Olympics 2024

Watching the mixed 10m air pistol and it looks mad stressful. Indian lady is so focused but hitting almost perfect every time.

didn’t hear that on the feed. why the fuck were people booing Ginwoo??

Cos it’s the Olympics and a competition full of people that don’t get skateboarding, there’s gonna be a lot more of this.

That’s why Rayssa put out a video before the Olympics asking people to cheer for her opponents not boo them .

but why boo him but not everyone else? or was everyone getting boo’d by people who weren’t from their nation?

Probably the same mentality as the parents booing other kids on weekend league football

I don’t get how Jagger’s nollie 270 bluntslide was harder than Yuto’s.
Jagger saw the hubba while he jumped onto it, Yuto didn’t. Jagger didn’t have to lock in very well (and certainly did not), Yuto had to. Sure, a back blunt is easier than a frontside down anything like the stuff those guys skate but the other parameters all make Yuto’s banger much crazier in my opinion.

I don’t understand how Richard Tury’s varial heel 5-0 got a better score than Kelvin’s cab back noseblunt either. Kelvin got underscored many times.

Alright, enough with that shit…

A mate did the commentary on national telly, I thought he did an alright job but could have done better considering the audience, kinda wanted to PM him about it but didn’t want to be that old guy giving advice nobody asked for. Somehow bumped into him very randomly in IKEA today and told him about all that and he was stoked! :upside_down_face:

Gonna watch the women’s final tonight if I can.

Backside 270 Noliie to bluntslide deffo harder that Cab Backside Nosebluntslide on the spots they chose to do them on.

No one is doing Yutos trick but Yuto.

PS. Did anyone catch Jake Darwens insta story of Yuto?
100% gold.
Yuto stumbling around in a hotel bathroom wasted and looks to camera and giggling says “You want to be meeeeee…But you can’t.”

Absolutely hilarious.
He keeps getting better.
