
46 at Tokyo which was her last games
Yeah
Wild
Oooo USA vs USA fencing final that’s fun
When is it?
Just ended
I love that
I’m sobbing
Downie through to the uneven bars final
GBR through to team final
Fenton and Kinsella through to AA final
🥳
Just going through the other finals, no Brits on beam, vault or floor
13 min of stoppage time I’m impressed
OLYMPICS PREVIEW THREAD - DAY THREE
Eight GB medal chances tomorrow, including a couple of big gold chances.
Plus loads of other stuff. Busiest day so far....
Anyone watching Men’s surfing? The waves have gotten crazier from when the women were competing
2 for 1
I only saw where the waves pushed a guys pants down lol
Yes 🤣 that was Tim elter
Started watching the men’s! The waves did change for when the women were competing. Excited to see Mexico competing for that spot today
It's very convenient of them to have a colony 12 hours ahead so they can have programming for us when France is asleep
Gets a lot of eyes on the sport which is nice
There’s a Norwegian swimmer posting on TikTok about how obsessed he is with the chocolate muffins that are in the village and it’s very funny
I have gotten like ten of his videos
Let’s go Mexico! He did well today
He did! That’s the highest score of the day so far I think
I think so too! Let’s see how it goes. Also that water? It looks beautiful, so blue and clear
So gorgeous! My fiancé and I were both just saying how truly a pleasure to watch this is
My question is how do they account for like surfers who just seem to be getting better waves? Like these waves that allowed that Aussie to get a 9.87 were not showing up 2 hours ago
I think that is just nature of the sport
Or do they put the like higher ranked surfers at times that line up better with better projected swells for the day?
I’m not sure. It might just be the nature as elbee has mentioned. Wouldn’t the time of day affect it ? Like earlier in women’s the waves weren’t as as big as in the men’s.
Perhaps? But would it be fair though to the others ? Or what if the water is not as it was predicted?
Yeah the tides affect it, I think I remember the hearing the women were closer to the low tide?
I assume that on a larger scale, everyone has good waves and bad waves, so to speak?
Like you can also have a terrible day because the hotel AC was fucked and you didn't get the right amount of sleep, or the protein shake was wrong, or like, any other circumstance
So probably people with worse waves make do and in the next round maybe they have great waves
Also, how are they getting these in water shots? Do the camera men get tired? They must like take shifts? They can’t all be treading water for like 5 hours
I must try to know everything I can about surfing, hyper focus mode engaged
Yes most probably this is the case
That’s what I want to know 😩 I saw a drone flying above so it’s probably a mix between a team and drones? shoutout to the camera men tho. I saw a TikTok where waves caught one of the crew on the livestream
Yeah, there are also probably like photographers and camera people whose specialty is this. So maybe NBC contracts them for these specific events
It’s so funny when they give the bronze medalist a cell phone during the swimming victory ceremony to take a selfie
Social needs something
could do with my meeting wrapping up asap cos i kinda need to watch tom daley...
Very rude of your work to not take Tom Daley into account
The diving commentator really loves to use the word nuzzling huh…
they really do
i'm on a meeting with my colleague now and we're just watching it together then work-chatting when it's not tom 😂
Not them saying it’s good to have the French team there because it shows how good the others are 💀
Really miffed that I have a work travel week this week, how am I supposed to watch all these sports I know nothing about but am suddenly hyper-invested in?
They really are! 😭
eurgh the chinese are just TOO good
we do great dive, they do better (with lower difficulty) 😭
It’s annoying how good they are
kerSPLOSH
Splish splash
i mean i know we hate the french but this is hilarious
"shonky" - shoddy and wonky all in one go
It’s hard to be all those things at once, but the Aussies somehow managed it 😆
The Ukrainian’s were just doing their own thing there
i'm so nervous for these last two
The Germans are on the wonk now!
wowwwwwwww
China scoring double what the French scored in their final dive is crazy.
madness
I hope Tom’s happy with silver
i'm sure he is
Aww his coach is so emotional 🥹
I’m the dumbest motherfucker alive. I was just looking through the artistic swimming schedule and actually had the thought “oh why aren’t there solos”
Time for Nadal vs Djokovic 🫠
Questuo: for Australia 2032 are they gonna have to do the horses in a third country or have they sorted out quarantine rules. I was too young for it to click in Sydney.
