Australia is good eh caskur caskur?

I suppose theres an advantage for a country that has 12 months of summer during the year.

Most places in Canada summer only lasts 2 months of the year.

July and August

The Aussies are kicking butt.

Right now I'm watching thick girls play rugby.

Tonight I'll be watching our girl, Simone, in the women's gymnastic qualifiers.  I could have caught it live on the feeds, but I was watching more womens beach volleyball to check their asses, some fencing matches and canoe races.

Oh, and Democrats suck.

I hope Canada can at least win a few Gold

That'd be nice.

Canada isn't fairing very well. They need a lift...

I did like the little bikini bottoms the Aussie ladies were wearing for the beach volleyball.  There's something about young white women's ass cheeks flopping in the the wind that in most entertaining for old lechers like me.

Canada's best are getting old.

After this Olympics they should consider getting fresh blood.

Even Andre Agasse, their best runner, is almost 30.

Penny Oleksiak the great Canadian swimmer this is probably her last.

They cant stay on top forever so hopefully after this Olympics Canada rebuilds  again.

I wished I had my 21 year old body again. Don't we all?

Ahhh. Me too.

I'm watching Olympic men's surfing live from Tahiti. The stupid Frogs still have "colonies" in the distant South Pacific that no one else wanted so it's actually "France" for the purposes of the Olympics.

(Gee! I wonder why no Leftists are having protests about it.  Colonialism and all, right?)

The Aussie girl bombed out of the surfing. No success there. Aus has slipped to 4th on the medal tally but still ahead of the USA who incidentally have the most medal at 12. China is in 1st Place... then Japan and Sth Korea. A soon as the USA gets another Gold they'll hit the front. Italy is doing very well too.

Australia smashed Zambia coming back from 2 - 5 to ending Aus 6 - Zambia 5. That was a feat actually since Aus has a lot of injuries.

Jess Fox got Gold in Kayaking.... she really is a stunning looking woman. Her Argentinian mother won a bronze in another Olympics.

So much for me telling Herman I wasn't going to watch the olympics.... Here I am doing just that.

I just found out Jess Fox isn't half Argentinian, her mother who won a bronze in 1996 is FRENCH. Unless of course her dad is Argentinian... ugh... this is going to bug me now.


-----‐--------

I must admit I am slightly in awe of this lovely woman... she is half French,  a Jew and her father was also a medal winning Olympian.. talk about multi-national...lol here is her early life and athletic pedigree. From Wikipedia.


"Fox was born in Marseille, France, and later moved to Penrith, New South Wales. Fox is Jewish, as is her mother Myriam Jerusalmi; whereas her father is not Jewish.

Her parents are Richard Fox and Myriam Fox-Jerusalmi, who both competed as canoeists at the Olympics: her father for Great Britain at the 1992 Games, and her mother for France at the 1996 Games where she won a bronze medal. Her father is Second Vice President of the International Canoe Federation, as well as Australian Canoeing's high-performance manager, and a five-time world champion. Her younger sister Noemie Fox is also a world champion slalom canoeist, and her aunt Rachel Crosbee is a former world championship slalom canoe silver medalist.

Fox attended Blaxland High School, finished her HSC year by being first in New South Wales in the PDHPE in 2011, and had an ATAR score of 99.1. She studied in the Elite Athlete Program at The University of Sydney, where she is working on a degree in media/communications. She is studying for a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) at Swinburne Online. She is bilingual in English and French.

Fox suffered a back injury that impacted her performance in 2012."

I didn't realise the Russians were missing.

I am watching BMX BIKES...

I am so bored I could scream my guts out.


We get a few minutes of watching something athletic then fluff... fillers and ads. That is what spoils watching the Olympics.

This games people are complaining is an attack on Christianity AND a gay pride parade according to comments on sky news on youtube.

It has spoiled these games. The Olympic games should be free of politics and religion and focus on sport and the athletes ONLY, IMHO.

