Tokyo Olympics 2021

Happy for Japan to win as hosts but can't see me tuning in regularly if that is the pinnacle of the sport. Still better than horse dancing though.

Definitely going to think about painting my Cervelo P2 candy metallic red

Why this is an Olympic sport, i do not know (well, money and influence, obvs).

What about netball, ffs?

Better than baseball. Dopefest dull as fuck bullshit.

Ditto tennis.

And golf.

Cyclists in glass houses...

What about netball, ffs?

Funny enough I mentioned this over the weekend, and looked into it.

Apparently there needs to be an active participation in 75 countries (men's sports) or 40 countries (women's).
Netball is mainly popular in commonwealth countries,so doesn't reach a wide enough audience at this time.

Doesn't explain why cunting about on a horse is in the Olympics (or even a fucking "sport" in the 1st place)

I always thought airgun shooting was the worst.

Right then keep e upees done all over the world girls as good a boys , put in a few obstacles wobble board egg shaped balls cricket tennis bowling best out of ten wins. No effin fancy pant uniforms either.

Currently world netball federation currently has over 70 member countries…
This from their site

• World Netball is responsible for Netball across the Globe with currently seventy-six (76) Members, fifty-five (54) Full Members and Twenty Two (22) Associate Members*
  

Bit of both. Big nations have full time 7s programs who play the World Series. But some also add in a few big name stars from 15 a side like Semi Radrada for Fiji. If people don’t know who he is check him out, one of the finest physical specimens you can ever see. Some also do a bit of both, I assume because they don’t make much doing 7s so need a cash boost and I guess get some fitness.
Amazingly after silver in Rio GB pulled funding for their 7s team and they all had to get jobs or 15 contracts

Watching the ladies tri makes me think a crit race in the olympics would be absolute bedlam. Be interesting to see who people pickers though

Yep. Mixed air pistol? What a load of wank.

^ unless we win a medal in it obvs.

The Boss's kid, US IOS member.

Uran will win the TT.

no pog in the ITT is a bit rough

remco's position 👌🏼

And they missed his start.

He'd need all the money Vino gave him, plus more to buy off the opposition.

Biles out of the Olympics. Real shame, hope she’s got good people around her.

Just been educated on gymnastics version of "the yips" which is called "the twisties".

Too dangerous for her to continue.

Especially 10m air rifle. Zzzz

Doesn't exactly require athletic prowess does it.

The UCI official in the start house needs someone to teach her how to properly do the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown with her fingers.

Amateurish.

You lot would probably be quite surprised how much core strength and aerobic conditioning goes into competing at the highest levels of target shooting. Not suggesting its a physically intensive sport, but its much more involved than just practicing shooting all day every day.

In the mens coxless 4s the GB boat nearly rammed the italians in the next lane. it was wild
