There is basketball and 3x3 basketball, judo and taekwondo, beach volleyball and volleyball. So rugby league 9s won't have an issue. LA wanted flag football so and got it so if Brisbane wants it they will gets rugby league. I hope NRL allows players to participate have great exposure and could bring eyeballs and funding to the sport.What is the point of having rugby 7s and league 9s?
Cricket makes sense, it has become a truly global sport with T20 even though I don’t personally love that format.
Skateboarding and bmx have really added something to the Olympics, I’m all for them being included. Break dancing does not, it’s boring, particularly the way the Olympic version is set up.
I thought it was interesting a comment made by a legendary African-American break dancer. He said, if I have a PhD in sprinting, doesn’t mean that qualified me to run the Olympics against Noah Lyles.
This breakdancing performance should not be defended, she’s essentially insulted an entire sport and hip hop culture.
As the same guy said, people were already questioning this activity being in the Olympics, she’s given all these people a nail to put in its coffin.
He finished by saying she’s going to make a lot of money from this, she’s the most viral video from the Olympics, she’s also made the entire sport regress because now it looks completely amateurish.
Jokic 3 time mvp. France will be scary in LA.In fairness, international basketball is getting stronger and stronger. I think it should be an Olympic sport, it is becoming a huge drawcard. The US put out their strongest team possible and still got pushed the whole way.
France is coming, as is Australia. Like I know it won't happen but imagine throwing a committed Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons into that line up. The European sides are getting stronger and so is Canada. In fact, you look at the MVP contenders this year in the NBA, the only US player was Tatum. Unfortunately they naturalised Embiid but he too could have been playing for France or Cameroon.
The biggest NBA players right now include double MVP Jokic (serbia), SGA (Canada), Doncic (Slovenia), Giannia (Greece). The biggest up and comer is French - Wembanyama. Germany has some big name players everywhere.
Then you have a bunch of international all stars in Sengun (Turkey), Sabonis (Lithuania), Gobert (France), Horford (Dominican Republic), Simmons and Irving (Australia), Markkanen (Finland) and more.
Yea **** this guy

Olympic rapist breaks silence & shamelessly weeps after being booed at games
A BEACH volleyball player jailed for raping a Brit girl has broken his silence and shamelessly wept after being booed at the Olympics. Steven Van de Velde flew from his native Netherlands…www.thesun.co.uk
These Paris games were incredible, best since Sydney, IMO. Even with the rain destroyed opening ceremony. Commentators rave about London, but I was there (went to the swimming, gymnastics, and some random other things) and it was shit TBH. Just a never ending sea of posh angry Poms complaining about the crowds, noise, flags from other countries, and everything in between - audibly.Gotta say the Olympics is soo much better with crowds.
Tokyo was good, but the lack of atmosphere really did affect it. But this time around the atmosphere at the events was so much better.
The France vs USA basketball gold medal matches, especially the women's one was good watching.
I do worry about the kind of atmosphere Brisbane can deliver on the back of Paris and then LA.
So this was the final that decided who went to the Olympics.
Maybe I know **** all about break dancing but I thought Molly was a lot better than her.

The judges can say whatever they want, they clearly screwed up.
The rumours about her husband being a selector is not true. He’s not even a big name in the scene so there’s no way he had any big say with her selection. All the judges were international breakers that picked ray gun unanimouslyI doubt they screwed up. It's probably just more nepotism.
I hope she doesn't cop an ounce of Aussie Olympic hero. She should front up and tell us just wtf was going on here.
