Yes, i do think it's weird that Breakdancing will be an Olympic "Sport". But I'll definitely watch some of it.

Yep, we're spoiled over here.

Kinda hard to believe that I spent my first two year at State in dorms with no A.C. (of course, that wasn't during Summer Break)

It's kinda disappointing how little info the commentators are giving, had to google the metal band (Gojira) and opera song (carmen - habanera)

French performance art is always something to behold.

Was that library scene about performing an effiel tower maneuver?

That metal sequence was batshit amazing.

NBC was doing everything they could to keep a wide shot and not show all the beheaded Maries in the windows.

Also, I'm pretty over Peyton Manning in general. I used to think he was kinda funny, but I guess time passed.

Took me so long to figure out If the silver horse had a real rider. Took way way longer for the silver horse to finish its trip.

[Edited on July 26, 2024 at 7:05 PM. Reason : My God the whole flag thing is basically dead air except for the clips they interspersed, so boring ]

I don't think the rider on the robot horse was real. The real horse had a real rider. I was pissed that they made a big deal about the flag delivery and then it wasn't even the flag from dr doom on the robot horse. It was just a flat some random dude gave to the rider after he got off the horse!!!

Also Kelly Clarkson was absolutely awful at her job. Unless her job was to just exclaim OH MY GOD THAT WAS INCREDIBLE, THIS IS SO COOL randomly throughout the broadcast. In that case, excellent work - no notes

I thought robot rider was real, I kept seeing hand movements. Wouldn't bet a ton of money on it though.

Apparently it's not just the women's team. Jesse Marsch could be on the hot seat next.

Quote :
"Coaching staff and contractors working with Canada’s men’s and women’s national soccer teams have been engaged for years in efforts to film the closed-door training sessions of their opponents, including during the women’s gold-medal winning Olympic tournament in 2021, two sources with first-hand knowledge of the activity told TSN."

Gojira was (is) amazing. That whole sequence was fantastic. Huge moment for Heavy Metal. I knew they were going to perform but had no idea how epic that scene was going to be.

Celine Dion was great too. I haven't watched the rest of it. Need to find a condense version because 4-5 hours is crazy.

I don't understand fencing but there was drama in the men's gold medal match. Italia coach was big mad at the refs. I have no idea who is right lol.
