The WSF Paris Olympics 2024 thread

I spent last night watching the Boomers choke a 24 point lead over Serbia. The coach took Mills and Exum off when they were on fire we lost momentum and Serbia just put their authority on to us. And then they had to give me false hope by sending it to O/T, just to again screw up in the last 90 seconds.... Very frustrating.

Climbing week in our house.

Competitors are crazy good.

Watching the speed climbing now…amazing stuff…

Not a climbing style that would  transfer to the real world…but entertaining :lol:

Yeah...so this speed climbing is pretty awesome, would recommend if not seen before.

I wonder what the serious climbers and free climbers think of it though :lol:

I can imagine they might be quite snobby about it perhaps.

Very entertaining though and looks fun in the crowd. Added to the Brissy list.

Skateboarding and speed climbing has been my peak. Just awesome to watch

I've seen a lot of people complaining that Skateboard shouldn't be an Olympic sport.

I think it's been a great addition to the game. 

I still wish they added Lawn Bowls. It's fun to watch that in the Commonwealth games

You forgot egg and spoon race.

Too late for me.

I was primary school egg and spoon race champion 1988. I doubled my gold medal tally that year with a win in the sack race. Beaten into 3rd place in the gum boot throwing comp.

The only thing I was good at was Shot Put back in the day at school carnivals.

In celebration of the Olympics, work has been doing some social events for the past week and this week. There's 8 teams and one if the events was egg and spoon racing around the office. I didn't participate but in traditional fashion, my team came last.

There was: Bowling, Paper Plane Throwing, Darts, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Mario Kart on the Wii, Table Tennis and some more

I used to regularly win the shot put at my school athletics carnivals. Then I'd go to the district one against the other schools and a bunch of islander kids would casually stroll up and with minimal effort launch it twice as far as I could.

Still, it was a day off school.

Never attended that many high school athletics carnivals, but did attend next day / week detentions I recall. 

Teacher asking us what we did instead...well sir...we went to the off licence, bought some cider and sat in a bus shelter and proceeded to drink...:lol:

You know the river is a bit rough when they can do the swimming and the running legs of the triathlon on it.
