Zverev lost his QF to Musetti.

 

Another Djokoraz final loading. 

[Gollum]

Iga really *ed up, can't get an easier draw and chance to win Olympic gold. Great form on clay, PC, no Sabalenka, Rybakina, Osaka knocked out early.

 

Next two, maybe three Olympics will be on hard court.

How the hell Rudd lose to Felix? Rudd is actually decent in clay. Cannot believe this ****.

Ruud is steady eddy though clay is his surface. 

 

FAA has a higher ceiling IMO but total headcase.

@Chaos you not following Olympics?

Simone Biles is just legendary. What a performer at this age, pushed all the way by much younger girls and yet she is the gold standard

Yes, there is a huge hatred against trans people including calling for violence against them and spreading like like they are attacking women in washroom. It's spread by the anti woke crowd. 

There is no such data, you are going by SM trolls. There have many assaults in girls bathrooms by men who wake up and feel like they are different. But maybe that’s an outlier. The main problem is parents losing rights on their children as young as 6 years and the system decides their gender.

Dipa Karmakar competed against peak Simone Biles in Rio Olympics, pulled off a Produnova and finished 4th in the final. Her training gym in Tripura was a makeshift one room building with asbestos roof, she returned a BMW gifted to her because it was impossible to drive that on pothole ridden mud roads in her hometwown. 

 

Still one of the greatest stories in Indian sports.

@coffee_rules what sport are you watching now?

Nole vs Tsitsipas. Rooting for the latter

Do you know who gifted her BMW?

 

Why the * do these rich bastards in India buy sports cars?

 

It's so useless in India. Even in highways, it's not good to go over 120 KMPH and it's always good to have a bigger ground clearance in India.

Dunno who gifted it to her but Sachin Tendulkar presented the keys.

Knee injuries are the worst, absolute career killers. It is what ended Federer's hopes of comeback. Nole's end may be similar, @Real McCoy @I6MTW, watching the tennis?

Yeah it is Sachin. Sachin has always been dumb outside the cricket ground. 

 

Even when he tries to helps, Sachin looks like an idiot.

Usually company gifts these things for publicity and asks some celeb to present the keys. Just a photo op.

Swimming has a ridiculous 34 events. So many medals to be won. 

 

Couple of days back Romania won their first Gold in these games, now first one for Hungary

[coffee_rules]

The Greek is weak

[coffee_rules]

Easy pickings by Djokovic on his serve. Experience 

[Gollum]

Nadal-Alcaraz lost in doubles. 

 

Spain having a horror Olympics after the Euros/tennis highs last month. Just 1 silver and 3 bronzes, apparently have finished 4th in 11 events. And we feel bad for one Arjun Babuata @neel roy

[coffee_rules]

Novak will win this 7-5. No need for tiebreaker. He’s not limping anymore
