[wary shell]

I first learned about his obsession in sports with his love of Will Power the IndyCar driver and then the water polo team now the is. 😭

[raw vapor]

What was the water polo thing

[wary shell]

He’s the USA women’s water polo main sponsor

Because they were all working jobs outside of training and wanted them to focus on defending their gold

They didn’t have enough money.

[raw vapor]

Dying at the photo selection for the horses mid jump

Also I bet Matt Hamilton is confused why his photo is recirculating in the summer Olympics as a curling athlete with the Bottas meme.

One of them played volleyball and I’ll figure out which.

[lone dove]

USMNT crumbling as expected 😫

once again proving how absurd it is that the women had to sue for equal pay

[sharp skiff]

Oooooffff just checked in with the score that’s rough

[cosmic jasper]

everyone act surprised

[wary shell]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-falling-gif-2829327295667490896

[cosmic jasper]

the dm i just got

[wary shell]

The men are bringing national shame yet again.

Across all sports.

Put them in jail.

Let them think about their actions.

[wintry turtle]

This is coming from a place of ignorance about anything related to horses but LOOK AT THE LITTLE HORSEY HATS WITH THE POINTY EARS omg I love that

[cosmic jasper]

i could rant about the us development programs all day and how we’re never going anywhere because all they focus on is who can pay to play from such a young age. it don’t get me stared

most accessible sport across the world and somehow we cannot manage that

[wary shell]

They need sports to be a financial burden

[sharp skiff]

4 nil, this is an embarrassment

But also like I keep trying to remember any good players the us has aren’t on this team. Which makes the fact the women had to argue for equal pay even more fucking absurd

[oak geyser]

same here, every single gold is still won by women for us

We’ve got a shot for the men to contribute in the tennis and the mixed relay

[scarlet cedar]

that’s INCREDIBLE

go australia

that’s 8 golds, right??

[oak geyser]

Yep

[scarlet cedar]

we’re 4 vs 4 + one mixed team

[oak geyser]

Ariarne Titmus, Mollie O’Callaghan, Grace Brown, women’s 4x100, women’s 4x200, Jess Fox, Jess Fox again, Kaylee McKeown

[scarlet cedar]

amazing

[oak geyser]

Jess has a shot at a third gold, competing against her sister

[scarlet cedar]

in the cross event? i’m watching the time trials now and i’m so excited for it

[oak geyser]

Yeah

[wary shell]

It’s like 7 to 9 for the US. Men’s rowing (what) and the 4x100 relay. Otherwise it’s all women’s teams or individual.

[oak geyser]

the men have won quite a few silvers, so they’re not entirely out of it

[wary shell]

Yeah

[scarlet cedar]

yeah but as collective golds, that’s 7 to 2 for the women, no? so win

[wary shell]

Yeah.

Exactly.

[scarlet cedar]

team women

[wary shell]

Taking them to the cleaners.

The rugby and fencing teams make me cry.

[oak geyser]

Saya Sakakibara is another to watch, she’s in the BMX cross

https://www.mamamia.com.au/who-is-saya-sakakibara-bmx-athlete-kai-sakakibara/amp/

[scarlet cedar]

gonna be so tight between her and beth shriever

[oak geyser]

Watching her fall in Tokyo knowing what happened to her brother the same way

[cosmic jasper]

that’s a slay

[oak geyser]

a lot of our outside chances in athletics (we are notoriously a bit shit there) are also women too

[scarlet cedar]

i just want to be dropped by the shoot thing they use in the canoe cross, it would be so fun

[oak geyser]

also apparently the shooting targets are like, coin sized

[limber lotus]

spent all afternoon working catching up on the last three days of olympics

now to catch up on today 😂

[oak geyser]

for those who weren’t aware the kayakers kneel in those boats not sit

it doesn’t seem comfortable

[cosmic jasper]

omg

[oak geyser]

Anyway Jess and Noemie both top 8 (of 37) in the qualifiers

[small phoenix]

Their core strength must be insane

[scarlet cedar]

i wonder if they get pins and needles

[wary shell]

I saw a video of a kayaker getting out and I was like ON THEIR KNEES?!

[sharp skiff]

lol I’m sorry what??? That is mind blowing

[last pulsar]

I suppose because it helps with balance maybe?

[sand hearth]

Kayakers sit, canoe kneel

It depends on the category

1 ended paddle = kneel
2 ended paddle = sit

[last pulsar]

Interesting!