Cheats and the Olympic hierarchy should be ashamed of themselves.

Watch moment boxer Imane Khelif batters opponent - as two boxers are cleared to fight in Olympics as women despite being rejected from World Championships

By James Cohen14:17 30 Jul 2024, updated 18:46 30 Jul 2024

A row has erupted in Paris after it emerged that Imane Khelif, of Algeria, and Lin Yu-Ting, of Taiwan, were thrown out of the tournament last year amid questions over their biological sex.

But IOC bosses said both meet eligibility criteria and will box over the coming days. 

However, now, footage that on X showed Khelif dominating one of her previous opponents has gone viral, as fans reacted to the news of her inclusion in the Olympics.

A video showed Khelif landing heavy shots to the head of her Mexican opponent Brianda Tamara back in December 2022. 

The caption of the video told fans to 'note the force of the punching' displayed by Khelif, as she unloaded on her opponent in a flurry of punches. 

After the disqualification, Mexico's Tamara came forward with her own experience of fighting Khelif earlier in the tournament.

'When I fought with her I felt very out of my depth,' she wrote on X. 'Her blows hurt me a lot, I don't think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it's good that they finally realized.'

Both Khelif and Yu-Ting were disqualified from the Women's World Boxing Championships in March 2023 in New Delhi, after a series of DNA tests were ordered amid concerns over the sex of some of those taking part.

At the time Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association (IBA), claimed the tests had proven the athletes – including Khelif and Yu-Ting – had 'XY chromosomes'.

If that "woman" is a man then the Canadians cheat..

Same as any country doing the same thing.

Famous Gold medalist Dawn Fraser who runs the olympics is a lesbian so it stands to reason she is pro trans and IF that is the case then the Olympics is noting but a shit show.

Slovakia to boycott the Closing ceremonies for the 2024 Summer Olympics:

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/disgraceful-slovakias-deputy-premier-to-boycott-olympics-closing-ceremony-over-last-supper-parody/3288648

BELGRADE, Serbia

Slovakia's deputy prime minister said he will not participate in the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics over the controversial Last Supper parody during the opening of the games last week.

The organizers of the Olympics in Paris prepared the abomination for the world a performance full of LGBT ideology and an insult to the symbols of Christianity, Tomas Taraba said in a Facebook post on Sunday.

"I was supposed to represent Slovakia at the closing ceremony, but for the normal world, this Olympics will forever remain a symbol of degenerate decadence, which abused the beauty of sport and turned it into progressive political theater. Therefore, I decided not to participate in the closing ceremony," he added.

The performance on Friday, led by drag queens and dancers, drew significant backlash from the Christian world, who said it was disrespectful to religious beliefs. Organizers have apologized for the performance.

In a separate post on X, Taraba said: "The International Olympic Committee is deleting the disgraceful opening ceremony from the Internet. The insults to Christianity and the presented decadence have reached such a level that they have offended the whole normal world, which understands the difference between culture and garbage."

Why is France bending over backwards to appease the woke and LGTBQ brigade? 

And about time ... the skimpy thong type bikini bottoms the beach volleyball players used to wear have been replaced with leggings.  After all, they're there to perform as athletes - not to titillate the voyeurs!"

Oh no, Chinese at top and Australia is second on the leaders board.

It's quite surprising because covid is rife within the Olympians villiage and affecting some sports people significantly.

I've done a thorough livestock evaluation of all the women's beach volleyball teams.  The Gold Medal for the best asses should go to the Italian team, even though they don't seem to win very many volleyball matches.

Queen Mary has sent Australia into a tizz with a touching move for our newest champions at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Tasmanian-born Queen of Denmark showed her support for the relay swimmers after they snatched up a gold medal.

Mollie O'Callaghan, Ariarne Titmus, Lani Pallister and Brianna Throssell won the 4x200m freestyle relay race.

