Wrestling don't start until the 14th, decathlon the 17th. So, if I happen to see some boxing, it'll just be while flipping channels.

four sports are the full 16 days of these games basketball boxing handball indoor volleyball three sports have only two days mountain biking trampolining triathlon IN the past, boxing has had a ton of coverage in the US. This year? Not as much. And quite honestly, after the judging disaster in London, I'd argue for boxing's expulsion. not doing themselves any favours by having pros and removing the head guards either! utter stupidity imo

STOP SHOWING THE AMERICAN TEAM! If I wore that outfit, I'd have to kick my own ass. Ralph Lauren needs to get what it paid for. They provided the outfits after all. Who buys that? Besides Judge Smails?

Gotta feel bad for some of these countries at the tail end. Every combination of clothing has been done, anything goofy they do to the cameras has already been repeated 50 times by each large delegation. And these poor kids walking with the little trees look like they're about to drop.

The Palestinian girls were cute.
Really, they were.
These will be shitty games for Canada, I can tell.
Wrestling, Judo, Boxing... I'll be watching. Karate's coming in in Tokyo, I wish MMA was in.
Or Pro Wrestling as judged performance art. What, ain't worse than couples' figure skating.
"So here we have, Jon Moxley & Colby Lopez for the United States... tie up, STRONG, POWERFUL!!! Back up in the ropes, nice throw, beautiful running, shoulder block, beautiful flat bump by Lopez, Moxley fluidly down into the side headlock... a LITTLE SLIP getting it together, have judges seen it? Nice recovery..."
"Up next, Shibata & Ishii for Japan... Shibata did not pull the kick... SHIBATA DID NOT PULL THE KICK AGAIN!!!! ISHII WITH A MINIMAL PULL ON THE HEADBUTT... What a dissapointing performance for Japan. SLAP NOT PULLED BY SHIBATA! AND BACK BY ISHII!!!!! Judges will not like this, pro wrestling is a beautiful art where PAIN IS NOT REAL. What a dissapointment..."
"Next, Shera & Singh reprensenting INDIA!!!"

I thought the torch lighting would have consisted of the IOC president burning medical records.

I was all set with Hamilton references for St. Kitts and Nevis, but NBC beat me to it. I'm just delighted they are getting recognition.
