Tokyo Olympics 2021

They're really fucking this up huh

Or, if you can't beat them, injure them.

It’s not their Olympics. Later in the article it says a bmx rider cracked a knee cap when crashing into an official walking across the track during a training session.

BMX official getting in the way

It seems that AVDB is not injured, thankfully.

That tweet is far more gracious than I think I would have managed.

Its people from Toyota trying to ruin the view of NL as a cycling paradise.

"It's dangerous, here, buy this Yaris instead"

The GB vs US Rugby 7's match was fun

Just reading about case numbers ij Tokyo going mad. 150 cases linked to athletes coming for event. I think the human toll will be high. Tragic.

This Argentina vs SA rugby 7 match is awesome as well, delivering all the drama

Rugby 7s... Are these chaps professionals in "standard" rugby or is it much more specialist? It looks fucking brutal, like playing five-a-side football on a regulation pitch.

Mostly specialist

Gamjons sound absolutely delicious

Gamjons include kicks in the balls, so I would disagree.

Pain isn't for everyone

Never go full Aussie swimming coach

You're just jealous your coach isn't that emotionally involved in your performances.

It was painfully obvious he wanted to make that about him.

WAC

telling my kids this was user hippy

It looks fucking brutal

It is. As an old, fat-ish forward/occasional rugby league player who used to play this at the end of the season and not be able to walk by the end of a day of it, I can only imagine what these guys go through with oxygen debt. They must be burning by the end, even though they are insanely fit. Ludicrously fast game at this level.

(P.S. If you think this is fun, watch rugby league 9s - ace + guaranteed no chino shorts/boat shoes!)

Brazilian surfer, Italo Ferreira, breaking his board then coming back to take gold. Great stuff!

Posh twats fucked the horse dancing.

Niek is a classy bloke 👍

Does anyone know wtf that boat was doing at the women's tri start?