I know they had to for 52.
Have fun
Yeah it’s going now
For Sydney it was two weeks pre quarantine in Europe, then another two weeks once they got here
Although we’re not exactly keen on horse events here culturally at the moment, it’s a big ethics issue
Congrats to team gb on a well deserved team event gold
Jesus, Djokovic is about to bagel Nadal I wanna kms
Okay it was a breadstick not a bagel but it’s still awful,
Sad for nadal, I can’t stand djokovic
Me neither!
Coco just absolutely dominating, love to see it
These young Japanese skaters are unreal
Nadal seems to have turned it on a bit more thankfully
Novak’s about to serve for the match though 🫠
I didn’t have much hope for Rafa but that breadstick felt particularly brutal to watch
Silver lining is that he can fully focus on doubles with Carlos
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
tom has no fucks left to give
hahahaha
nah i love the olympics
store up my patriotism for once every 4 years
For me it’s only for my ladies during the Olympics
I have downloaded the peacock app on my phone so I can watch the Olympics at work.
My boss works from home on Mondays so I’ve been watching at my desk. 🥳
This mens skateboarding final is gonna be wild
I am so excited for it
screams into the void
Men’s skateboarding final here we goooo
I’m watching the skateboarding and they are saying lots of words
It’s very interesting that they all wear headphones
But also where are their helmets? Their knee pads?
Safety first!
Street skates don’t really wear any pads. I think most of the women’s skaters did because they were kids/teens.
They know how to fall so they don’t hit their head. But it freaks me out!
i am marred to someone who has skated for 20+ years
they are a different breed
the amount of injuries he has had and just walked off is horrific
It’s like people who do snow sports without helmets or cycling I just don’t like it
“Jagger Eaton” tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
Jagger is pretty country too lol
He’s from Arizona of course he is
I had no idea people from Arizona were country tbh
Tony Hawk is watching!
They often fall on their wrists. I know an older skater who actually can’t bend his wrists back anymore because he broke them so much throughout his career.
That was a great run for nyjah!!
I’m switching to gymnastics after the skateboarding
Everyone gets 5 chances to do one “best trick” and they average that score into their run score. That ranking will determine the podium.
Thank you!
What gymnastics is happening rn?
Yeah men’s team final
Oh thank you for that reminder! Fredrick is my fav.
The pummel horse is such a weird one
Gold zone was showing me 10 sports at once a little bit ago.
YouTube tv split screen is my savior
Priorities
the bbc commentators telling us how the team gb gymnasts are doing even if the tv cameras aren’t showing it 😂
Ooop that boy nearly knocked his private parts in the skateboarding
and we’re guaranteed at least a bronze in the men’s canoe slalom 
But NBC is showing them that’s funny
Ok I’ve switched to the gymnastics
YES Nyjah on toppp, so happy for him
guaranteed silver with one to go 👀👀
Nyjah choked so bad last Olympics so this is great.
I know! I’m so happy he was able to recover from that and hopefully he takes the gold home this year
An American 1-2 in either order would be very pleasing 2 me
Would love for Nyjah to take it since he’s been so dominant everywhere else, but wouldn’t mind a jagger Nyjah 1-2
Also LOVE that Ryan sheckler is doing the commentary, he was my middle school celebrity crush lol
DAMN
that was HUGE from jagger!!!
HOLY
WOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW
95 is crazy
CRAZY
It’s great to see Ryan commentating. He’s pretty good at it! Plus he went through so much after that whole child star part of his life. Dude looks happy and healthy. now.
Harry Hepworth sounds like the name of a silent film star
He really does! I have been enjoying his commentary
I would have thought all your teammates shouting at you’re doing your routine would be a distraction
WTF
WOW THIS IS SO CLOSE
Awww the Japanese fan crying on the stands, Same girl
OMFG here we go
Damn, alright still a great showing Nyjah, a massive recovery from Tokyo
COME ONE JAGGER
Yuto pulled a Yuto! What a beast. This was really entertaining.
That was so fun, great skateboarding all around
Yeah the men’s street final!
