2024 Paris Olympics

[Uncle Rico]

How has Simone looked today?

And WTH happened with Gauff?

Ty.

Can't help.  I'm boycotting but we've only won 1 medal today

Can't help.  I'm boycotting but we've only won 1 medal today

Good grief.  We need to kick up the intensity. 

[MU82]

VAMOS!

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Simone looked great and the ladies just won gold!

Simone looked great and the ladies just won gold!

Ugh.  Now she'll be on TV all over the place

[CreightonWarrior]

Just about the textbook definition of taking care of business.

[PGsHeroes32]

Good grief.  We need to kick up the intensity.

We need a medieval arsenal deployed in all competitions

Excellent!!

[Warriors4ever]

Hey Goose best of luck to your cousin!!

[Goose]

Thanks, Warriors4ever. Exciting stuff for my cousin and his family. I did not realize how cool it was to have a family member represent the USA until a few days ago and I have been enjoying getting updates from Paris.

[Uncle Rico]

Excellent!!

We're still in 5th in gold medals.

[tower912]

Under 23 USMNT looked good.  Through to the elimination rounds.

[Warriors4ever]

Goose, tell your cousin there is an entire thread on TripAdvisor Paris forum about craft beer places....

[Warriors4ever]

Women's rugby takes the bronze!

[tower912]

With a finish to end all finishes.

[Warriors4ever]

Yes!

[MuggsyB]

Goose,

Best of luck to your cousin.

This is indeed very cool!  Good luck to you cousin and his family.  And Chick is right...they ought to stick to wine!!

Explain to me why it was offensive.

Not saying that I was offended, just that it apparently was actually a portrayal of the last supper and not Dionysus  according to some performers.

[MU82]

And WTH happened with Gauff?

She fell apart after a disagreement with the umpire. That comes on the heels of her collapse at Wimbledon.

Maybe there's too much pressure on her - from herself or others - and she needs a break.

Or maybe it's just a matter of a young athlete continuing to mature. Seems she's been around forever but she's only 20.

If I read your article, it was according to one performer, not some. A second one is mentioned but they just tweeted a picture of the last supper painting next to an image of the performance.

I do not know who is telling the truth on this. Personally, the Last Supper comparison doesn't make sense to me given that there's no connection between that painting and France or Greece but who knows maybe they shoehorned it in there.

Have played with and against many like her in that you allow something out of your control completely dictate the rest of your match. Hard thing to work past mentally, but when she is in form mentally she is about as good as it gets.

Or maybe because she's woke. Who can be sure these days!

It doesn't really have to make sense does it?  It seems like it can be interpreted many ways even among those who performed it.  It doesn't really matter and any one who ever watched an d enjoyed South Park can't really claim to be offended by it. I mainly shared the article after someone in this thread made a comment in response to something I wrote questioning whether Rocket would admit he was wrong about it being the last supper (or something to that affect...I don't really care to go through old pages to find the original comment).

[rocket surgeon]

Maybe Rocket's not wrong after all. Performers say it was the Last Supper.
