My goodness, Jamaica have NO golds, and only 4 other medals - even after all the athletics ~~and bobsleigh~~. What happened to them?!

This Brazilian skateboarder, after he'd completed a successful routine, just screamed into the camera "CARALHO!!". Kenneth

There's a runner called Speedy Sember in this Olympics.

Apparently, there isn't. The BBC lied to me. Colbert

It's Cindy Sember.

Hence the "When's Christmas" jokes.

I saw there was a horse rider in the Olympics called something Canter.

I saw him interviewed yesterday. He's 51. He has been skateboarding for 40 years. He came 18th out of 18. box

The vast majority of runners in the women's 10,000 metres literally look absolutely tiny.

I like the Slovenian runner.

I have nothing against it as an art form but who on earth decided to put breakdancing into the Olympics?! It's a type of dancing, not sport! Whatever next? Olympic ballet?! They've even used the abbreviated name "breaking" so no one notices. Apparently it was to attract the yoof, and they made it all proppa hip hop themed and

-like as that's what the yoof like.

Anyway, it's a Paris-only event and has been cancelled for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

I suppose there's synchronised swimming, but I've always found that a bit of a weird inclusion, intriguing as it is, and I always manage to miss it anyway. Was it even in this year?

I think Breaking learning at the Olympics would be a better inclusion. This forum would surely win gold in that. box

Can Breaking learning be the official Olympic sport of the New Hall of the Wendigo?

Following its successful debut at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires

I blame the yoof.

The competition will witness a total of thirty-three breakers (sixteen B-Boys and seventeen B-Girls)

What about the B-Sides?!
