The only Olympics I have watched was passing by flipping thru the channels...............

[MercyFlush]

The Olympics are on?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Have not watched a second of it and don’t plan to watch.

... Australia, and the U.K. announced diplomatic boycotts of the Beijing Olympics, citing human rights violations, in reference to the Chinese Communist Party's abuse of a million Uyghurs, who have been placed in internment camps.

Odd how the Australians have no problem with putting people in covid quarantine camps. Oh sure, it's only "temporary" so that makes it alright...

According to a Morning Consult poll of 2,000 American adults, 65% cited a lack of interest in the events, 57% said no interest in athletes, and 40% said it was because China was hosting.

What percent is "all of the above?"

Proud to avoid watching.

The olympics became a joke when they allowed pro athletes from the NBA and NHL.

[Veto!]

I only watch figure skating. Russian woman last night was amazing, first woman ever to do quads, and she landed three perfectly. Took a tumble on the 4th but won by substantial margin anyway.

Our wonderful Nathan Chen is on tonight. He bleeped up at the last Olympics, so has probably his last chance for a medal tonight. He’s won everything else for many many years, practices every day, carries a full load at Harvard with straight A’s. What’s not to like?

In a possible pointed snub from a world leader, Putin appeared to doze off when the Ukrainian athletes entered the stadium during the opening ceremony.

Putin - controls America's elections. Has American President as his agent. Organizes tens of thousands of truckers in Canada. Prepares invasion of Ukraine without troops even leaving their bases. Controls the climate of Europe. Makes the earth move, not himself, when doing push-ups.

And now. Snubs.the.Ukraine.Olympic.Team.

Is there anything he can't do?

Bach could think of nothing better than a silly quote from a Beatle’s song to articulate his main theme.

[Don Corleone]

An international snooze fest.

The Chicooms might own Xiden and all the DemonRATs but they still don’t own the souls of American People.

Everybody’s talking about

flagellation, regulation, integration,
meditation, united nations, congratulations...

China is cheating.

They are not allowing those from other countries to practice much before the events. So when they compete, they’re not very familiar with the specific venue (hill, path, etc.).

[eeriegeno]

That’s the ticket! Celebrate at the country which is responsible for 9 million deaths!

[Carriage Hill]

No. One. Cares.

[cherry]

we rarely watch regular tv channels and our tv time is limited to just evenings, usually off channels or movies....

no news...

I love sports but won't follow too many ....

lets face it, despite the covid, the leftists, the wokes, the gays, and the trannys, the Olympics just don't hold interest anymore....

I guess the final straw for me was the trannys.....

[stevio]

They’re so flat. No one in the audience. Performers don’t seem into it. At least from what I saw.

[BiglyCommentary]

SUM TING WRONG. WEI SCRU UP, LOSE FACE BIG.

"..observe your commitment to this Olympic truth. Give peace a chance," International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said.."

ioc president thomas bach is either naive, greedy or beholden to the ccp.

Imo, the last two possibilities are the most likely.

I watch but only for the hockey and biathlon. I’d very much like to see Team USA win any medal in biathlon. it’s the only winter sport that we’ve never medaled in.

Snowcross is cool too - but I don’t care much for the rest of it.

[PIF]

China’s Olympics flop? Viewership down, fallen skater booed, and Putin ‘dozes’, Athletes starved
