Olympics 2024

Had a family member telling me all about Andy Mac last night, like I didn’t know anything about skating. Not asking what I thought as someone they know has been into skated since a youngster to now but telling me! It wasn’t in a condescending way or anything just that they must have thought I had never heard of him or something, like he has just came out of nowhere at 51 to compete, haha.

yeah, folks at work have been talking to me about andy mac and sky brown.
bit weird.

on the tim o commentary they did a slo-mo recap of Arisa doing a trick in front of the olympic rings and he loudly declared ‘theres the money shot’. lulz.

also the discovery commentators talking about doing tricks down the hubba and me explaining where that term came from to the missus.

Just put a tenner on Andy Mac to get any medal at 22/1.

Saw Jussi on TV in the Finnish coach’s tent at the women’s park final yesterday

Yeah, this is the funny bit…seeing everyone in the background.
Jussi and Trevor Ward hugging amused me.
Trevor is the Oz coach and was (is?) partners with Tony Hawk on Theeve Trucks. All old mates from skating vert.
Wainwright is back there, too.
It’s nice to see a lot of those people who have held up scenes back on their home turf (or internationally) now being the backbone of these operations.

They are so good at organising this I don’t actually have time to try and do some ‘work’ between runs

God damn these guys are charging. This is sick. That Italian guy got jipped there.

Woolley’s got to do something next run. Pressure.

Alain underscored.

Did Yuto enter the park at the last Olympics too?

wait what? Yuto is in park too?

I’m sure that’s what they said.

Damn French broadcasters have switched to golf!?!

Yuto definitely entered a Vans park series pre covid, but never seen him mentioned in the Olympic park stuff.

I haven’t heard of any of these in heat 2.

Nah I got the Japanese names mixed up.
