Listening to an aussie with American accent win the skateboard

I wonder why teenage skateboarding is an Olympic event.

They needed to fill, and Tony hawk has games and this the Olympic games so why not?

I still mandate that skateboarding should have gone straight into taekwondo and straight into fencing as a triathlon sport.

"Cool tricks" into "beat the other bloke with your board" and "now with precision!" you can even have a mock stubby in the other hand during fencing and bonus points if you can take a sip and maintain balance and form.

It hurts just watching

7.30 in the morning in Tokyo - 28C, 70+% humidity - and still only halfway through the women's marathon!!!

Woke up to bronze in javelin! If only she got that last piece of steak

It's the most passive-aggressive sport of all time.

It looks like they've eaten week old prawns and are trying to find a public toilet.

Stuff the javelin - how did Greg go?

Trying to make the Olympic relevant to the young folks. It lost popularity in recent years and more likely to bankrupt a country than benefit it.

So that's why QLD wanted it soo badly, way too much money over here and so they're doing a national service, what a state!

Can't wait for the crocodile wrestling event and the "attempt to pinch Katters hat" trek.

Happy the USA got the most gold. Am i allowed to say that out loud?

Average spent per medal would be more interesting.

I just hope we don’t have a repeat of the chicken dance from the commonwealth games.