Queen Mary delivered a "royal hug" after the win and even opted to take selfies with the winners.

"A gold medal in Paris and a royal hug. Does it get any better!" Karl Stefanovic said on the Today show on Friday morning.

Both Queen Mary and Titmus were born in Tasmania.

"And at the end of the day, it's two Tasmanians. Look at her taking photos on her phone, I love this, this is such a special moment," Sarah Abo added.

Queen Mary has been doing the rounds at the Olympics, having paid a visit to the Australian Olympic team before the opening ceremony.

The Australian team shared the special moment on Instagram.

"Royalty in the Village! Australian-born Queen Mary of Denmark joined athlete in the Olympic Village," the post read.

She also stopped by for a chat with retired Olympic track cyclist Anna Meares.

"Once an Aussie always an Aussie ... and the Danish Queen," Meares wrote on Instagram.

"Great to see Queen Mary in the food court for lunch today.

"I was a bit nervous but she wished our athletes well and I did invite her to our allotment for an Aussie coffee."

The royal met King Frederick during the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

The first official royal portraits of the pair were released in April.

Margrethe II previously announced her abdication on New Year's Eve 2023, with Queen Mary and King Frederik officially succeeding to the throne on January 14 this year.

French Pole Vaulter fails to Medal After His Genitals Knock the Bar Over


You don't see this happen to pole vaulters very often, and that's a good thing for their reproductive prospects.

French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati appeared on his way to every impressive vault when his genitals got caught on the crossbar and prevented him from clearing it.

After four attempts on the pole vault, Ammirati finished with a combined score of 5.60 and in 12th position, meaning he did not qualify for the next round of the competition and the chance to compete for a medal.

Well, it's probably not how he intended, but Ammirati has made his mark on the sport.

Well, I'm sure it has nothing to do with that good Anglo-Saxon stock, Cas, that would be racist. 

Though, I am wondering why you Aussies don't have any Abos competing in the running races?  Abos must not be as fast as African stock folks.

Of course, that's racist as fuck to say too, so to put that to bed, genetics has less to do with how fast someone can run that does heart as shown in the video below.  Biggie Smiles might like this one.  Watch it til the end, bigs.  Watch this slip of a girl come out of nowhere to win a race.  This is why I watch the Olympic.

McIntosh started in the Olympics when she was only 14. So if shes only 17, she could be good for 2 or even 3 more Olympics given that some of those other women are almost 30 years old.

Well unless you dangle a carton of beer in front of them they don't do much running. I think there was an aborigine in the men's basket ball team.

It takes dedication to be an Olympian and I am afraid abos are too spoiled to do anything that takes dedication. We used to have abos take up boxing.. have you heard Lional Rose? He became a singer as well as a champion boxer..

I was so happy Ukraine won the high jumps and we got Silver and Bronze..   it was good. I also think Ukraine got a Bronze too, so the podium was shared.

Anyway I think the games are a bit boring. BUT finally the USA HAS hit 1st Place.

Olympic gold medallist Thomas Ceccon spotted sleeping in park after ripping Olympic Village conditions

Olympic gold medallist Thomas Ceccon has been spotted sleeping in a park after complaining about the conditions in the Olympic Village.

Ethan Sears – New York Post

August 5, 2024 - 10:36AM

Sleeping on the ground isn't ideal, but it's better than a cardboard bed.

That, at least, appeared to be the logic of Olympic gold medallist Thomas Ceccon, who was spotted sleeping in a park inside the Olympic Village, the New York Post reports.

Saudi rower Husein Alireza posted a photo of Ceccon fast asleep on a white towel under a tree on Saturday, tagging the location as inside the Olympic Village.

The Italian swimmer, who won gold in the 100m backstroke, had already complained publicly about the accommodations in the Olympic Village, which have been panned throughout the Paris Games, after failing to reach the 200-meter backstroke final on Wednesday.