Nice to see Nyjah on the podium after his crash out in Tokyo
Wish it was gold, but I can’t complain too much
Yuto laying that down was absolutely unreal
Silly of me to think Yuto was having an off day
Currently on US women vs China indoor volleyball
i’m watching the men’s gymnastics final while i’m working
Into men’s gymnastics, how those gymnasts arms don’t pop out of their sockets while doing moves like we just saw on the bar is astounding to me
Same
ooh, found the top events multiview on Peacock which is showing both the volleyball and the men's gymnastics (and 🇨🇦 vs 🇫🇷 basketball)
Mine is showing me the judo gold medal game and men’s gymnastics
Love the multi viewer! It’s how I’ve been watching most of thiss
Oooo and I just saw more surfing today!!
I am honestly in heaven, I love the Olympics lol
The way the gymnasts cheer for each other is so cute haha
And thank god they came on right after love island USA ended, I would have been absolutely lost
But my ADHD hyperfocus just got to move from one place to another lol
I thought all the Italian gymnasts were called Freddy because it’s written on their kit before I realised it must the name of a sponsor 😭
I was but just switched to the men’s surfing
I think I’ll switch to surfing after the match. It’s been a good game
Carlos Alcaraz starting soon!!!
Waves are looking fantastic for the surfing this morning
There’s a surfer with the name Alonso riding rn and all I keep thinking is feranando what are you doing here!
was it the same guy, or did two of their guys fall? what a heartbreak
Japan might do this they are crushing it
I can't even imagine
The Japanese boys hugging & crying & then shushing for the next competitor is making me teary I can't cope
I love it
Ohhhh this is gonna be so close
team gb are so strong on floor
They did so well
really lacking in the horizontal bar though
wouldn’t wanna be that chinese gymnast rn 😭
Someone give him a hug pls
Bless them
my boys!!!!
They look so happy 😭
i’m so proud
Japan that is 😂
our first team medal since 2008
So does USA 😂
Everyone’s happy but China 😭
Where did GB come?
4th
It’s that classic thing of China being devastated by Silver 😭
Oh 4th brilliant!
Yeh 4th is great!
They know they get sent to the gulag /j
My mum literally just made the same joke 💀
daisy got a bronze!!
The Eurosport’s commentary keeps saying how their neutral
Good job Daisy!!!
This is the Olympics. No one is neutral
She should automatically have got gold imo
No one is ever neutral in sport full stop. It’s not human to be neutral in these kind of situations. It irritates me when people pretend they are.
I’m ngl my favourite jokes so far are about the US not doing well in the shooting
They’ve never done well in those
god it’s so funny
They’re also bad at Nordic combined
It makes no sense
It’s all you can do in Colorado
valid. she will earn it with katie ledecky
Is there no one in Alaska’s who can ski and shoot oh my god
we have one of each
Maybe coz they’re used to automatics so they don’t aim???????
yeah gun culture here seems to be not so much about finesse and skill as it is about idiotic fascistic posturing and over-the-topness, so...
Back to surfing
any Nordic skiing event is one where I genuinely am equally happy with the US or Norway winning tbh, and Norway's a lot more likely
Got surfing on my tv, swimming, women’s 400 m final on my iPad
Macintosh and Grimes are running away with this
She was
GO ON
It makes me laugh how tan their bodies are and then their faces are just red
the fanny pack 😂
Summer mcintosh is SEVENTEEN
That’s crazy
It's the summer break and his birthday, why not?
Anyone watching the USA JPN Women’s bb game? This usa team is so stacked
He’s also obsessed with the muffins
His muffin videos are my favorite
Awww I didn’t realise Laura Winter was also on the Olympics coverage on Eurosport!
