The men's artistic gymnastics just concluded and it was fire for the most part. China and Japan were duking it out till the end with Shinnosuke Oka barely taking gold for Japan and the Chinese taking silver and bronze.
Felt sad for the Ukraine dude who ended up in 4th position despite a great all-round performance. Japan keeps dominating in Olympic men's gymnastics.

Welcome to Olympic 2024 my great great grandfather had a tea cup from the '90s olympics and it looks awesome. But to be honest I just rarely know about current olympic there is a news that opening ceremony is not good enough or have some conspiracy theory behind it.
But I wish good luck to all people, especially my country Indonesia I just hope they bring more gold medals this time in badminton and martial art
Indonesia still not gets any medal from the current Olympics but they had gold medal tradition from Badminton because almost every events they can able to gets gold medal from this sport and currently still group phase which for Men’s Singles Indonesia has Anthony Ginting and Jonatan Christie but their performance were dissapointing because few hours ago they had just lost from their opponents and this makes them were eleminate early and failed to advances to round of 16 because only gets 1 win from 2 gamesBut I wish good luck to all people, especially my country Indonesia I just hope they bring more gold medals this time in badminton and martial art
For Women’s Singles Gregoria Tunjung has successfully to advances to the round of 16 after on the second game she can able to overcomes Czech Republic athlete Tereza Svabikova with 2 set in a row and this result makes her finish as the champion of group G and Gregoria opponent for round of 16 is Kim Ga-eun and i am confident Gregoria will be able to win this match because previously Gregoria has good results while met Kim Ga-eun because from 8 meeting total Gregoria always be win
But I wish good luck to all people, especially my country Indonesia I just hope they bring more gold medals this time in badminton and martial art
Indonesia is yet to open there account on Medal tally like many other countries. If I talk about my country i.e. Pakistan then we only have hope from one athlete (Arshad Nadeem in Javelin throw) to bring medal out of seven athletes. This time China is ahead on points table with 8 gold while USA surprisingly is way behind on point table so far with only 4 golds.
But to be honest I just rarely know about current olympic there is a news that opening ceremony is not good enough or have some conspiracy theory behind it.
There are indeed some incidents that may be part of a conspiracy from certain parties who want to take advantage of the Olympic momentum. Some argue that France is not the best place for the Olympics because of security or whatever. There are many reports on social media regarding disputes between supporters of several countries who may not like it for certain reasons. But we all have to remember that this is a big sports agenda for all athletes in the world from various sports. Everyone must put aside political interests and others. and uphold solidarity in fair play.

I'm curious what kind of cleanup is required if they spend that much money, does this mean other countries will need the same amount of capital to prepare for this sport?
The thing has been known for a century, it's how the city has been designed and every time it rains they must discharge water into the Seine to prevent backflow, you either discharge it or you have untreated water contamination, they've already built additional basins to store rainwater but if it rains as much (and as unusual) it won't be able to handle.
It's all good. The triathlon competition is already underway with Flora Duffy obliterating her competition at the moment.
At the moment...she was done after the first round.
Interestingly enough despite all the drama about the swimming in the Seine it was the cycling that was a disaster for most, I wonder how many trained on cobblestone streets (wet ones).
A lot of talk is going on about the “mysterious” box that is being given to the medal winners at Paris 2024 Olympics. No one has confirmed what is inside the rectangular box, that measures around 40cm in length.
You should do research throughly before you post such information. That box was known since the reward for every Olympian winner is declared.
It contains an iconic game poster as commemoration to the Olympics. I manage to get this picture on reddit channel that discuss this same topic 4 days ago. See the picture below for the actual picture. The poster is already visible on the picture that you posted.

No one has confirmed what is inside the rectangular box, that measures around 40cm in length. BTW, some media sources are comparing the financial rewards given to medal winners at the Games. On top we have Hong Kong, where gold medal winners are given $768,000 each. Then we have Singapore and Indonesia with $745,000 and $300,000 respectively. And at the bottom we have Australia, where gold medal winners are awarded just $13,000.
tennis at the Olympics has always made us laugh and let's face it it doesn't count for anything it's just to say I won the Olympics, there are other tournaments that count and it's certainly not that, just look at the best ones not even taking part, having said that Nadal was already cooked before that the match began so yes I was also happy that he came out and that Novak meets a stronger player
How do you say that tennis is not considered important in the Olympics? I agree that you cannot compare this to Wimbledon and any other grand slams but this does not mean that it is not important for the tennis player. A gold medal in the tennis Olympics always matter.
The match between Nadal and Djokovic was easily won by Djokovic. (6-1 and 6-4). I think the era for Nadal is over and it is not that he has lost his form but it is the age factor which becomes a drawback when he is facing opponents.
In a tennis players career the pinnacle of the sport are the Grand Slams, 4 per year - Australian Open,
Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open. Its a lucky few that get to win one let alone all 4.
Rarer still is to win the "Calendar Slam" all 4 slams in the one season.
Lets say a player is playing for 15 years, he/she has 60 chances to win 1 slam over the course of their carreer.
Move to an even rarer accolade - the Olympics. Over the course of their career a tennis player will have
approximately 4 chances to win a Gold medal, thats how rare they are.
If you want to something which is at the very top of a career in Tennis is completing a "Golden SLam"
all 4 slams and a Gold Olympic medal.
The most rarest is completing all these in one season, there is only a 1 person club in that one.
Quote
A Golden Slam is defined as having won each of the four Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open,
French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) as well as an Olympic Gold medal. Only one player (Steffi Graf)
has managed to achieve this feat in a single year (1988), although the Bryan brothers also achieved
their wins consecutively. Serena Williams is the only player to have achieved a Golden Slam in both
singles and doubles.

