scarlet cedar
#

lone dove
#

if they wanted to go monochromatic they should've done Ferrari red instead of the white

scarlet cedar
#

america, does your 5th gymnast even do anything????

#

she’s still in her tracksuit as if she’s just here for the vibes

silk zephyr
#

There are too many Americans

lone dove
#

idk if she's here for an event they'll get to later, or an alternate here for moral support

last pulsar
#

If any sport needs me to go along for moral support they just need to let me know, I’ll be there!

silk zephyr
#

I always need moral support 😂

scarlet cedar
#

i think she just does beam

#

actually scratch that

#

i actually don’t think she is doing any

#

i didn’t realise that was allowed

silk zephyr
#

Oh I love the Chinese leos

wary shell
#

She didn’t qualify for any events.

scarlet cedar
#

wary shell
#

Yeah she does uneven bars from what I hear

scarlet cedar
#

wary shell

It’s so good considering LA is hosting it next. I really hope they inspire a new generation

#

Does anyone actually know what they’re getting in the boxes with the medal?

sharp skiff
#

i think i heard the announcer say a poster?

silk zephyr
#

Really poured the money into that didn’t they

scarlet cedar
#

silk zephyr

Weird

sharp skiff

#

Well above New Zealand tbh

wary shell

I like the random Canadians mixed in

#

Theyre gonna go sit with their friends

I mean half of them have played together at club rugby

A few of them won the prem with Sarries a few years ago

Alright coco heading on with taylor fritz in mixed doubles

#

That was so close

scarlet cedar
#

what a good race

sharp skiff
#

that was v fun, finke's come back ability is crazy

scarlet cedar
#

i thought he was gonna get it at one point but wiffen just had the slight edge

silk zephyr
#

Finke timed it brilliantly

#

He nearly had it

#

Another 50m and he would’ve had it I track on

#

Reckon

#

Oo the prada glasses

#

Adam Peaty competed while positive for covid 🤦🏻‍♀️

last pulsar
#

Fuck him.

sharp skiff
#

did he know he was positive?

scarlet cedar
#

surely not

#

he also got his medal presented by princess anne 😬

silk zephyr
#

He was “feeling unwell” before the race but they didn’t test him until after

last pulsar
#

Oh hang on, I read that as competing. Present tense.

silk zephyr
last pulsar
#

But even so, he was feeling ill, if it was any other day you know he would probably have tested sooner.

silk zephyr
#

He’s planning on continuing to compete at the Olympics

scarlet cedar
#

i wonder what the covid rules are around the whole games

#

i imagine there aren’t many

last pulsar
#

But if he knew he was positive he would have had to make an awkward decision.

last pulsar
silk zephyr
#

Despite most evidence showing you should now stop all exercise for at least a month after infection and he could possibly still be infectious in the other events

last pulsar
#

Literally zero.

scarlet cedar
#

i figured

silk zephyr
#

Jade Carey on the gymnastics team is also apparently unwell and just isn’t testing

scarlet cedar
#

i mean if there are no regulations, they can’t really do anything

#

they’re not gonna miss out on an olympics if it’s optional

silk zephyr
#

Which is completely ridiculous

#

We have the same commentator saying “semifinal” incorrectly im going to throw something at my tv

#

Why does the Irish guy look so Irish

scarlet cedar
#

he’s not even irish 👀👀👀

#

he was born in leeds

#

he represents northern ireland in the commonwealth games 😂

silk zephyr
#

Close enough I suppose

#

Leeds, Limerick, they start with the same letter

#

But also if I had the choice between being one of 100 for GBR or one of 5 for Ireland I know which way I’d go

Do you guys remember rave horse?

