Yeah me too. I'm usually a cynical and pessimistic person, but I genuinely love watching how excited and happy the athletes are during opening ceremonies.I hope everyone has fun and no one gets hurt![]()
This is mainly what I'm looking forward to. Feels like I missed the last few Olympics and they were over before I even realized they were going on. I have a nostalgic soft spot for the winter games since I have more memories of being a kid and watching that while my mom made fruit cake.Of course, tennis is on clay at Roland Garros, which is a small advantage to the Europeans. Americans typically don't do as well on clay, because we don't have many clay courts in the US.
Anyone else excited for the ridiculousness that is Kayak-cross?
I don't know why but when I first read "kayak-cross" I imagined the thing in American Gladiators where they'd beat the shit out of each other with the Q tips but in kayaks. The real thing makes a little more sense.Anyone else excited for the ridiculousness that is Kayak-cross?
Is there really anything new in masonry? It's just laying bricks/stones and slathering some mortar between them still isn't it?I'll be watching the opening ceremony but mostly to see what kind of masonic magic is being cooked up. I have expect some major event to take place this year as its the 33rd games...
Don't the cyclists like to hide electric motors in their bikes? (Insert hiding behind couch emoji.)I was exited for the promise to clean the Seine to finally be able to swim in it, which of course they fumbled. Also Macron's promise to swim in it for the opening was almost as hilarious as the public response swearing to take a shit upstream 24h in advance.
Hoh wait you meant actually sports? Then I don't really care as the Olympics don't have any motor sports.