The olympics is massive in any atheletes career!
What I like most are the races in the running branch.
There are many sections such as breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, medley and relay races.
They are all enjoyable in their own way. The 200 meter freestyle relay was competed last night and England won. The last Olympic champion, USA, came in second. It was a very enjoyable fight.

Big surprise win for Egypt against Spain that was one of the main favorites of wining football Olympic tournament.
Now Spain finished in second place of Group C and they are playing against winner of Group D that is probably going to be Japan.
France is playing against Argentina and that looks like very interesting match.

I’m not surprised by seeing Egypt defeating Spain because Spain did not play very well in the match and Egypt is also a very strong country in this league, Egypt is an underrated country in this league and we have to take a look at their performance and know that they are very strong in this tournament, Spain has already qualified to another round of the tournament and I think is also part of the reason why they didn’t play very well in the match but I will advise Spain to try to play well next time if not they will be eliminated in the next round, the only teams that I’m interested in watching their games in this tournament are France and Argentina, France and Argentina are the best in this tournament and it will be very good if one of this country wins the trophy.
France and Argentina are going to play against each other in the semi-final if both teams play very well and qualify for the semi-final the match is going to be very tough because Argentina has a very strong squad the way France has, But I support France to win the trophy since Argentina has already won the Copa America, France always tried their best in every tournament and it will be very good if they win the Olympic trophy this season and my support if for France to win the title.
Not everything happens as planned in this Olympics. Over 1.4 billion was spent to clean up Seine river, but seems that it didn't helped. Triathlon competition was postponed because there is too high level of E.coli bacteria in the water. And it's not clear whether it will be possible to held competition on Wednesday:
https://apnews.com/article/2024-olympics-seine-river-water-quality-triathlon-24c7def74701d50e8c6cd5fad096721c
And today's conditions for all competions in open air was so difficult - air temperature in Paris was +36°C, I watched beach volleyball, tennis and some football and athletes really struggled with such heat. It won't be much better tomorrow.
Looks like the major reason why the water is deemed not ideal for the competition is due to rain. I wonder what kind of preparation they have to solve issue like this, considering postponing competition is definitely not the ideal answer. It's great if the competition can continue, but the prospect of getting trashed by some random events sounds a bit worrying for future competition.

I am more shocked, not only by the amount France spent to clean Seine, but that they got into trouble with unclean water, bacterias and etc on the day of event actually. Paris won the opportunity to held Olympic games in 2017. They had plenty of time to clean Seine (perhaps) or to build or find an alternative place to run swimming part of a triathlon. Seems that they were busy for years and prepared for Olympic games in last minutes.

I must say that yesterday I was thrilled by Simone Biles' gold. It was truly an excellent performance and it was truly a sumptuous performance even if the shame was that the gold was snatched from Italy even if they had no hope of winning. against the Americans so for them too the silver medal is the same as if they had taken the gold one so I would like to congratulate them too for the historic podium, beautiful emotions

It's all good. The triathlon competition is already underway with Flora Duffy obliterating her competition at the moment. Seems like she will another gold in this Olympics just like way back in Tokyo.It's good to see clutches like that but for sure it was an exhausting loss for Japan when they're about to win that.
Agreed. Felt really sad for Japan, but France were just a little bit better. Also, that crazy Strazel shot towards the end was fire. 
France vs Japan basketball game was freaking amazing. It had me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire game. Was expecting Japan to end up winning, but they messed up so many times in OT.
Kawamura and Victor were epic throughout the game. France seriously deserved to go through to the next round though. Amazing match overall!
Strazel did the last shot that made France able to tie the score with that 4 pts, a 3 point shot and a foul by Kawamura. It's seen that Kawamura was holding the waist of Strazel and that's a brilliant shot and move for him. Kawamura and Victor were epic throughout the game. France seriously deserved to go through to the next round though. Amazing match overall!
If they have an intention to foul, they should have done it before Strazel jumped so that there will only be 2 shots in the free throws to end the series for Japan.

This should be one of the wonders of the Olympics this year. No one expected that result so I guess it is the bookies day. Egypt truly humbled Spain who many were thinking they will destroy them. They lead them from first half and in the second half Ibrahim Adel scored his second goal which would have ended the match in 0-2 win against Spain if not of the late minute goal of the Nigerian born Spanish player Samu Omorodion. Despite the loss today, Spain still advanced to the next round in the second position behind Egypt. Now Spain finished in second place of Group C and they are playing against winner of Group D that is probably going to be Japan.

India has won fewer medals than North Korea, Cuba or Azerbaijan...
And South Korea is way more successful than North Korea at the Olympics so we can't completely ignore money being a factor as well. There are exceptions though, but when you look at the list of the most successfull countries, they are mostly among the most developed ones. Unless they are using the sport for other means, like DDR once did. After all, George Orwell once said that "sport is war minus the shooting".

For that reason I am staying away from betting on Olympic football. Betting on Olympic soccer is literally impossible. Differemt rosters of players with no way to know game to game what team will show up. Olympics are always like that. I guess it might be worth betting on the underdogs. I wonder if you bet on every underdog what the results would be

I'm not sure hat it can be considered as huge upset - both teams already have already secured their spots in nextround, so, this loss doesn't cost much for Spain. And yeah, I know that's not same teams, but remember what outcome we had when Spain met Morocco in 2022 World Cup Now Spain finished in second place of Group C and they are playing against winner of Group D that is probably going to be Japan.
