    I'm pretty sure i can dig out a post from 5 years ago that says exactly the same thing but

    Channel 7s prime time coverage, and Hamish McLaughlin can eat a fat dick. It's fucking prime time, i don't want to watch endless replays of Aussies from earlier in the day. I don't want interviews. I don't want to hear from the fucking families. I don't want a little social media segments. i want sports. All the sports. Last night i saw a snippet of the guy who came fucking 3rd in the Time Trial. A snippet!!! Did they show who won? Did they fuck. I did, however, watch Jess Fox fuck up her run about 18 times. And a fucking metre by metre breakdown of a swimming race.

    Yes, before you say it, there is an app. But the internet at my house is positively 3rd world, and the outside TV is battling a bit. So i am stuck with the two channels. And by god do i hate Hamish.

    And i can't wait for the swimming to finish so i don't have to hear from Basil fucking Zempa-whateverthefuckyournameis any more. What a bellend

    @mariner4life I feel your pain, you're essentially living in the 90s. Just replays of Aussie wins while 95% of the action happens away from your eyes. It must suck hard.

    @barbarian Spot on about Skateboarding and Surfing. Great additions to the Olympics.

    Personally I don't think Tennis or Golf should be there when there are other bigger events in those sports not only this year, but this month.

    Right on! How annoying they didn't include hopscotch, marbles, soapbox derby and kick scooters.

    I watched some 3 x 3 basketball the other night and put it down as some the worst sport I've ever seen.

    It's just practice.

    I guess you could say that is what weight lifting is too, though 😉

    Scrummaging practice will be in there by 2036, I reckon. Maybe the goal kicking practice before the coach turns up,could olympasize that.

    Slip cradles by 2040. Or net bowling? Who can best banana bend swing the 2 piece cricket ball.

    I didn't know the 3x3 basketball would be that bad. It looks very amateurish. There's a lot of chucking.

    @nzzp 11 to 9 in the seventh after an epic rally. The legend of Ma Long just keeps going on.

    that's as good a contest as you'll see. Some of the rallies were insane

    Its a shame the woman's sculls cant also do a 1000m, 500m, 2500m, forward, backwards as well...then we could clean up in the medals like the other countries do in swimming...

    At least we have the kayaking to come, Lisa "Big guns" Carrington must be a serious contender again

    Lisa Carrington. One should not find someone with shoulders like that so attractive.