HI LAURA 🥰
What's hte crossover here with US people who have NFL red zone 💀
I need to find someone else who appreciates this
I don’t have red zone but I assume this gold zone is the same
It is
I think they hired the same producer that did it
But the fun/specific part is that there are two dueling Red Zone channels
one used to be through DirectTV and then moved to YouTube, I don't remember the other one (because i had the DirectTV one 😂 )
So there are debates online of which host is better
They are interchangeable white men who stand there for literally 7 consecutive hours on Sunday without a real break, hosting the swapping between games constantly
But the point here is that NBC Gold Zone has both of them
And this is so delightful to me personally
Cause I heard one sign off to the other one
They brought in the two specific experts in this exact skill set
That's so uncharacteristically smart by any company that I'm still in awe
I’m also really lazy so I like it changing sports
Like I would assume they hired neither of them and poeple would complain on twitter why are they trying to reinvent the wheel, just bring in Andrew Siciliano/Chris Hanson
But they did
And they got them both
Amazing
I don't believe laziness exists so I am simply enjoying it feeding me an unending stream of Sports Content for like all of my waking hours
I wanna be an Olympian purely for all the fun stuff, this is so cool https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeWT9SAc/
Dang they delayed the women’s surfing event because of conditions, no more Olympics to watch today. 😭😭😭
They have to save face after the way they talked about the Aus women’s 4x100 relay team
If anyone please sees a photo/video of what the chile olympic pin looks like, can you send it to me? I've searched everywhere and can't find it 😭
I haven’t seen Chile yet
Yes! The king of muffins dropped another
All the content from the athletes is making these Olympics so much more fun to watch
Ngl they do look delicious
Tokyo was special for me bc we were in lockdown, it was in a timezone I could actually watch, and it was just such a uniting moment
Also a friend of mine was competing
Tokyo was nice for me as well because it was so far ahead I would watch day time things after work.
Same with winter 22.
this one doesn’t feel like that because I don’t get to watch much, especially medal events, so it’s like “oh we got a 1-2 in the 200 free, cool”
Yeah
They really had to do him like that.
Seeing is overrated up there anyway.
how embarrassing that they are having to postpone events due to literal shit in the seine
GB through to the rowing final
I’m so annoyed the gymnastics start at 17:15 and I don’t finish work until 17:30
ah you likely won’t miss much in the first 15 minutes with them announcing teams and warm ups 🤞🏻
can you get it on your phone for the commute? 😂
I find it funny how GB are good at the traditionally posh sports; rowing, horsey ones.
Hopefully it’ll be on the radio but I should be home by 6 at the latest!!
It’s because they all went to public school
which is so funny to me because public school here is like, the ones open to the general public
no exams to get in, no tuition fees
yeah public v private v state is messy between UK, US and aus
one of the few things i’ll agree that you guys are right on, why do we complicate it 😂
Think Coco must have lunch reservations somewhere, she’s in a rush.
I can tell you the history if you want 😅
nah my sister is a teacher, it’s one of her favourite things to go off about 😭
Well I spoke too soon about Coco 😩
Dang, just tuned in
Coco 😭
As someone who also cries when their angry I get it 😭
Umpires never change their mind, so this is only going to end one way
I know, this is her fatal flaw
She’s gotta be careful, she could get a penalty
She’s gonna get in her head now, she should just let it go and keep it moving
Yup
Happened I’m at Roland Garros when she was playing Iga
So easy to say that though, I think I would be 100 times worse if it was me 😅
DON’T BOO HER
god French crowds are such trash
Right??? Why are they booing her?
They boo anything that interrupts play
Stupid French, leave my girl coco alone
To be fair they boo everyone, even their own players
Actually especially their own players 💀
But I wish they wouldn’t.
Damn on the replay, it sounds close but I don’t think the umpire was wrong there either
Man!!
Booing is actually classed as a sport in France
Along with judgey looks
And pretending you don’t speak English
Urgh I really thought she was going to break back at the end there
So tough for Coco, she would have been hoping for a medal here.
is she out??
Oh apparently she’s still in doubles and mixed doubles so she could still get a medal
She’s out in singles yeh 😔
I’m recording this for posterity
jack’s about to join her, he’s falling apart
A national sport 💀
I love all three of the eye rolls (so far) are from Brits
That would be me 😆
In high school I had to play half a water polo game half blind because one of my contacts fell out. It was terrible lol
what on earth
Losing to the US broke team GB
Aus also beat reigning Olympic gold medalists Serbia in water polo
this is too relatable lol
anyone watching the germeny/usa mens volleyball match?
This shit is electric!!!
and the men are fine as hell
It was really close. GB would have won but they got a penalty for doing a throw in wrong at the very last second and China took advantage of that
ahh
I love ilona maher from the us rugby team, i remember her from the last Olympics
shes amazing, the only reason im watching lol
I woke up this morning and the first thing out of my husbands mouth was “women’s rugby” 😂 it’s the only sport he’s been watching
Her job between games is nurse in San Diego
she also went to quinnipiac university which is a univesity near me!
maddy levi is a queen
good morning/afternoon/evening, I am the most excited that women's gymnastics finals start today!
