I've seen the speed one before but not that one, was brilliant to see, that's why all these sports should be here, not a chance I'd watch that under any other setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted August 9 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9 Paulino with a monster 400 meter. Only the 2 dopes Koch and Kratotchvilova, and Naser has done better times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Breaking is a bit weird isn't it? With zero knowledge of break dancing and out of pure ignorance watching the women not the men it's not as explosive or as "wow" as I hoped it would be Edit - my commentators keep bigging up these classic beats too and how they're in time with the music....I'm really not seeing that, commentators talking a lot too, it's non stop which I think is spoiling my enjoyment of it Edited August 9 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted August 9 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9 Unlucky KJT. Fantastic effort, couldn't really have been any closer to that gold, but I guess Thiam is just an all-time great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly cycling mountain bike and equestrian sports have the highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad those 2 got to the final as after what I did watch last night they were definitely the best, personally I preferred the style of nicka and thought she was more dynamic but after watching the final this morning on Eurosport (who didn't talk all over it at least) and hearing their commentator saying stuff like excellent understanding of the music and oh she's so brave going first etc etc maybe my ignorance of it all spoiled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as much as I wanted to see what it was all about and it wasn't that bad it's never an olympic sport in a million years The climbing, skateboarding, surfing, BMX, mountain biking etc I can all see an argument for, after last night I can't see one for this The next step in 2026 is to just have a full on Olympians got talent contest 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