[oak geyser]

Jess won gold for both

[sand hearth]

She did! She's incredible and a real example for the sport

[oak geyser]

I feel bad for Noemie bc she’s highly ranked but can never make it to the Olympics until now bc her older sister is just better

[wary shell]

Someone lost their cap in water polo

Someone had to go to the bottom to go get it

They’re so strong I’m tired watching them

Who invented this sport

A fish?

[wintry turtle]

No seriously how do they tread water for so long AND throw and catch the ball with just one hand

[granite idol]

Conditioning for water polo is so hard. I almost drowned my first practice lol. I was in the best shape of my life when I played.

[wary shell]

I bet.

3x3 basketball is so odd to me.

It’s like a 1/3 court.

Matt ebden was scheduled for mixed doubles and then men’s doubles half an hour later, thankfully the rain intervened to reschedule that

[wary shell]

And by they I also mean us swim team not the organizer only

Bc of what team lower level thing he had to do between or before a final

[oak geyser]

Do your athletes not get to pick their events?

[wary shell]

I don’t know it was very weird it sounded like the team had some say

[oak geyser]

Or were they not confident in the reserves to make it through the heats

[wary shell]

WOOOOOOO USA USA USA USA

[last pulsar]

If Max can’t win (and obviously he can’t) I want Rhys to win, would be so great for Ireland to get a medal!

[lone dove]

dunno how Steve is going to best that routine from the Irishman, that was PERFECTION

[cosmic jasper]

that was fantastic

[limber lotus]

Apparently the American comms called Rhys Prince of the pommel

🥹🥹

[granite idol]

Honestly, I just want Steve to have fun

[last pulsar]

Rhys is the current world champion, I think he was the favourite coming in.

[sharp skiff]

I love that Steve is named Steve its such a like average white American name lol

[scarlet cedar]

rhys is so good!!

[last pulsar]

He’s in the lead!

And he’s crying 🥹

He’s not even won yet and he’s crying 😭

[lone dove]

oh Steve is already having fun, look at him

[sharp skiff]

COME ON STEVE

HORSE NERD ILU

[last pulsar]

How old is he?

[sharp skiff]

25?

Someone get that man his glasses!

[granite idol]

Google says 25

[last pulsar]

His coach jumping in the background 😭

[wary shell]

That’s our engineering PhD nerd

[last pulsar]

So he can probably carry on to LA then?

[sharp skiff]

I’d assume so!

Though less familiar how age works with male gymnasts

[wary shell]

Yeah same

Brody don’t take everyone down

[scarlet cedar]

max is 31

[last pulsar]

I’m guessing every American athlete that can possibly carry on for another 4 years will do, just to have the experience of a home Olympics

[scarlet cedar]

so he can definitely make it to LA

[sharp skiff]

Alright 3rd I’m happy with that for him

[last pulsar]

31 is old for a gymnast!

[wary shell]

They’re all gonna try for LA. It’s going to be an insane Olympic trials for most sports.

[sharp skiff]

lol they were literally just saying to each other were running it back in LA baby

[scarlet cedar]

it is! but when he’s already only a pommel specialist at 25, i think he could make 29 on it

[last pulsar]

Oh yeh I was just talking about Max

[scarlet cedar]

yeah sorry i was comparing them aha, like max doing just pommel at 31 vs him being 29 then

max is killing it at that age

ugh i hate some of the age related things sport makes me say 😂

[small phoenix]

I know Fredrick has said he’s only 20 so he’s definitely gonna be back.

[scarlet cedar]

max with the highest difficulty by a few tenths as well 🔥

[sharp skiff]

I love when they spin around on their hands, they look like cats making biscuits but fast

[cosmic jasper]

the way they’re so quietly like and steven will win the bronze

[wary shell]

He’s already got a flag cape

I believe the silver medalist will get a 2 bedroom apartment back home.

[restive agate]

I cannot keep crying at these sports good god

[wary shell]

Now it’s time for a break. I’m gonna watch shot put final in an hour.

Gonna become an expert in it.

This was the first medal for Kazakhstan in artistic gymnastics as an independent nation they’re reporting which feels wrong but I guess lmao.

Olympic history!

Coxswain Henry Fieldman has become the first person to win an Olympic medal in both men’s and women’s events.

so cool! but god it's going to keep fueling the Discourse

Fieldman does not deserve what's going to be coming his way in the comments

[unique wing]

Oh how fun!