Gold Zone is on women's singles table tennis and this has got to be a sport that is only gender segregated for the sake of men's egos, but it is a close match which is crazy impressive to watch
Shooting is because men got upset the women from China destroyed them
Ilona is the reason I’m bisexual
I want her to hug me and tell me everything’s gonna be ok
oh, I'm on the "ongoing coverage" stream not Gold Zone
I wanna get my hit of the John Williams music since only this stream ever uses it for no comprehensible reason
He’s an electric engineering PhD student I heard
He is!!
Noooooo I’m working
Part of me wants USA for Ilona but the other part of me wants NZL because I love them
NZL leading 7-5 at halftime lou
12-5 let’s go my babies
My babies that could crush me to death
And I would say thank you
im fine with this, i mean id love USA to win, but understand this is like THE game of new zeland lol
it's also the first time we've ever made it to the semifinals so team USA can be proud of that achievement regardless
Technically it’s the game of the British and look how well we did 😅
New Zealand is gonna go eat Australia in the gold medal game
Good ❤️
USA can still get bronze!
im just glad they made it farther than they did the last Olympics cause Ilona was sad as hell when that happened
I want her to get a medal
So she can wear a pretty dress and a medal
And lord over all of us
Omg amazing
I introduced one of my coworkers to Ilona this morning and now he has a crush too 😂
Australia’s Matthew Dawson thought his Games were over after a freak accident but a bold decision ensured he will still be part of a team chasing a medal
have you guys seen this one yet
Jesus Christ
i didnt even know men played field hockey!
damn, didn't need the description of his finger this early in the morning lol
it’s night time here
i like this quote "Despite a warning from his wife not to do anything “rash”
I watched the men’s hockey at London 2012, no where near as brutal as the women’s
women’s sports just tend to have that extra feral in them
It’s coz you can usually yank the hair
my grandpa lost part of one of his fingers when he was younger and he always loved showing his finger stub to people, especially kids
lol they’re spraying the crowd with water at the volleyball
there was a school I used to play in soccer that was renowned for being super dirty, there’d be at least one injury across the teams the weekend we played them
the one for ours was a French exchange student who was clearly our best player until about half an hour in when she was shoved into a goalpost and fractured her elbow
idk how many of them are rugby league background but I know the two Levi sisters have an AFL background
and that’s heavily running based
Also i love how much the rugby refs talk like during the game and we get to hear it. i wish all sports did that
It’s my fave thing about rugby
Especially the old Nigel Owens ref talks
it’s like that in afl too!
Is there a funnier official than the Welsh legend?
Ahead of his 100th test match as a referee, we count down the funniest 10 moments and memorable lines of Nigel Owens' Rugby World Cup career.
Enjoy your retirement, Nigel!

Razor Ray trying to calm Shaun Grigg down with a blood rule in the Richmond vs Port Adelaide game.
in like all other american sports you can see the refs talking throughout the game but only get to hear them when theres like a penalty
i assume they make sure we cant hear it othertimes because theres tons of swearing going on with the players, but id love to hear a mic'd up ref at all times in a hockey game
also love in rugby when a player gets a the ball and just takes TF off like the Canadian player just did, its very satisfying
lol the ref "please stop shouting at me"
In rugby the players respect the ref too much to swear at them
fun fact of the day in honour of the gymnastics team final - the USA back in the 70’s were one of the main teams that pushed and pushed for the gymnastics rule that means only 2 gymnasts per country can qualify for finals (because at the time, they weren’t very good) so it gave more opportunity to other countries outside the power houses. this then got extended from apparatus finals to the all-around in 2004. fast forward to 2024, and the US team would very very likely have gotten a 1-2-3 in the all around with the strength of their gymnasts, but the 2 gymnasts per country rule has bit a lot of countries in the bottom and they are now up in arms about it 🥰
so jordan chiles is missing out on likely at the least a bronze by qualifying 0.067 lower than suni lee 🫠
lol that is a fun fact
Part of me thinks it’s super unfair but part of me really likes it
Who
omg lou, you dont know who jojo siwa is?
id consider yourself lucky tbh lol
wow, this can/aus semi final is much closer than i expected!!
