guess i need to need find a country to root for

Not the USA?

hell no. i despise too many of the professional athletes to support Team US.

so I randomly pick a country and run with that.

That's sad. Lotsa amateurs and not-POS professionals on Team USA.

Like I said. Sad.

….and now Trans people prancing. WTF.

Watching the march in of nations' flags with the entrance of the Olympic flag quickly reminded me how unique and beautiful Old Glory is compared to all the others.

So Maggie Malone-Hardin is a professional? Selling merchandise to finance her Paris journey?

Decadence of the West.

I'm still pissed about there being no Olympic flame this year.

The cauldron in the hot air balloon is made of LED lights projected onto a mist of water, which creates the illusion of a flame. The hot air balloon is filled with hydrogen and lowered at 2am where it is tethered during the day. The goal was to provide a flame appearance while avoiding the use of fossil fuels. It's being routed as some amazing feat of technology when I can buy essentially the same damn thing at party city for Halloween. I understand they want to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels but this is ****ing dumb.

I feel like people are going to look back and think, "remember how ****ing weird the Paris Olympics were?"

Reporter tries on world's most advanced swimsuit; complains that it takes forever to put on.

Took my TV off the 4 way split for this Rugby final. Fiji is so fun to watch.

whomp whomp

Fun tournament. Can't believe Home team thumped them.

Tune in to beach volleyball today, and what the hey! No more itty bitty bikinis? I turned it off.

It's cold and rainy. Duh.

They need to stop running that AUS/USA rivalry spot with the Aussie girl making fun of the USA and their celebrations, etc. Every time it's shown, we subsequently lose the race to the Aussies.

I'm mostly happy. I would have been a bit more interested in beach volleyball with the teeny bikinis, but it didn't really impact my happiness. I turned it off and did something else. Sue me.

Water polo athletes are something. Wading and swimming all the time while getting dunked when they have the ball.

I don't know much about volleyball, but our girls look mighty talented.

Women's water polo is brutal. Knew a girl that played club at A&M and she said the nastiest scratching, pulling, ripping of swimsuits took place under water.

I feel like a lot of the complaints about the games so far can be chalked up to, "They're French". It's always going to be a little weird, out there, and not always make a lot of sense.

The French wear their weirdness as a badge of honor

Simone Biles is such an annoying person. She thinks she is a diva.
Always whining about this or that and always doing something to draw attention to herself.
