Skateboarding in the Olympics! What’s next? Sailing?

Over 50? That’s still kids to me

There is apparently a new rule in the skateboarding competition everyone gets a gold medal for just getting to Japan. If your flight was cancelled due to westher you can apply for a snowflake exception tomorrow

Okay, that’s enough meanness for today. Hey, a CUMULUS!!!


I know someone on the Olympic Sailing committee. He was an olympic contender 10 or so years ago.

I did a summer in a Britton Chance’s lab in the 1970s and sailed with him. That guy could find wind in a freezer.

All the bad puns, clever as they are, cannot replace 1 centimeter of a good skateboard race.

Olympic skateboarding. Stupid.

There are so many other "sports" in the summer games that are absolutely ridiculous.

I’ll confess I’m a ..

How fast, how far, how high, how many goals

… kind of sports guy when it comes to medals.

Still, there is incredible talent in the “ artistic points” category of sport that is still enjoyable to watch.

Congrats on your bronze, Simone. Get it gold plated

you've got to admire the enthusiastic camaraderie of the skateboarders... some other sports could learn from this. not mentioning danish cyclists Mad
