The Olympics start in a couple of weeks so now is as good a time as any to start talking about it.
I've looked around a little and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Do any of you know where I can find a list of Olympians in the 2024 games from Arkansas? I seem to remember a listing somewhere in 2020 that could be sorted by state, but I haven't been able to find that this time around.
In my search, I found several articles from NWA listing the athletes that have ties to the UofA, but none of them had a list of people from Arkansas.
There's a link in this article to an excel file that lists home state for each athlete.

That chick who MCs with Jon Williams at football and basketball games made the Olympic team. She will be competing in the heptathlon.

Given the current political climate we can't be too far from Men's Synchronized Swimming being a sport.
We should field a team. I am not very good in the water but I have solid deck work.

I'm picking the second option.
It's at the Alma Sonic.
Getting close now. We have LeBron and Coco Gauff carrying our flag. LeBron, who kneeled for many a national anthem. A disgrace.
I'm not too sure how excited the swimmers are that have to get in the Seine River. Supposedly nasty stuff, but the mayor of Paris did take a dip in it about a week ago.
I wonder if LaJackass knows that we don't dip our flag for anybody.
What a fucking disgrace, that guy in particular, but in general a near billionaire 40 year old instead of any of a couple of hundred more compelling stopries from people who don't get paid nearly as much.
The left sure does like to suck off billionaires and near billionaires.
Honestly, I'm kinda surprised they didn't have Britney Griner carrying the flag.
Are the French still planning to shit in the Seine after they guaranteed it would be fine for the games? I hope so. No way I'd wanna be in France for all this...they have so much political unrest and Muslims they're bound to have something go wrong

It is the only time I watch any swimming. And sometimes women's soccer. And then a few minutes of the weird things, like the guys that paddle those little pirogues, or whatever they are.
Well the US just got it broken off in them during their rugby match. Fiji is a small country that probably trippled their national debt just to fly its team to the games, but they sure know how to play funky football.
The only thing about the Olympics is the open games and making a drinking game out of it. I have no desire to watch most of that shit and don't really care. Nobody that's throwing a disc is getting on the cover of a wheatie's box it's just a select few anyone gives af about everyone else that goes remains poor

Well shit. I would have watched rugby if I had known it was on. I have two brothers who used to play it in Central Arkansas, and I understand it. When you see good teams play it can be a lot of fun.

I am guessing they are working hard to maintain some perfectly safe but relatively small areas for tourists, and warning them not to go outside those areas.

Probably, most of the security forces are at the Olympics venues. That leaves less security at the tourist spots in town or surrounding areas. Look for something to happen outside the Olympic areas.

I wouldn't shed even one tear if our US basketball team flamed out in spectacular fashion. Fuck em.

I can't imagine a place like that had high ratings or good reviews.
I have watched too many "third world travel" videos to be bothered by bugs. Kurt Caz is one if any of you know him. Many others.

I wonder how they convinced the agitators to stop striking and protesting. When I was there last year, each day different large sections of the tourist areas got shut down for protests, while various monuments and destinations got shut down by strikes.
Islands of full garbage bags everywhere. And of course, homeless tent villages. We stayed in an apartment in a very expensive part of town, and every night around 10PM the bums would drag mattresses out of nowhere onto the sidewalks to set up and get wasted.

I have long said "Pride" is the religion of the Globalist left. The issue is that they can't just have their own religion, they must have a crusade against existing religion as they see it as a blasphemy against their "Pride" worship. This is what you are seeing from all sides, with the attacks against Christianity from the left. Might be just about time to fire up the Templars and do some cleansing ourselves.

I thought the opening ceremony was way too long and boring. I blame NBC for most of that with odd places for commercials and then nonstop ramblings. Who the fuck thought Peyton Manning would be a good addition? He added nothing. I wish there was a dedicated channel to the ceremony without Mike Tirico and gang. Just show the ceremony.
The best part of the show was the French singer who sang "Imagine" and then Celine Dion who was able to figure out how to not be stiff and rediscover her overly dramatic movements. Her vocals were on point.
Nonetheless, the French did as well as they could without their usual "figure out a way to fuck things up."

