Anyone watching? I am proud my country won gold medal in air pistol shooting mixed couple. It was a really hard game against Turkey.

I'm not watching the Olympics but I'm happy that your country achieved some success!

I watched the Olympics the other day when the swimming competition was on, but I’m not watching it today.

Congratulations to your country for winning the gold medal!

I haven't really been keeping up with the Olympics, I've never really have. Congrats to your country winning gold!

There is a big news yesterday when transwoman "defeted" a woman. Match lasted less than a minute because woman decided to quit saying "I was never being hit this hard in my life" clearly unhappy with letting biological man fight her.

I can't believe this is being promoted on and on. Women are losing their medals and they do nothing about it. Of course everybody condemns it (the transwoman). Give those people their own category. Stop destroying women's life struggle and training to fail winning medal due to such.. No words.

She's not a trans woman though. She is from Algeria, where it's a criminal offense to be LGBT. There's no way they would have let her compete in the Olympics, she would be behind bars if she was trans. It's anti-trans fear mongering from people who didn't do proper research on the subject, which most anti-trans people never do proper research on the subject. They want a reaction, they get one and this never ending cycle of ignorance and hate continues. Women aren't losing their medals, this woman lost against Imane because she forfeited and she only one a silver metal. Imane has been competing for years and has won a few gold medals, she's just a better boxer. We should be more worried on the fact that a pedophile is allowed to compete in the Olympics than a woman who may not be as feminine as other women winning a medal.

We lost against Latvia but won against Polan. We are second place so far which is good. 😀

Olympics isn't as hyped as I thought it would be, I only saw snips and heard what gold or silver the UK might end up getting. However, I'm dealing with my own things at the moment.

Anyone seen that crazy "break dancer" from Australia? Who allowed her to compete in the Olympics?

Australian Olympian 'Raygun' went viral for her breakdancing moves. Now, she's defending them.

The 2024 Paris Olympics debuted breaking (aka breakdancing) as a competition sport. One Australian competitor, "Raygun," became a viral meme.

I'm not sure how I missed this topic, but I watched plenty of the Olympics. It was something to have playing in the background that I could somewhat pay attention to. I really enjoyed watching the basketball. Both men's and women's.
