Haha Tom Cruise jumping off the roof of the stadium, then riding his motorbike out of the stadium with the Olympic flag, boarding a moving cargo plane and sky diving into LA where he changed the Hollywood sign to include the Olympic Rings….badass.

The yanks are going to really put a show on in ‘28.

And onward to LA in 2028

Long as these people do a PB at the Olympics then imo they’ve earned their place. If they go backwards against their own mark what the hell are they doing there !

Like my old cricket coach used to say, start your innings by batting to reach your average, and then go from there.

Conditions such as Wether etc can play a part in that

Yeah 2 weeks of yanks blowing their trumpet can't bloody wait

Yep, or uncomfortable sleeping arrangments. The hype in the athletes village would be difficult to negotiate as well and dont underestimate the crowds....Tokyo saw lots of WR's set with no crowds present.

Id be more worried about the political climate there by 2028.
Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon will be coming to the end of his presidential term...hopefully they can behave themselves.

Yes a fantastic effort and Japan only just pipped us at the post for 3rd with 2 gold medals in the wrestling on the very last day.

I’m really gonna miss this thread. It’s been great for 2 weeks to actually be part of supporting a winning team instead of having to endure the constant failure of our chosen rugby league team. The olympics has been a welcome distraction from the pain of supporting the Tigers.

Looks like Ray-Gunn gunna be cashing in on her unco-dorkiness if her viral popularity is anything to go by... Good on her anyway... Great attitude.

And goodonya Vinnie for this awesome thread I've enjoyed these Olympics thanks to my insomnia... And I've enjoyed this thread 🥇

Anna Meares made a goose of herself trying to defend “Raygun” by crapping on about misogyny and gender inequality.
Just shut up, she was shit and everyone had a laugh. She’s going to cash in on it…good on her. Doesn’t need to be politicised.

We've had another Bradbury moment for the bronze in the Keiran

The Bradbury Bronze.
Him and his Mrs seemed very happy he finally got a medal for his perseverance.
It was good to see.
