2020, uh, 21, uh, who knows Tokyo Olympics thread

Not hard when the government ensures the ceremony has a budget of $Texas.

 

Nah, it's still the archer lighting the flame at Barcelona.

 

Your first Olympic champion of Tokyo 2021 is Yang Qian of China, who won the women's air rifle. Shooter from the Artists Formerly Known as Russia had the lead going into the last round and blew her last shot (which is to say she missed by like 3 mm). Swiss get the bronze, best US finisher was sixth.

 

Anyone shoot their eye out?

 

Obligatory "Bad Czech bounced" post. And we resume regular programming.

 

Did they not read the tweets about Gal Gadot?

 

Poor loser has to wear the pink bunny suit.

 

I think this happened at the women's soccer venue. And to complete the thought, what the fuck???????

 

Ok, here's my first Olympic thought/feeling (I'll add I am probably more pro-Games in general than most folks). Sports events without spectators suck. I'm used to it, because of 2020, but I still hate it. Kind of a metaphor for the entire world vs. covid situation. Enough improvement so that we can try to do things, but we can't do them normally yet.

 

On the other hand, morning sports totally rock.

 

Says the retiree.
