Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 4 minutes ago, Chest Rockwell said: For anyone who wants to surf through all the weird and wonderful nonsense the Olympics has to offer you can get discovery streaming for 3.99 for a month to cover the duration, seeing as bbc will mainly be carrying the mainstream stuff. I'm quite tempted -this is one of the very few sports things I get excited by. Speed climbing is amazing to watch too! I know it's a bit 'samey' but the speed they fly up those walls never fails to impress me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted July 26 Author Members Share Posted July 26 I don't like that we have to pay for the Olympics (think it should be free to air always) but £4 is decent for a month. Full schedule here: https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule and the BBCs day by day guide is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c1dmp9krz91o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Weezenal Posted July 26 Paid Members Share Posted July 26 For anyone that managed to get the 99c or $1.99 Peacock US offer I posted a while back they look like they're showing a lot (5000 hours worth) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted July 26 Author Members Share Posted July 26 There has already been a coordinated attack on the French rail system:Â https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/26/vandals-target-french-rail-network-olympics-opening-ceremony This might not have been the best place to hold it... The last time I went to Paris, some kids stole my baguette, attempted to put some banger fireworks in it, gave it back to me and then tried lighting them while I was holding it, while screaming BON ANNEE at me. They're mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Jim Bob Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The Skateboarding Mens Street final at 4pm is the first days highlight for me. First proper day I guess as a bunch of events have already started. Â Interested in the US Mens basketball teams progress starting on Sunday. They have an incredibly star studded team led by Lebron James this Olympics. They haven't particularly impressed in the recent warm up games though and have a tough test against Serbia in their first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 26 Paid Members Share Posted July 26 Just want to put in place my usual rant that we shouldn't have football at the Olympics but should have futsal and beach soccer instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I've already seen a riot over Olympic football, the most worthless international tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 26 Paid Members Share Posted July 26 The breaking competition will be both interesting and a bit wistful for me - I've got a couple of breakers on my roster trying out for TeamGB. Neither got in, which is disappointing, but the big shock was that NONE of TeamGB made it, which is insane given how many champions the UK has produced. A guy who used to be on our roster, Sunni, has gone on to be a multiple Red Bull BC One champion, and he didn't qualify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 This opening ceremony had a novel idea in theory, the execution has been nothing short of diabolical!  This torch carry is draining and boring..light show was good though...for the first 5mins or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 26 Paid Members Share Posted July 26 Not a single Daft Punk song during the entire thing. Outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
