So the FPS shooter crowd of Gen Z finally grew up and brought the Bunny Hop to the sport of Fencing.

Just wow.

I will be offline most of the day, so I hope you guys can keep the threadcast alive.

Well, and anybody else :))

Sorry for the delay, I've been a little confused the last few days.

Starting tomorrow I will leave your threadcast with more activities.

It's fine, I don't follow the Olympics much myself either - far less than I had thought.

The important thing is for us to continue bringing activities to the platform.

In the next few days I will be more active and help increase news for your Olympics threadcast.

We will do out best to keep things going. Your absence will be felt.

Right now watching Hungarian tennis player Fucsovics vs Rafael Nadal of Spain. This should be a clear win for Nadal but of course I am rooting for the Hungarian player!

If I watched it, I'd obviously rooted for the Spaniard :))

Nadal leading with a break point already and now in lead 0:3

Maybe if they did the events nude, ratings would go up.

That would be NiftOlympics.

Increases the chances that he tunes in.

Or that he dives in ;)

i still can't believe that the torch was carried by snoop.

If left alone, he may use the flames to light some #weed. 🤣🤣

I guess he actually thought he carried a huuuuge joint :)

Lol😂
That's enough motivation to keep him going

Here's the schedule for today; several competitions have already started: https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule/28-july

The Olympics will pass and most will not really care. A lot more stuff going oin in the world.

All events are covered by HBO Max, you need a paid subscription for that: https://www.max.com/

I wonder how much they paid to get the Olympics. I will have to look that up.

They're not the only ones, it wouldn't be that much.

Free HQ streams with no strings attached are here: https://sport.ceskatelevize.cz/

The only thing you need is a Czech IP address - most VPNs work well.

The world of technology is amazing.

Here are free German streams available: https://strims.gg/daserste

Here's a recap of yesterday events: https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/live-updates

A helpful thread for those interested. It shows how we can get info out to people.

Just a spectator

Well, I did not expect the athletes to thread here :)

sorry busy doing other stuff today. Will continue tomorrow with you guys

No worries :) me too

That sucks. We will miss you.

Anything interesting on the plate for today's events?

I'm sorry, I was offline, couldn't answer. And I didn't even follow the news.

That is okay. It happens. LOL

Well, people generally only follow a couple of their best-known compatriots, the Olympics is quite overwhelming otherwise - hundreds of competitions and races in like two weeks.

Are the Russians there or did they boycott (or get banned)?

They got banned, just a few of them can compete as individualities, not representing their country.

Ah okay. Typical. The geopolitics these days is outrageous.

Either that, or somebody simply assumed that a shooting competition with both Ukranian and Russian athletes could get a bit tricky ;)

And there are other dangerous sports, like javelin.

Maybe it is my bubble but I see few people online, in general, talking about the actual events.

Do you like fencing? I imagine a very small audience.

Not me particularly, but I'm guessing Solymi does