[silk zephyr]

Coxswains can be any gender

[lone dove]

not going to matter I fear

[silk zephyr]

But the comments about hiding the tweet from JK Rowling is hilarious

[lone dove]

the headline is enough

they don't care about facts ☹️

[silk zephyr]

It’s gonna be a great pub quiz question tho

[lone dove]

ooh for sure

[last pulsar]

The terfs are gonna go crazy

[silk zephyr]

Surely they’d be happy the the cox is a man

[last pulsar]

I saw this tweet saying “terfs will accuse a women will slightly more testosterone of being a man, but if you want to take testosterone they tell you you’re not one” 💀

[scarlet cedar]

the dutch men’s eight team had a female cox too!!

[scarlet cedar]

saw a related tweet about joe rogan, who presumably has had some silly thoughts about the situation

Joe Rogan is a low T male
He openly speaks about being on testosterone replacement.

Joe Rogan is claiming that high T in women makes them a male.

By his own logic, Joe Rogan is a biological woman presenting as a trans man.

Yeah that’s true

[lone dove]

the most iconic nails in the Olympics up next with Sha'Carri Richardson 💅🏻

[wary shell]

She’s a DNS naurrrr

[last pulsar]

Dina didn’t make the final 🫤

And she seems confused more than anything!

[wary shell]

I’ll forever be mad about her being banned from Tokyo for the positive weed test with some of the people who came to this games

[small phoenix]

Is Shelly Ann doing any other event or is she just out for this Olympics? 😮

[wary shell]

I think she’s still on relays

[cosmic jasper]

also it’s a whole thing that makes me go crazy because it’s weed. that’s not a ped

there shouldn’t be a possibility for it to be a reason to be banned

imo

[scarlet cedar]

that was bizarre - she seemed so perplexed 😕

[cosmic jasper]

i love watching sha’carri just cook and catch at the end

[wary shell]

She was coasting

[scarlet cedar]

alfred looks so strong too

[wary shell]

Spain wins

[sharp skiff]

Ugh, i love when the team I want to win wins on pks but hate pks when the team I don’t want to win wins lol

[last pulsar]

I think Alfred might win the final, just because she looks more relaxed than Sha’carri

[sharp skiff]

It would have been awesome to have Spain out of this

And the columbines look so sad 😞

[wary shell]

Today is the best day with swimming, gymnastics, and track and field.

[lone dove]

yeah I fear for the US if we end up facing Spain... was hoping Colombia would take them out

[wary shell]

As long as it’s not Canada I’m not in the mood for their spin about this adversity

[lone dove]

I'm glad Jamaica is in the 100m final, they're too iconic at sprinting not to be

[sharp skiff]

No it’s so wild like, y’all were literally caught cheating. Nothing is against you and you did this to yourself

[restive agate]

Did they say why? I missed it & just saw the empty lane

[sharp skiff]

They have not said anything yet

Idc if it was just the coaches heavy is the crown

it’s the most corrupt sport of all time

and that’s a bold statement in an f1 server

[wary shell]

I was surprised they added it to the Olympic program.

[scarlet cedar]

it’s always been in

they are getting rid allegedly

[wary shell]

Which one did they add that I’m thinking of then

[scarlet cedar]

in LA

[scarlet cedar]

hmm they added karate for tokyo?

[wary shell]

Maybe I’m going insane don’t mind me

[scarlet cedar]

or maybe thinking of women’s, that was only added in london, i think?

[limber lotus]

Okay I am back, the kids are in bed

[wary shell]

It shows you how much I don’t care about it

It could go away forever and I would shrug

[limber lotus]

Did anything exciting happen since the pommel horse

[restive agate]

Yeah they added women's in London

[limber lotus]

Cos my app says no medals

[restive agate]

Katie Taylor campaigned to get it added

[lone dove]

speaking of sports being added, you know I root for my country but the rest of the world has the opportunity to do the funniest possible thing and beat us at "gridiron" (American football) on our own soil

in LA in 4 years

(also tangentially related to the earlier convo in terms of brutally violent sports I don't care for)

[wary shell]

Its flag football at that

[lone dove]

wait really

[wary shell]

Yes

[lone dove]

that is hilarious on its own

nope not for us

Can you tell I haven't read emails all week

oh for real, if there is women's flag football I'm a lot more amenable to that
