I see the germans are doing well in horse boxing Wink but seriously I think the random and unknown horses idea should be carried over to some other sports...for example competing cyclists could be confronted with a random assortment of every-day bikes or sailors given various sea craft they've never practiced on.


How about the random engine build?

Give each team a box of Gex parts and you have to build an engine and drive 26 miles in it. Wait, let’s make that 100 meters


I'm in.
Like they say, "it's not the parts, It's the mechanic "


I’d do it here. Give me the parts😀

I’m still pissed that Simone ruined Dan and Neenas Bus....


Congrats to CANADA for winning the women’s soccer gold. You played like a team and it won the gold medal. The US team played like 11 great players. They were lucky to medal at all.

Yes I had to look way down the list for 11 th place Canada with 7 gold medals. In contrast the U.S. took home 39 and placed 1st. Anything that gets people up off the couch is to be commended. Thinking about winter games even though it’s hot outside😀

Hmm I was wondering why all those pop-up anti-wokeist pundits on YT suddenly shifted their talk from US Olympic failure to He-Man Revelations

I’m proud of our Athletes and our Country but if you count medals by country you miss the whole point of the Olympics.

Really.

I get what you are saying but medal counting is fun for me. I look at a countries population and region to determine who had the most successful medal count.

USA- population of 333 million, 113 medals vs China population 1.44 billion, 88 medals. Both countries have access to the same type of facilities, landscape, and genetics across the country that favor a certain sport. USA dominated China. The USA women’s teams medal count alone would have been 4th place among all countries.

However you take a country like Japan 126 million people with 58 medals. That’s a win over USA and China.

Australia a country of 26 million people won 46 medals and dominated. Well done Australia Applause

Australia- 1.77 medals per 1 million population
USA- 0.0000339 medals per million population
China- not very good at all.

I do love the Olympics. It’s amazing to watch athletes in a niche sport do what they do. Wish I could’ve had watched some this year.

This British boy band says it best Laughing

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


And stop it. Just because the USA chant is annoying to me. I do appreciate the enthusiasm Wink

Looking forward to the 2022 Beijing winter games and Norway, a country of 5 million people winning the medal count Laughing tip of the hat to Canada and Austria.

Love team USA. But in Olympic competition, we may need to up our game.

I just might chant USA USA if we come close medaling in the Biathlon. A sport the US has never won an Olympic medal. Wink

It’s not your hands you worry about.

Best headline

( picture if Cuomo)

“He’s at the end if his Grope”


Back OT

I think Bermuda might win the medal race with a gold for a population of 65k

Let’s see, we would have to win 600 Golds to match that.

Simpleton math…..we won the most Olympic medals …we are awesome we are huge and have a lot of disposable income for pro athletes to play Olympique

Congrats to everyone who worked hard to get to Tokyo , do their best, represent their country, and won medals! Even Canada!
