@BlackMastodon Last time it was swimming. This time probably a lot more since they were allowed to get away with it.

Last night I explained the concept of blood doping to my wife and she was horrified. I was surprised she had never heard of it before.

I happened to catch some wrestling matches today - pretty cool but the scoring system makes absolutely no sense at all. Two 130kg men hugging and suddenly one of them gets 2 points for absolutely nothing

Same for me with Judo. I had no fucking idea what was going on, and it wasn't even that physical.

Women's park skateboarding final was wild. Sad that the Finnish chick only got 5th place but at least she wasn't last. And I think she was the youngest so she has a bright career ahead of her.

So they really had Tom Cruise play Mission Impossible for the closing ceremonies, eh?

Yeah, that was either lame or embarassing or both. On some level I appreciated the RHCP performance, but it was cool to see Dre and Snoop together.

Cringey Hollywood bullshit aside, this was still a cool Olympic games and I'm glad I paid attention to it. I had fun watching, and we got a couple S-tier memes out of them.

Watching Curry drop those 3s was so sick. Love seeing athletes get in that zone where they just become unstoppable.
USA women's bball was a nailbiter, tough end for France.
