Summer Olympics....Your Observations

[Revoltingest]

Yes, I saw it live.
You see how many medals India wins this time and over the last 10 Olympics and consider the population..you will see what I saying.
Compare it to how Indians (both citizens and expats) fare at Math/Science Olympiads, spelling bee, chess etc.....

Enjoy what you have, not what you wish for.

How's that for a platitude!

Your opinion is noted. Synchronised divine is over in seconds. Synchronized swimming lasts eons

That's what the <off> button on the TV is for.

Why? Perfect synchronization of complex dance and swimming pattern in a pool is hard as balls. The same is true for acrobatic pattern mid-air.

You enjoy synchronized diving?
What else should be synchronized?

Any acrobatic and artistic discipline could be made synchronized for extra difficulty and its the case for many already.

The rugby sevens have been awesome, Argentina's win over SA was the highlight so far. Bermuda winning the Women's Triathlon was great for such a small nation, bet they are still partying.

Could be.
Should be?
No!

No!

Should be? I don't know; I don't care. Why not? Cuz you don't like it? So what? Others might.

I speak for the masses.

2 observations....
- Everyone from The Netherlands is named Ned.
- Women are costumed very differently from men,
who have much more comfortable uniforms.

Spoiler: Skimpy beach volleyball garb

These are the women....

And these are men....

I have fallen in love with Jasmin Joyce, just needed to get that off my chest.
