2024 Olympics

[uagrad2007]

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.

Thanks! I'm surprised there is only 1 from Arkansas.  I thought I had heard there are more than that.

That link says paralympics.

There's a link for a pdf that shows the entire 2024 US Olympic roster. This is the only person who listed Arkansas as her home state and she's not even from here haha.

I think it's a list of all olympians...Olympics and Paralympics.

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 think about the least excited I've ever been about a summer Olympics. Couldn't even tell you where it's being hosted.

I thought it was on Hwy 22 between Subiaco and Ratcliff.

I'm picking the second option.

[Gambler]

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.

[egregious]

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.

[Hizog]

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised they didn't have Britney Griner carrying the flag.

[SwahiliSteve]

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

Other than track and field and gymnastics, the golf and basketball are just pros we see all the time.

Do the Olympics even matter anymore?

No, it's been one big human interest story for chicks since boxing quit being popular. They always manage to work in a lot of propaganda too.
