Tokyo Olympics 2021

About half the field was on Aerocoach Lann bars

air-humping

is definitely windsurfing's new name.

Aussies looked like they were partly Ti - another Bastion product? Snappy snappy owies

China copies on courier bikes soon?

Probably the most controlled Omnium ride I've ever seen. Excellent riding by Walls.

This pic looks like the ill fated tandem on a single bike event.

I've never seen that video before.

My memories are probably from the '70s,
maybe patchy Grandstand coverage of a World Championships?,
with a Czech pair sliding down the banking.

Should have just used a guy on a segway

That might have been their plan A but they aren't made any more apparently. I, for one, am shocked that such a sensible mode of transport never caught on.

Three male climbers tied for points going into the last event. It's going to be a nail biter, I'm rooting for the home favourite Tomoa.
The last boulder looked absolutely un-climbable.

Gawn Bahamas !!!

Also Colombia and Grenada shutting out the USA from the podium in the mens 400m final

Women's pole-vault was exciting!

Medals are to be made of chocolate, so when they fucking try to eat them they are not disappointed

Speed climbing can get in the bin. could be improved by doing it over water and doing flips to recoup points if they fall off.

With a little medal inside so the really aggressive biters lose a tooth?

Also the lads in charge of the hyperlapse camerawork need to reel it in a bit. It works for dynamic sports with lots of aerial business but not so much for a stationary person on a wall 20ft away

the hyperlapse (is that really what they're calling it?) spinning-jerky-shit-cam can do one.
traditional slo-mo shots are much better imo.

the speed climbing could be improved if they actually did it along the floor with a top down camera.
speed obstacle crawling.
only allowed to use fingertips and toes.

We call it "shitty Matrix cam" in this house.
And, agreed, it can get in the fucking bin