This Olympics has convinced me that there is no longer a Left vs Right or a Democrat vs Republican. It is simply boiled down to the Elite vs You. You enjoy a good steak and beer on the weekends, and the the elite hate you because you should be enjoying Beyond Meat and feeling guilty for being straight. You worship a deity that is greater than man and demands you to expect more from yourself and others instead of worshiping hedonism and excess as the Elite do. You should be grateful for Lady Gaga dancing around with her dick hanging out and Snoop Dogg acting like a retard instead of an opening ceremony celebrating nearly 2000 years of French Culture.

It's confusing. The artistic director said it was not a depiction of the last supper.
Thomas Jolly, the artistic director behind the flamboyant opening ceremony, said the scene had not been inspired by "The Last Supper" and depicted a pagan feast linked to the gods of Olympus.However, one of the characters in the scene seems to admit that it is the last supper by saying this.
"What bothers people isn't that we're reproducing this painting," Bardin continued, "what bothers people is that queer people are reproducing it."Seems to me that they absolutely intended to recreate the scene. The similarities are just to close to come to any other reasonable conclusion.

Lolz Paris Olympics cancels triathlon training session for a second day because....the seine is too dirty. They've literally spent $1.5 billion to clean up the high levels of E. coli. Sorry but if I was a competitor I'd ask for somewhere different or go home. What made them ever think that river was gonna be safe to swim in?
Omg one of the American triathletes is quoted today in USA Today as saying he came prepared to expose himself to E. coli in days to day...when asked what he was doing he told them he quit washing his hands when he goes to the bathroom 🤦�♀️

Wasn't watching live, but I understand that walking into the arena Biles was wearing a GOAT necklace. The thing about being the GOAT, they never call themselves that, they let others call them that. Then she falls off the beam and goes out of bounds twice during floor. Not what most would a GOAT performance. I have a feeling she's pretty much a diva.

If chicks box why can dudes artistic swim?

That Kazakhstan dude was also pretty good. I did not realize they are adding flag football in 2028. That could actually be fun to watch.

Press is already coming out and saying that people are mean for making fun of her. "She was just expressing herself!" If you are acting like a moron and dancing like a moron, I am going to laugh at you. Either way, I enjoyed the women's and men's competition. Dont know if it will be back in 2028

she didn't do any break dancing she has a PhD in cultural movement whatever the fuck that means but it sure as hell isn't break dancing and I'm shocked Australia paid for her to come to the Olympics and she beat others to show up

That was some finish to the women's basketball final. The refs tried their best to screw us out of that game, but we won anyway.

Refs let them play and had no calls on big fouls that happened in that first run. This is a shitty women's team that barely got their gold. Was glad Griner got benched; too bad she's not rotting in a Russian jail.
Can anyone name 4 players on the women's Olympic team that played in the gold medal game.
All hail 42 year Taurasi who got her 6th gold but DNP in the gold medal game. Was she really a better choice than Clark or Reese?
They will lose at some point just like the men will, the world is catching up and developing better players while aau and nil are just going to make American players soft.

tom cruise doesn't keep up, he'll win the fucking thing
Not only are the opening and closing ceremonies weird as shit, they are also way too long.
The whole gymnastics thing was fucking retarded, yet all these fucking super-retards claiming racism for the Romanian girl getting the Bronze she fucking earned take the cake.
The judges, likely motivated by ACTUAL racism and wanting an 'All Black' Podium made the mistake the screw the white girl in the first place. Now, the fucking super-retards are claiming racism for what they know is the right decision to give the Romanian the Bronze.
You just can't fucking please these people. When blatant racism goes there way, they are fine with it, but when fairness is applied, they see it as racism. Equal treatment feels like racism when you have had that special 'Privilege' for so long.
I don't blame the black girl one bit, it is the retards, including her retard sister, claiming racism that I despise.

