Japan 2020* Olympics

Yeah gotta say at the risk of being branded on old fogey - the skateboarding was ridiculously underwhelming....... although to be honest me and the family watched all of about 10 minutes it was so excruciating....
 
Gold medal for skateboarding should go to the best stack on your arse..

Olympics has been dying in the arse for years ..
They’re just trying to entice the next generation to get involved ..
skateboarding
Surfing
Tennis
soccer etc …shouldn’t be in the Olympics imo

Skateboarding - They all seem to be crap at it. Why are they at the Olympics?
It's a bunch of kids that can't do the tricks they're trying. It belongs in a local park with a viewing audience of 10 other kids.

Yeah it’s garbage .. same as surfing .. both ain’t sports .. just pastimes

It's not fair Hobbo ...they go to the skate park and they can sniff glue or paint ...you get to the Olympics and what do you have ...pressure dude

That’s was the X games are for dude

Wait for 2032 mate ...gum boot throwing .....kangaroo wrangling ....putting crap on the WT's ......

Medals galore for Australia

next olympics

Blocker must be a proud Dad watching his son in the Water Polo representing Australia in the Olympics.

Not the 1st time he has been rep for Australia for a while now. But who wouldn’t be proud of their kid getting a crack at the Olympics.

Phil Kearns daughter in the female water polo side ...I'm not sure if Wally Lewis daughter Jamie Lee made an Olympics but she was a very good player seeing she was profoundly deaf

I think Daryl Halligan's daughter is also representing Australia in the Water Polo team too.

Yep. The Kearn’s & Halligan’s used to be in my daughters club team along with two others in the Aussie team. They did well last nigh against a strong Dutch team.
 
Owen Wright and Sally Fitzgibbons looking good in the surfing - shame about the quality of the surf, but they're surfing with good strategy.
