Just wait till swimming starts or athletics.

Swimming games have already started and we had 4 events yesterday. Australia won 2 of gold medals and the other two were awarded to Germany and United States.

Thank you for correction. Then it means that swimming just started. USA usually get a lot of medals in swimming. They usually bring 20-30 swimmers to Olympic games. I have checked out swimming timetable - everything is still to go. 33 more events to go.

I have read that France tried to clean their river Seine to make it suitable for Olympics. I have also read that some athletes claimed that they are going to take some medicine to be protected from skin and health problems after swimming there. I can already predict doping scandals due to that.

I am more surprised to see Kazakhstan with a gold medal, as they usually get medals in boxing and weightlifting, and a bronze in judo.

Me too. Kazakhstan won that gold medal in Judo and that was their first gold medal in history of olympics judo. They had won 4 judo medals (including 2 silver medals and 2 bronze medals) in previous olympics.

I'm wondering how much shame my country will suffer in these Olympic Games.

The only one who should be ashamed in these Olympics so far are the organizers as opening ceremony was a fucking disgrace, pushing their agenda on something that should be only about sports. It was so bad that for the first time in many years I couldn't watch it till the end.

Although it might be quite surprised to see Australia on top, but they have send a big contingent as well so it make sense that they are leading so far.

Not really a surprise to see Australia at the top at this moment as swimming competitions alreayd started and they are always good in everything that has something to do with water. They naturally won't end up there but I see them overall finishing in top 5 or close to that (deff in top 10) which is a great result considering there's only like ~26 million of them.

Kazakh judoka Yeldos Smetov won gold in the men’s final of the 2024 Paris Olympics in the weight category up to 60 kilograms today.

So pretty sure there will be great performances from countries that haven't won any medals, so it's going to be historic Olympic for them.

It is surprising that there will be breakdancing competitions at the Summer Olympics in Paris. I have always watched these dances with interest, which have now become a sport. This is a wonderful tradition and, perhaps. Someday, other dances like Brazilian capoeira will also become sports.
There will also be such an interesting sport as sport climbing.
These games are very representative, 206 Olympic national teams will participate in them, with the exception of Russia and the Republic of Belarus. Although, as they write, some Russian and Belarusian athletes will be able to take part in the games under neutral status.
It is interesting that initially such cities as Los Angeles and even Boston fought for the host city.

I liked some parts of the opening, but overall it was a very psychedelic and unconventional opening. It was almost like a hyperactive drag queen organized some parts. It was nice and successful that the opening ceremony was held outdoors in the city center and around the Seine river, not in the stadium. The lighting of the Olympic fire was ordinary. Honestly, it would have been a legendary event if the fire was lit at the tip of the Eiffel Tower. However, I think that placing the fire in the middle of the Tuliere garden spoiled the whole ambiance and the moment of lighting the fire was not memorable. The final of such a big event could have been bigger and more memorable. Still, I realized that I miss the elegance of the old Olympics.

The only good part about the opening ceremony was the Parade Of Nations through the Seine river on boats. Apart from that the French authorities tried to push as much as political correctness and woke behavior down the throats of the audience as possible. Christians are offended after they distorted the last supper with a performance by LGBT people. I have watched Olympics opening ceremonies from several events in the past and this was the first time it got to such a gross and diabolique display.

I'm wondering how much shame my country will suffer in these Olympic Games. Today we've already started to feel shame, because one of my country's athletes lost in a shameful way in the 100-meter swim.

What race was that as I didn't watch all the qualifying? Was it worse than this one:
https://www.reuters.com/sports/athletics/somalia-suspend-athletics-chair-after-runner-takes-21-seconds-finish-100m-2023-08-03/

And talking about swimming, remember this guy?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Moussambani
He swam the slowest time in the Olympics, managed to win the heat because the other two were disqualified, his time was too slow to progress despite winning but he got a national record! Beat this!