"There is no airconditioning in the village, it's hot, the food is bad," Ceccon said, per The Sun.

"Many athletes move for this reason: it's not an alibi or an excuse, it's the reality of what perhaps not everybody knows.

"I'm disappointed that I didn't make the final, but I was too tired. It's hard to sleep both at night and in the afternoon. Here, I really struggle between the heat and the noise."

The Italian team declined additional comment to The Sun.

Olympic Games organisers have come under criticism over the large quantity of vegan food being served at the athletes' village in Paris. News Corp Columnist Angela Mollard joined Sky News host Gabriella Power to discuss the fury over the Olympic Village conditions. "About 60 per cent of the menu at the athlete's village is apparently vegan. Now that's fine if you're having a convention of astrologers and palm readers, but this is the Olympics," Ms Mollard said. "They need a hunk of steak."

The Italian team declined additional comment to The Sun.

The IOC has come under fire for a lack of airconditioning and cardboard "anti-sex" beds in the Olympic village — measures intended to help the environment — along with poor food.

"There are not enough of certain foods: eggs, chicken, certain carbohydrates," Andy Anson, the chief of the British Olympic Association, told The Times of London. "And then there is the quality of the food, with raw meat being served to athletes."

A number of athletes, including the entire U.S. women's tennis team (with the exception of Coco Gauff) left the village for alternate lodging as a result.

The recyclable beds have become a punchline since their introduction in 2020 because they are only meant to support one person, leading to jokes that they are sex-proof.

Matilda Kearns, of the Australian water polo team, posted that she "already had a massage to undo the damage" from the cardboard mattress.

Perhaps she should try sleeping on the ground for a more restful eight hours.

Our Shane Gould won 5 medals in swimming when she was 15..

3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze... I think she is the world's best ever female swimmer... the American guy from around that era was the best male olympian... he won 5 or more medals too.

They are all very close... mere parts of seconds away from each other's times. They all deserve respect unless they cheat like the East Germans used to and robbed some of our girls Gold. Lisa Curry Kennedy was one swimmer, Raylene Boyle in running was robbed of Gold too.

Sorry if I am getting the spelling of the names wrong, I can't be bothered looking them up.

See, Shane Gould was a Western Australia girl and Wiki doesn't even mention that because she lives in New South Wales now but she went all religious, married really young and went to a farm and quit swimming.... then she came back around 40 and competed... too late... goodness knows the heights she would have reached in her 20s...

Anyway a couple of years ago during covid I think she went on Australian Survivor and won. The oldest contestant to ever win Survivor. The young people didn't even know who she was and how famous she was well they know now.

The other very famous Western Australian is Margaret Court... even Serina Williams didn't crack her tennis record. Margaret Court is a Paster(sp?) Has her own church... and because she spoke out about homosexual marriage, woke Australia want her stadium renamed. She has a tennis stadium named after her.

There is going to be a fight for 3rd placing on the medal tally ladder...lol

I watched the 75 kgm womens boxing between China and Australia...

aussie won first round

Chinese girl won 2nd round and made the Aussie girls nose bleed

in the last round I thought the Aussie smashed it but nope, they gave the 3rd round to China and I disagree. I would like to know why  the Chinese won it because it wasn't obvious to me.


The USA are back on top of the ladder.

Our medic team  were armed with anti biotics and anti-virals and yes covid was rampant through the village, probably spread by food preparers...they didn't say that, I am saying that. A little annoying bug that has ruined dreams.

I am running out of gigs so I am using the smart TV which doesn't copy and paste. Oz is 3rd at 18 gold and there is no way we can catch China or America both at 33 gold apiece. Now Australia has to hold on to 3rd place because the Brits and France are just behind us waiting to overtake.

Actually I think a good chunk of these athletes around the world train 365 days of the year, many at US universities in the US sunbelt on athletic scholarships, including Canadians.

Is not like the good old days when they trained exclusively at home in their own countries.

