OT 2021 Olympics in Jeopardy

[ehizzy3]

I’m putting this in the main forum since Dame was practically a lock to be on the roster. He was going to be the first Blazer to make an Olympic team since Clyde. Melo had probably been in his ear telling him what a great experience it is.



It’s on my bucket list to attend the Summer Olympics in another country. Maybe 2024 in Paris

Not good for @THE HCP . Was supposed to be working basketball in Tokyo LAST summer and had a contract for THIS summer....... Bro, I'm losing so much money.

Nice find! You went WAAAAAAAY back into the archives son.

I just feel so bad for the kids who have been training for years and now it's not going to happen. And this might have been their only chance.

 

[MARIS61]

Somebody still cares about the Olympics?

With the death of Alex Trebek, I don't think we ought to send our Jeopardy contestants to the Olympics...

My life has been wasted. I've been throwing this javelin spear around in the back yard for 8 years, and now this.

This skill could still be useful in your quest to find Bigfoot in Bellingham

Steve Smith was on the 2000 gold medal team while on the Blazers.

Wow, poll results heavily in favor of summer olympics. I assume that's probably due to American dominance in the summer olympics, or maybe because basketball is available and other team sports. Gymnastics is always a crowd pleaser. I picked winter olympics primarily because of Hockey. There is more competition internationally for Hockey vs. basketball. The medal race is always a bit more dynamic. Also, you still have all the figure skating, speed skating, and skiing events. But I like both of them.

I'm glad you like them, and I don't want to change your mind, but....
imho, judged sports suck even more than highly refereed sports. So, I'm not a fan of skating, and the networks HIGHLIGHT skating.

best player out of Australia ever.......Shane Heal!!!! That dude was tough as nails!

 

[tlongII]

Bogut is the best Aussie player ever.

Negatory......Heal took on the Dream Team all by himself and lit them up! Squared off with Barkley, he was a beast!

North Korea drops out of Tokyo Olympics over COVID fears

Pyongyang’s announcement puts end to Seoul’s hopes of using Tokyo Games to trigger a reset in deadlocked talks.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Move the games to Oregon and limit the fans. They can play soccer and basketball in Portland, Gymnastics in Corvallis, Track and Field in Eugene.
How big is the pool at the Mac club?