The first Basketball game of the Olympics just ended between Australia and Spain, Josh Giddey and Jock Landale with Patty Mills turning back the hands of time playing like his prime had Spain on the slaughter slab today...

All I can say is that Chicago Bulls have got themselves a huge steal with Josh Giddey trade ngl!!

I feel the same after watching Josh Giddey and like you said above , Chicago Bulls really made a golden pick this summer that will surely help this team to actually catch play-offs and have a proper run.

We still have 1 game to watch between Greece and Canada and personally I can't wait to see Giannis playing some basketball because it's been a long time since I personally saw him playing and hopefully he will carry his team to a win but also he will not overwork himself to risk again any injuries.

The time we have been waiting for a long time has come and the Olympics have started. We watched a lot of videos about the Olympic villages before, and now the competitions attract our attention too. When we looked at the results of the first day, I realized how much I missed the Olympics. I hope it will be a healthy and beautiful tournament for all Athletes, we really missed the Olympics

Because of the different numerous games that are contested in the Olympics, the excitement it brings to households across the length and breadth of the world can never be overemphasized. Many spectators of the events have been eagerly waiting for a time like this so I expect us all to enjoy every moment of it. Football is my favorite sport event but track events will always catch my fancy. The results in different games I've watched so far have been very entertaining and I'm looking forward to enjoy more of it

What a performance from Remco Evenepoel.
He was able to finish the Tour de France in top 3 1 week ago and today he destroyed everyone in the run against the timer in the Olympics.
He will win so many races.

So far the betslip is going on just nice. Grin

I only need over 169.5 points in the Greece - Canada game and that's it. But I have some doubts about it at the same time. I mean both rosters are great. Canada has got way stronger than the previous Olympics. There is Giannis at Greece now. My doubt is related to Greece especially. Giannis would like to play his own game but the team might not give that freedom.

I hope there wouldn't be any serious issue with their scoring ability because of that. By the way, Germany really scared me as they were likely to mess up in the 2nd quarter.

Good luck with your bet, and as you've suggested hitting the over might be dependent on how well or how many points Greece are able to score because I don't think scoring would be much of a problem for Canada, with SGA, Jamal Murray and RJ Barrett at the helm of their offensive affairs, I think Giannis will impose his play and style on Greece, because at least the team needs to play to the strength of their best player in order to stand a chance.

I just saw Spain men defeat the Dominican side by 3 goals to 1 and it didn't help the Dominican side that they were down to ten players and that they were playing against a formidable side like Spain and an early goal from Barcelona's Fermin Lopez set the ground running for them, then two more goals from Alex Baena and Gutierrez sealed their fate in the Olympics quarter finals and it's not really a surprise that such could happen because through out the game, they dominated and showed composure.
Spain for me are clear favorites to winning the gold in this Olympics this time around.

Not to say, however, the opening ceremony was really bad, never has one been so bad in my opinion.

I disagree completely. That was one of the best opening ceremonies for the Olympics that I have ever seen in my life. The amazing lighting, epic places like Eiffel Tower, Louvre Pyramid, Rafa Nadal, Zidane, Carl Lewis were some of the highlights.

Also, the amazing performances by Celine freaking Dion and Lady Gaga were the icing on the cake.

Watching the France vs Brazil basketball match here
Over 3.00 odds for a Brazil win

I took a chance and now I'm rooting even harder hahaha, but it's going to be very difficult as the French are playing at home
The Brazilian team is in good shape, but unfortunately I think it's almost impossible to get the title

Today we've already started to feel shame, because one of my country's athletes lost in a shameful way in the 100-meter swim. Honestly, my country's corrupt government is destroying everything in my country. They know that my country's sports are weak, but since my country's leaders want to travel to France and watch the Olympic Games, they put athletes who don't meet the requirements in there so they have a chance to compete with athletes from other countries. And now my country's athlete lost in a humiliating way and has to return to my country. This is shameful.