BUT, if you look at the WHOLE picture, the Romanian girl didn't "earn" it. They scored Chiles wrong. They admitted they scored her wrong. The hoopla is that the US was "allegedly" 4 seconds too late in appealing. Either way, the Romanian didn't "earn" the Bronze. She was/might be gifted the Bronze due to the judges messing up the scoring, but it wasn't earned.

False, they also deducted points for the Romanian 'touching' outside the line when she absolutely did not and video clearly confirms it. She got fucked.

The US is now appealing that decision and USA Gymnastics announced Sunday that it has submitted additional evidence to CAS as part of the effort to have gymnast Chiles' medal reinstated.
The organization said it has video evidence "conclusively establishing that Head Coach Cecile Landi's request to file an inquiry was submitted 47 seconds after the publishing of the score, within the 1-minute deadline required by FIG rule."
"The video footage provided was not available to USA Gymnastics prior to the tribunal's decision and thus USAG did not have the opportunity to previously submit it."

Wrong again.
The girl that got wrongly deducted 0.1 is officially "tied" for 3rd, but lost due to a tie-break with the other girl and if they hadn't fucked her, would be in actual third ahead of Chiles and Barbosu.
Rebeca Andrade. 14.166.
Simone Biles. 14.133.
Ana Maria Bărbosu. 13.700. ...
Sabrina Maneca‐Voinea. 13.700. ...
Jordan Chiles. 13.666. ...
Adding .1 to Chiles has her jumping both of them at 13.766, but adding in the fraudulent deduction for Voinea puts her back up into 3rd solely at 13.800.
https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/40809278/jordan-chiles-moves-third-fifth-floor-ruling
The Romanian coach should have protested the bad call on the foot but did not. She got fucked by her coaches not watching right.
Had the judges made the calculation correctly from the start she would have won the bronze by a narrow margin. Chiles should have been given the bronze back since the video proves the protest was within the rules. Fucking eurotrash Vichy French Nazi shit.

Kudos to you for doing all of that math and trying to bail yourself but you know that's not who the OP was referring to when he said she didn't EARN it.
The gymnast that "didn't step out" is not relevant to this issue. Her coach didn't protest about that.
And Chiles appeal has been denied.
USA Gymnastics announced in a statement on social media Monday, Aug. 12, that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has denied the Olympian's appeal to reinstate the bronze medal she received after the women's individual floor exercise final on Monday, Aug. 5.
"USA Gymnastics was notified by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Monday that their rules do not allow for an arbitral award to be reconsidered even when conclusive new evidence is presented," the statement read. "We are deeply disappointed by the notification and will continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process, including to the Swiss Federal Tribunal, to ensure the just scoring, placement, and medal award for Jordan."

Uhh, in a discussion about getting screwed by the judges, she absolutely is. She got screwed even more than the American or her teammate. She is the RIGHTFUL third place finisher. Try to keep up.

But of course. The panel that said the U.S. challenge was 4 seconds too late was headed by a fucking Romanian. Should have recused.
We'll see how far the U.S. fights this in court, since they have video evidence they challenged twice within the one minute limit for the final gymnast. Had the judges used the correct calculation Chiles would have won without controversy.
As far as the Romanian that stepped out, her coaches and staff had three minutes to submit a challenge and failed to do so. She got fucked by her team, so too fucking bad.
Quote from: Keyser Soooie on Aug 14, 2024, 10:23 AMSo you were just mistaken about her now getting the bronze. Got it.

But they did and she didn't appeal, so she was not actually in the mix for a bronze. It was always between Chiles and Barbosu.

Sooo, yes, she is the one that got fucked out of the RIGHTFUL medal. Neither Barbosu/Chiles deserved the medal over her if the judges call everything right. Her getting fucked by her coaches not appealing doesn't change that.
The whole point was that Chiles claiming racism is laughable when the RIGHTFUL bronze medalist got fucked even worse and it was obviously not racism.
Are you two really fighting over the second loser? None of them deserve anything because they all lost.
