Might just be me but I find it really boring…always have done…hated field sports at school, just wanted to play footy every week.
Anyone know what the rules are regarding trans athletes

Totally agree 100%. I have no time for cricket or rugby either but did eventually take up golf after saying for a lifetime it was another boring sport.

I've never much cared for showjumping. Just thought I'd put it out there. Seems to be the done thing

Bores me shitless, With regard to the (cant make me fooking mind up what i want to be) They need a fucking good slap.
Total waste of a LIFE.

I hear this year it has topless volleyball with the Brazilians and Swedes being favourite.

Interested

Trouble is they’re blokes.

Liked the rivalry between Coe n Ovett back in the 80s.
And Daley Thompsons big Gs.
After that the Athletics part of the Olympics seemed to fade away.

do not mind watching the running but its the hanging about between the races as it feels a long drawn out process which makes it boring. bit like dog racing and more so horse racing if you are not a betting man. just up date it a bit and have a catogary for shoplifting and knife fighting plus how many you can get in a dinghy to do a certain distance on a river or sea.

would not put my small change on that now.

I'm off to Paris on Tuesday. Have got a few events booked including the Beach Volleyball.
Switzerland vs Paraguay,
Spain vs Germany.

As I paid.. Women's matches.

Other random events - Hockey (China vs France - lesser of 2 evils to win that). Water Polo (Cos you had to choose 1 really crap event),
Basketball and 2 visits to the Athletics stadium (nosebleed seats for the 100m Final - finished in under 10 seconds!)

Hopefully no security incidents - either terrorist or Champions League final style.

THE Biggest Yawn On Earth (after the US presidential elections of course).

Good for you if that's how you like to spend your money. Watched a bit of the Rugby 7s online today.

Tarnished by the Few.

going live to a horse racing events beats both. still scarred from being dragged to redcar races as a kid.

So the train system has been vandalised, and who's idea was it to have an opening ceremony on the River Seine?, the safety and security cost alone must be staggering. Why have an opening ceremony at all?, what does it achieve?, shows how big the US team is compared to that of the Pitcairn Islands ....just get on with the action.

these ceremony,s seem to get bigger and bigger as each games take place and its getting like some hollywood block buster where money means nothing and has little if nothing to do with the games itself. its just modern society having to go OTT on everything now.

They keep telling us it’s the greatest show on earth….

it will be when the syncronised swimming gets going and the dressage. just waiting for the day sleeping becomes an olympic sport and what hype they can put on that. at least i might get a chance of going for gold in that.

Synchronized Shoplifting is in the 2028 games.

How can the opening ceremony be tonight but the rugby 7s are already playing Quarter Finals and the Football is already being abandoned due to crowd trouble (that'll again be England fans no doubt even with no GB entrants)?

in scouse land they,ve been competing in that since shops were invented plus wife beating and bragging. three events they,d win all the medals for.

Because the BBC doesn’t have the broadcasting rights they lost control of the rights to the Olympics after they were sold to US broadcasting giant Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) for £920 million in 2015, you can’t listen to local BBC radio like Tees.
The games finish on Sunday the 11th meaning there could be problems trying to listen to Yeovil game the day before.
