I assume the Russian federation won't be participating in this Olympics because what is going on in the War between them and Ukraine, though.

By the way, since there have been some threads about match fixing and cheating around in this section lately, I wonder what you guys think about match fixing within the Olympics?

I wonder who will come out on top in the medals table, my guess is the USA or China as usual.

It seems that everyone enjoys the track and field event as I also one of them. And it will be obvious that in the mens and womens, the 100 m, 200 m and the relays are going to be team USA vs Jamaica. There were Olympics that the Jamaican team really out muscled the USA in this event.

Definitely, boxing as well will be the sports that I'm going to watch.

And in the last Olympics, our country, The Philippines has won it's first Gold Medal last summer games (2020) and it's in weightlifting and so our very own Hidilyn Diaz will be defending his gold in Women's 55 kg.

I like field and track events, especially running. I like long jump and high jump and the one with the stick. I also like swimming. I do not watch the football, I do not know if it is interesting or not but I prefer world cup instead of the Olympic football. But generally there are many other interesting matches which are fun. I also prefer to watch it than to use it to bet. I may try small amount of money this time if the matches are available on bookie sites.

The same, there will be a series of games for both boys and girls in order to qualify for the Olympics,

It debut in 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina wherein the IOC said that it was a success as it got 1 million views, even beating any other sports in it's inauguration.

Break dance should be an easy medal for some Asian countries. In Japan, South Korea and others this is super big and when you see events it's often dancers from those countries that make the biggest splash.

It's nice and refreshing to see some "unusual" sports are getting added into the mix. These athletes deserve some recognition on the biggest stage possible, just like skateboarders and surfers.

saw I news about this last year. I wonder how the break-dancing athletes qualify for the Olympics, I mean, in other sports, athletes would need to join competitions and win or at least reach a certain ranking or score in order to meet the Olympic standard and since break-dancing is debuting this year in the Olympics I wonder if the requirements in order to qualify to compete in the Olympics are the same.

World Championships – The B-Boy and B-Girl champion at the 2023 WDSF World Championships, scheduled for 23 to 24 September in Leuven, Belgium, will obtain a quota place, respecting a two-breakdancer NOC limit per gender.

Continental Qualification Events – The highest-ranked eligible B-Boy and B-Girl at each of the five continental qualifying tournaments (Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania) will obtain a quota place, respecting a two-breakdancer NOC limit per gender. If two breakdancers from the same NOC dominate the WDSF World Championships and their respective continental qualification tournament, the former will qualify directly for the Games with the latter providing another opportunity to book another slot for his or her NOC through the Olympic Qualifier Series (OQS).[3]

Olympic Qualifier Series – The top seven B-Boys and B-Girls eligible for qualification after a four-month-long invitational series of events will obtain a quota place, respecting a two-breakdancer NOC limit.

Host country – As the host country, France reserves one quota place each for the B-Boys and B-Girls events. If two French breakdancers for each gender qualify directly through any of the tripartite routes (world championships, continental meets, or Olympic Qualifier Series), the host country slots will be reallocated to the next highest-ranked eligible breakdancer from OQS.[2]

Universality places – Two invitational places will be available for eligible NOCs interested in having their breakdancers compete in Paris 2024 in keeping with the universality principle.

Break dancing debuts at a Summer Olympic event. This will be very interesting to watch on a global stage with very talented performances who have otherwise not been able to compete as a sport in a global event like this.

Besides this I will be focused on the track and field events, this will be the main focus for almost everyone and the ceiling for the athletes is very high, anyone can make a name for themselves and start a story that'll last the next 8-10 years.cam we have a poll to predict the number of new world records we'll get and which countries will make it into the top 10 on the medal table?

So this year they will not have cricket in Olympics but from 2028 cricket will be added to the event. The format of cricket that has been approved is T20, which makes it more interesting. I liked only one game in Olympics and that is the  track and field event. The reason being you don't find athletes from track and filed playing every year. Another game that makes me glued to the TV is badminton, reason being it is now one of the most celebrated sport in my country and I have played the game a lot of times in my childhood.

My targets to bet for are basketball, boxing, tennis, and maybe archery. I was kind of entertained by that archery game that I watched in the past although I didn't know whose country was good at it. Yet.

I enjoy the athletics the most but it’s good to watch live sports every day throughout the Olympics.

I wonder who will come out on top in the medals table, my guess is the USA or China as usual.

Hmmmm that is a good question, care to place a wager Sir?  I want to put my money on the US but I feel like China is always so stacked and literally every year it is a battle between China and the US. I think I may actually place a wager on this.

We are only a few months away from the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad or 2024 Summer Olympics that are scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France.

With EURO 2024 this is one of the biggest international sport event this year with participation of more than 10,000 athletes around the world.
They will compete in 45 different sports so everyone can find something to follow, and winning a medal in Olympic games is always something special.
Most popular sports are football, basketball and tennis but there are many more sport events coming.

I like watching the football obviously but I got engrossed in the cycling and rowing for some reason in the last games, the sailing is fascinating too.
