Tokyo Olympics

Galloping fair enough, it's the horse dancing that many have a problem with. That gold medal is just as good as the 100m sprint? Sure.

 

[yyaldrin]

ah yes that's the one i meant actually, horse dancing.

 

[IdleRich]

All these different types of obscure sailing...
Swimming pisses me off, you should do the fastest stroke, all those other ones are the equivalent of hundred metres hopping race or running backwards or egg and spoon or something. Triple jump? How is that a sport etc etc
I say this every 4 years... stupid Olympics.

[yyaldrin]

they get sexually abused all through their youth by their coaches they sacrifice all social life and normal development to the 'pursuit of excellence'
they cant eat cheezburgers or drink beer they are hounded by the press and made pariahs if they underperform they suffer from severe depression and loss of purpose once they retire (often before 30) prone to injury and cardiac arrest. thick as fuck cos thyve never had a chance to read a book.

If you dedicated all your resources to horse dancing then surely you could reach olympic level in a few weeks? How hard can it be? How much competition is there? Gotta be the best way to become an Olympian.

Read once that (pre-COVID, of course), the Olympic village would sometimes turn into a sex romp, all these horny fit athletes from around the world holed up together for 2+ weeks, banging like bunnies. Especially the ones who were eliminated at the beginning, nothing else to do for 10 days than forget about training, party hardy and bed hop.

 

[IdleRich]

I read that too... they used to give out loads of condoms for the inevitable fuck fest.

You can't watch most of it anyway because the Olypmic Commitee sold all the viewing rights to the Discovery Channel, the neoliberal swines.

The 2012 generation were literally farmed out of schools across the land and subjected to psychological torture for five years for those medals hauls in Beijing and Stratford.

Apart from Christine Ohorougu who was subjected to a relentless and vitriolic campaign of abuse in an attempt to stop her competing by the racist media.

Team GB is a sinister edifice, a smooth mask covering a cracked face.