This is so tense 😩

silk zephyr
#

I just found out that apparently all the acts for the opening ceremony were told they were pre-recording to make sure it sounded good and Céline said no I’m doing it live

last pulsar
#

Ironic that in the end she was the only one who sounded good

sharp skiff
#

Fuck yeah Celine that’s so awesome

last pulsar

Aww Neal Skupsi is in Dan and Andy’s box cheering them on

Working from home today so it is wall to wall Olympics for me 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

scarlet cedar
#

anti american olympic discourse for today (this is what my twitter provides me): america are one of the only countries who rank their medal tables by total medals instead of gold medals! in the official medal table, team GB are 4th with 6 golds, ahead of USA in 7th with 4 (china, japan and france 1-2-3) however america have 27 total vs our 17 so are top of the table in their own.

#

would be interesting to see what the discourse in the states is for you guys, cos around the world, it’s that they have underachieved on expected golds so far

#

same with china

lone dove
#

I try to avoid wider internet discourse mostly, but as an American I think ranking by total medal count is silly

last pulsar
#

Yeh must say I was surprised when I checked the medals table today that USA was so far down.

lone dove
#

If you're going to use all medals to determine the ranking at least weight the golds highest, silver next, and then bronze

last pulsar
#

And I know China are top, but a lot of the events they’re best at are weighted at the start of the Olympics, so for them only to be one ahead was a surprise,

lone dove
#

having only 4 golds at this point is definitely a surprise, other countries are really doing an amazing job this time!

#

it is nice to see the host country up there

#

obvs I still hope we pull it back

last pulsar
#

I’m sure you can once the athletics start 😅

scarlet cedar
#

you’ll defo pull it back with individual gymnastics, athletics and katie ledecky 😂

lone dove

and basketball

#

kind of unfair the level of pro talent we bring there

They’re gonna move IndyCar to CNBC to show their medal table

Yeh even I know him 😅

wary shell
#

I make fun of their unweighted table every year

last pulsar
#

Where have the US underperformed then? Because it doesn’t feel like there’s been any big shocks where they should have won something.

wary shell
#

It’s always like this in the beginning

#

It’s about the order of the sports

last pulsar
#

Yeh I know, and I know you’ll pull it back, but @scarlet cedar said there was a feeling they’d underperformed and I just wondered if there was anything specific

#

Like with China, the gymnastics were obviously a disaster

scarlet cedar
#

yeah america are always stronger at the end but they are definitely usually further ahead by now! i might do some digging later and see what they have had so far in recent years

#

i’m thinking maybe less swimming than usual this year

lone dove
#

that's possible

#

Phelps is retired, Ledecky is still here but challenged more by the Australians

#

esp in the shorter events

wary shell
#

Phelps did way too much for events lol

#

Set expectations to the moon

That’s about what I think about sorting by total count over gold

Sidenote, that’s Kaylee McKeown who dedicated the win to her late father

she also celebrated her gold in Tokyo by going “fuck yeah” on live tv

my favourite thing when the swimmers can’t see the screens to see how they did

My current favorite thing is the towel wraps tennis players use too cool off

not slugs 🤢 😂

They’re so low tech; just towels filled with ice cubes. You’d think they’d have come with something more sophisticated 😅

Why was the British swimmer dsq?

I’m not sure, they didn’t know at the time and then I had to switch off.

They thought it might be because he was under the water for longer than 15m which isn’t allowed.

It’s only different from any other biological advantage because we’ve tried to apply a binary to it

But it’s no more “unfair” than being tall or whatever

I was reading up on it earlier, apparently 16% of male athletes have testosterone levels that are low enough to be within the female limit but they're not actually tested during competition

#

13% of female athletes have high testosterone levels within the male limits

raw vapor
#

That’s really interesting and not at all surprising

sand hearth

It clearly doesn't work as a system of regulation, especially when it's publicised to the media before the athletes themselves

raw vapor
#

Also the organisation that conducted the gender test she “failed” was stripped of its right to sanction elite competition by the IOC soon after

sand hearth
#

Do we really think the Olympics would risk letting someone participate in the wrong category? Seriously?

The fact governing bodies want athletes to take hormone replacements the lower testosterone levels as if that's not going against the code for doping? It's just faux science at this point