I assume the only guns that exist in the UK are for either this or fox hunting
rich people stuff
and to that, as an American, I say: god, if only...
wow, canada beat australia!!
another gold 🥇🇬🇧
yes that’s true
lol, cut to Ledecky in heats for the 1500m freestyle and she's so far ahead she's the only one on screen, as usual
Don’t forget the gangs
Shes insane. I love her.
I wanna be one of the people who rings a little bell at a swimmer when they approach the wall. what a whimsical thing to volunteer for
I want to be one of the people with the flag showing if someone goes out on the floor exercise
me and ilona maher have the same birthday
is vermont big on rugby?
do they play it on the snow?
lol good question, im not sure its that big anywhere in the US, but Vermont does have a "we love unconventional things" attitude/reputation to it so a womens rugby player coming from there makes sense
amazing, love that
So apparently the American gymnast (Stephen) with the glasses DOESNT ACTUALLY NEED GLASSES TO SEE
It’s a superstition
WHAT
That was such a mind blowing piece of info for me
(Though his pommel horse ability is 100% the most mind blowing thing)
This is his Olympic bio!
i used to be obsessed with sam mikulak, it was a shock when he popped up on my screen the other as the guys coach
Ok ok maybe he does I have been bamboozled
thats funny, i think his dad was wearing those sports specs yesterday while he was competing
Cute
he said in an interview i read that he does need glasses, but he takes them off when he actually competes cause he technically doesnt need too see, he "sees with his hands"
which is a baller move
he does seem to be very superstitious, in that same interview he said there are songs he refuses to listen to because he performed poorly when he was listening to them
am trying to watch the alcaraz/nadal match, but the channel its on is not working in peacock?
im just getting a coverage will resume message
i think a lot of the timings seem to have changed for the tennis today
yeah it hasn’t started yet
they’re still waiting to come out
ahhhh okay
Ahh this is so interesting to me! I was thinking yesterday about how an event like pommel horse probably doesn’t require great distance vision compared to something like, say, high bar, where you’d want clear vision to judge the distance between you and the bar
And this is all coming from someone who has never successfully completed a cartwheel in her life, so wtf do I know
Nadal/Alcaraz finally started, the arena love rafah so much its so cute
I have all these opinions on gymnastics and diving and rugby and in reality I can’t run or do a forward roll 😂
i love sports people and their weird superstitions
it's time!! let's go Suni Lee
and Team USA 🇺🇸 !!!
Ahhhhh it’s starting and I’m still at work
omfg i fucking love the "ole" chants the spanish fans do for alcaraz and nadal, its adorable
I’ve got Rafa on my tv and Simone on my iPad
same lol, rafa/alcaraz on my phone, simone on my desktop
the teams are walking out, nobody's started yet
Serena Williams is there
Ohhhh USA is starting on vault if I miss Simone’s vault I will kill people
Tbh I can just select to “watch from beginning” and then fast forward during breaks 😂
Ruby Evans representing Wales 🏴 ‼️
Gymnastics is on my phone while I pretend to work
can we talk about tonights uni's for the us?? they are so cutttteeeeee
It feels like they’re all wearing different uni’s tonight for the final?
honestly, how dare my boss give me work to do while this is happening
Very inconsiderate
who does he think he is??
honestly we should all be given 3 paid weeks off to watch
Ok I’m on my way home DID SHE BOSS IT
ooooh she’s saving the biles 2 for maybe the AA or vault final
Brazil unis look sooo nice
beam is actually the most insane apparatus
they are really cute, i love that everyone is leaning into sparkles
Not sure about Romania’s
I’m home and the Xbox is going on
i wish peacock let you like customize the multiview
Oh god I need a wee
If I was a male gymnast I would be jealous that the women get to do their floor routines to music
Technically the men can too
It doesn’t? I saw a screenshot from a guy that had 9 sports at the same time on his laptop. Maybe it wasn’t peacock then
They can?? Oh come on, who’s gonna be the first to do it!
there are just too many events i want to watch that are all happening at the same time. Gymnastics, tennis, mens soccer, basketball, womens rugby are all currently or about to happen!!
not that i have been able to figure out
Ok I’m just watching live I cba to rewind
Oh no!
The crowd cheering wildly at that point hasn’t helped
China having another bad day 😬
My stream didn’t show Jordan
Did show all the cheers for her right after the Chinese woman fell off the beam
Me neither, I’m hoping we’ll get a replay
Sounded a bit like they were cheering for her fall 😂
It did 😭
