Olympics!!!

Definitely looking forward to it and the Olympic trails coming up for marathon and beyond.

Looking forward to the Olympics!!!

Big moment for all the athletes and world

Take care all. 

Interesting . 

I absolutely love the Olympics...nothing more prestigious then these athletes competing for the glory of their country and competition....

Fantastic!!!

I've always been a huge fan of the Olympics.  I remember as a kid sitting on the edge of my seat rooting for the U.S to win, even in events I had no interest in like swimming, any long distance running, diving, speed walking, judo, or later---- (the worst IMO)---- Mens' beach volleyball.. AKA "Top Gun"

I seriously do still get pumped up for the Track & Field events.  Fastest man on the planet race!!!   gimmie a break you have to watch that.

My oldest friend and I have an open bet between us since 1988, I would love input from anyone that was alive then.

Ben Johnson vs Carl Lewis  100m,,,  who wins the Gold Medal 1988 Oly......     I won't say who had who.

The interest on this $100 bet is around 30 years old

absolutely not    

half the sports in it shouldn't be there at all I think 

Break dancing  skateboarding, golf     other sports like soccer  have no place there either (even though I'm a big soccer fan just doesn't belong imo )

should be just track and field swimming, gym etc not mainstream sports 

next they'll be pushing for rugby league, American football, Aussie rules  and formula 1

even I kind of am looking forward to some elements  Paris should be a good host 

Flag football will be in the 2028 games,,,along with checkers, team tag, and the ketchup cleanup challenge 

I always love watching Olympics, especially the track & field events.

@ABooksNightmare

 Good stuff 

@iceman67

 Nice! Yes those were great times in the Olympics! Track and field is always worth watching 

@I-Got-5-On-It

 Definitely some interesting events but the discipline and focus it takes to compete is both physically and mentally challenging. Interesting to see all the new events for sure 

@packersbackers

 Not sure where they get clearance on some of these but interesting day and age we live in. Corn hole competitions for big money and interesting all the new events for sure. 

@FanAmp

 Running is really hard and those that have run or competed definitely have a solid understanding of the difficulty and how rare it is to compete at this highest level. Not saying you ran track but those are some very enjoyable events. 

Basketball, swimming, track and field, distance running, etc etc….you either compete at the highest level or you wish you had the opportunity.

Take care all. 

Coming in 2032

Marathon trials on right now….

Running is so brutal and the men are literally like 6-7 minutes behind the world.

Mantz and Young men from Utah.

Fiona Okeefe from Sacramento Sisson second and Lindwurm 3rd 

Oh wow the world record holder for the marathon died in a crash at the age of 24!!!! Sad!

@docpj72

 Great stuff

100 DAYS!!!

The Olympic trials have been Excellent!!!

@Fuse

 I just posted a thread in the Olympics forum, asking if anyone really bets on the Olympics.  I do love watching the games - it was always a big deal in my house growing up.  Haven't been able to watch as much these last few times around (just life in general gets in the way), but hoping to be able to catch some events this year! 

Housing in the Olympic Village does not have air conditioning. So the USA Team is bringing their own portable units.

By American standards, Paris is air conditioning free.

Hot n humid in Paris...like Atlanta only temps won't reach over low 90's but the humidity well getcha

Atlanta just hot, humid, sticky nasty weather in the summer...no thanks...give me AC
