OT: Tokyo Olympics thread

[elocomotive]

The world games "almost" hit that.

Imagine some of the commentary from the JoeLympics...

"Well, we are now 5 miles in to the marathon. 7 nations have dropped out and only 6 nations have competitors that are actually still running or jogging. The rest are walking in a large pack at the moment."

"Jesus Ferrara of Mexico completes a double somersault to wind up his floor routine. The most spectacular move we've seen on the floor exercise today. That puts him into silver medal position going into the last event. He'd be the leader had he not smashed his head directly into the vault yesterday evening."

"Final score of this Group C round robin match ends - Germany 13, USA 0."

Sports is 100% mental. Balance, coordination and strength are all controlled by the brain.

Sportsmanship. Team first. Biles selflessly stepped aside knowing that she had some things to work out and gave the team the best chance for success by not dragging them down. If she can come back and get her head on straight despite the challenges and armchair critics, then more power to her.

No chance. If it was I'd be the best player on the Lakers instead of Lebronn James.

Damn I really got to you didn't I? Millennials like yourself are so weak

I like how you've built the foreshadowing into your own screen name. Pretty cool.

I don't want you to hurt your brain thinking too hard... so I'll just say this is "weak" and "millenial" and save you the time of a really original and snappy clapback.

No, you're just admitting you don't have the mental fortitude.

Yeah, I'm gonna say the guy couldn't properly learn the correct forms of the verb "have" is an unlikely candidate for having amazing mental fortitude.

Biles had gotta be pissed that no one gives a shit about her mental weakness

Montalban is a negative poster. Just ignore him.

No, I'm admitting I'm not 6 foot 8 and 250 lbs

Someone mentioned to me yesterday that it would be awesome if the Olympics were not tried out for, but people from each country were randomly selected for each event, flown to the venue, and just shoved right in to competition. Bunch of dad bods and people of all ages just figuring it out as they go. I said they should call it the JoeLympics.

I'd totally watch that.

Whether they like it or not?

Some 60 year old comes home and sees a package on his porch - opens it and discovers it's a foil. That's how he finds out he's an olympian.

I think there are parody accounts posting here. In say that because otherwise.......

 

[esls79]

The parody at these here Olympics is thru the roof. I mean there’s a couple of shoe in gold medalists but for the most part you never know who’s gonna win.
