A thread to discuss the Paris Olympic games.

Good start for some of our more favoured team sports:
Men's Basketball Australia 92 - 80 Spain
Men's Hockey Australia 1 - 0 Argentina (the only goal here was from a penalty corner right on half time!)

Men's Rugby Sevens semi final at midnight vs Fiji, France vs South Africa at 11:30

Rugby semi final Aust v Fiji at midnight tonight, bronze playoff at 3am and Gold medal at 3.45am.

Early days so far, but I’m finding the coverage far more balanced from a world view perspective.
C7 coverage over the last few games bordered on being jingoistic. Terrible sports coverage.
Well see once the swimming starts and whether that excludes all other sports and countries.

That Badminton match between China and Indonesia was pretty epic, close as it gets.
