2032 Olympics

[Bruce Caulley]

Ahoy!
So Brisbane was just announced as host of the 2032 Olympics.  Guess this means 10 years of roadworks ahead lol.
 Sitting on the fence as to whether this is a good thing or not.

Cheers
Bruce

i've been to a few cities that have hosted (just got back from Lake Placid) and a lot of times it's pretty sad what becomes of all the construction from the games after it's over

[Here's Johnny!]

The old statement regarding the Olympics

Build (preparing)....Boom (during the games)....Bust (dept and useless buildings afterwards)!

[Jeff]

And higher taxes to pay for it.

my projection is that if the "wokeness" continues the olympic games will be irrelevant by that time.

Is it your fear that the next gold medalist in women's track may be won by the female athlete formerly known as Bruce?

They probably are for a lot of people, I'm partial to the Winter games, the summer games I couldn't care less to watch, with the exception of a couple of events.

Olympic athletes should be paid. Until they are, I won't bother watching.

It's all good until Bruce and his buddy... er, girlfriend Andy join the team.

sorry but the Zeus variant will be here by then, your doomed

The Olympics are all about national pride and the celebration of the dedication of the athletes. They aren't all anti-American pieces of uselessness like Megan Rapinoe. It's sad that the modern media climate tends to spotlight the bad seeds. Today we will celebrate the good.

We are still blessed as a nation with athletes who are there for the pure joy of competition and the honor of representing their country.

The United States can celebrate athletes like gymnast Simone Biles, who may very well be the most brilliant athlete in her sport ever. When asked why she attempts vaults that are so dangerous she replied, "Because I can."

Cocky is as cocky does.

My favorite American athlete of these games is Sydney McLaughlin. I've always been a huge USA Track and Field fan but that allegiance grew stronger when my daughter became a collegiate runner. She was visiting me the weekend of the USA Track and Field qualifying meet and that made it all the more special. Our favorite race was the Women's 400-meter hurdles. The two best women in the history of the event — Dalilah Muhammad and Sydney McLaughlin — are running for the U.S. #KruiserKid and I went nuts watching McLaughlin shatter the world record set by Muhammad. When interviewed after the race, McLaughlin gave all the glory to God.

Bryan and I hadn't talked about it but he latched on to Sydney McLaughin's story too.

Forget the posturing losers. Let's remember the athletes who do it all for the right reasons.

Paid by whom?  With who's money?
