The BBC commentators were hardly any better when it came to the Olympic ceremony. A lot of “And now the Central African Republic. Sadly, the site of an ongoing civil war, hopefully these athletes can life the nation’s spirits!”
But also, as Build references, these are observable facts about the countries. Yeah, it’s blunt stereotypes, but what are the commentators meant to say in the 30 seconds they have until the next country rolls out?
I think it’s more that the Japanese don’t exactly need to pretend to be nice to countries they don’t fucks with. It’s not like Eurovision.
Just finished watching the Womens Street Finals.
Fucking excellent. Every bit.
I did think the comping was weird, but then…sort of gave it a pass as theres so much strategy at this level that you can’t give up on your high scoring go-tos just because someone else is claiming it.
Bit of an excuse but made sense in my head.
Marji is rad and Rayssa. Alexis, obvs.
Fuck it…everyone was.
Stoked to catch a glimpse of Wileman, too.
Needed more bongs and grown men in nappies puking everywhere
You could say that about anything, really…
Taekwondo lets gooooo
I like this elaborate card system
Funny isn’t it. C’mon Lauren.
The scoring seems totally random. I have no idea what’s going on. Cmon!
1 point body punch, 2 point body kick, 3 head kick.
Plus 2 for a spinning kick.
Who she’s from blackwood? This croatian girl is going to get fucked up.
Fuck she’s miles ahead can she just run away?!
Yer, she’s Welsh. Plenty of time left, one spinning head kick and its a draw.
Yes Lauren, bring it home! Fucking cards out!
Ah what?! Noooo. How the fuck did she win that?!
Told ya.
The men’s gymnastics team final was genuinely thrilling. Won’t spoil it for those who want to catch up, but it went right down to the end.
Wait, so you can’t just pick up a skateboard and do that shit? Well fuck that, no wonder all the kids these days are so into show-jumping and canoe slalom.
Can’t get moving for teenagers with horses in the town centre now. Half of them don’t even ride, and they’ve got brand new horses. Ridiculous.
wait, is the first dude saying it is a good thing or not?
Wonder who he thinks the very few world class ones are ?
I think everyone needs to calm down. Im reading that as a positive because its more accessible (and you dont need yachts or horses) which means any kid could compete at a national level vs equestrians who by default have to be of means