NZ have always punched above their weight. They like to tell Aussies they win more medals per capita.


Yeah something is going on in Canada... maybe the young people are really struggling with poverty under Trudeau.

Something is wrong for sure... or maybe it was covid..

One of our Gold medal girls father kept her away from being anywhere near other sportmen and women making sure she didn't catch anything. It paid off...

Who knows... it's all good.

The East Germans and Russians are/were drug cheats anyway back in the day.


Apart from the River Seine being full of human faeces Paris is a STUNNING city. I saw much of it by drone watching the marathons.

Beautiful place...

Well LA next time.. that should be good.

I am writing in a very disjointed way because I am trying to save gigs until I get my gigs reset on the 14th.

Sorry about that jumping from one subject to the next.

Canada actually did better than it usually does caskur caskur.

It's best runner Andre de Grasse finally broke thru and gotta gold in the 4x100.

I suspect it's his last Olympics tho. He won 7 medals in his career inc 3 gold.

He should just quit after thos and go out in a blaze of glory.

Buy low. Sell high.

Not just the business world

This applies to sport as well.

Sorry about that jumping from one subject to the next.

Actually caskur caskur one story that was quite relevant in the games that ordinary people can learn from was the incidence of COVID at the Olympics.

An No...Covid sure as hell aint the common cold.

It actually ended up costing the USA at least 2 gold medals because their ace sprinter, Noah Lyles came down with COVID.

(https://media.wired.com/photos/66b6681473e60a5289d6dfaa/master/w_1600,c_limit/Noah-Lyles-Covid-Sci--2165513946.jpg)

Had he not done so, Lyles might have won the 200m race, but he didn't cuz he was actually sick when he won the bronze.

The 2nd event was the 4x100 m relay. And since Lyles was absent, the USA lost that race too at Canada's gain. But Canada might not have won that race had Lyles been in it.

2 Gold meals is a pretty big deal. That's the total gold medal haul for many nations competing in the Olympics.

So to dismiss COVID as a minor health issue, the deniers ought to think twice before making statements like this.

COVID actually hits the pocketbook and as the Lyles incident shows can cost a country its national prestige.

QuoteCovid cases have spiked every summer since 2020, and this season is no exception. A Covid wave is once again sweeping through much of the world and has reached the 2024 Paris Olympics.

But the Games have gone on without interruption, despite at least 40 athletes testing positive for the virus, according to the World Health Organization. One of those, US track star Noah Lyles, ran the men's 200-meter race on August 8 despite getting a positive result on a Covid test just two days before. After earning a bronze medal in the race, he received medical attention and was taken off the track in a wheelchair. Lyles, who also has a history of asthma, said he was short of breath and experienced chest pain after the race and that Covid "definitely" affected his performance.

...anyways I often notice how these deniers often put you down and dismiss your warnings about COVID as 'scare tactics'.

Quote from: JOE on August 13, 2024, 10:52:52 PMActually caskur caskur one story that was quite relevant in the games that ordinary people can learn from was the incidence of COVID at the Olympics.

An No...Covid sure as hell aint the common cold.

It actually ended up costing the USA at least 2 gold medals because their ace sprinter, Noah Lyles came down with COVID.

Had he not done so, Lyles might have won the 200m race, but he didn't cuz he was actually sick when he won the bronze.

The 2nd event was the 4x100 m relay. And since Lyles was absent, the USA lost that race too at Canada's gain. But Canada might not have won that race had Lyles been in it.

I am not too worried about put downs when I know I am right... I get more angry with myself when I get things wrong.

The elderly lady across the road, a retired science teacher of botany had her daughter and 2 granddaughters over from San Francsico and they came with covid and were quite sick for the first couple of weeks... well my neighbour who has had at least 5 covid shots didn't catch it even though she was nursing 3 sick people... so at least in her situation the vax was successful.... I remain in shock and awe of her constitution.
