My co-worker's son is also riding for USA, Cam Wood. He's originally from Montana and now rides out of Phoenix.

Here is a video of his journey. Pretty awesome. We will be cheering for Cam and Daleny!

He’s a rad guy. Like most of the bmx pros, they are so good with the kids in the sport!

I think I liked it better when it was for Amateur competitors. Even though sometimes our College kids were playing against full grown adults. We won alot of medals back then. I think it meant more.

PS: Up yours LeBron !

Train disruption is probably just the beginning.

Fun Fact: In 2028 the games come to Los Angeles

Between Snoop Dogg and Selma Hayek carrying the torch no thanks. My son's football coach was named the national youth football coach of the year last year, yes that means he beat out every other coach in the nation. He should have carried it before them.

This is awesome, good for you Riley

Anything Team USA and I’m watching. As it stands, I still think only the best of the best go regardless of race, color, heritage, etc etc. Hopefully it stays that way.
I’ll disagree to extent. Teams sports don’t pick the best or those deserving. They pick by ratings.
Perfect example is Over aged La butthead.

I’ll watch or browse. But the whole Olympic atmosphere is gone for me.

The Olympics are all about the competition, not the ceremonies. I can’t wait.

Un fucking believable.
And this was part of the Olympic ceremonies?
Seriously? Please tell me
That didn’t really happen?
Does a single one of those things even have a basic clue of Leonardo and the significance of one his most iconic renderings?
I’m sorry, my mind is totally blown away that this happened.
You’ve got America haters kneeling, you’ve got
America hating spoiled rich activists carrying our flags, you’ve got this shit, and through all of this Snoop is the normal American?
Thanks. Any idea I might have had about watching any of
This is gone.
Is that purple haired hater still playing soccer?

This exactly why I won't watch the shit they are pushing fuck them all!!
I feel sorry for the athletes that bust their ass and are proud Americans but I'm out just like NFL and most professional sports. Fuck the wokeness and the global agenda!!!!!!

Also I thought there was no more men in women's sports in the Olympics?? Brittany whatever he's called, they should have let him rot in Russia fuck anyone who kneels during anthem!!!!!

Tried watching the opening ceremonies. The boat thing was a fail. Lady Gaga’s performance was pretty bad. Turned it off and watched some golf channel. 😁. Looking forward to watching some swimming/volleyball later. Won’t hold it against the athletes.

Sad part is the athletes get the collateral damage, not fair to them to get their dream hijacked.

I watched a little bit of the opening ceremony just cause I like how they used the river and boats to bring in the delegations. The smaller countries on the pontoons were hilarious though!

Btw, if you have the peacock app, that's the way to watch! You can choose any sport you want to watch that is live or the replays of such.

C-Spire just pulled all ad revenue from the Olympics

Telecommunications company C Spire has removed all advertising from the Olympics after they mocked Christianity in their opening ceremony.

C Spire is the sixth-largest wireless provider in the United States.

"We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics,"

I think it was Ledecky's mom who said, "If I only had one day to live, I'd go to a swim meet because they last forever".
My sons just finished up their 17 year swimming careers. 4 year D1 athletes. Swimming is a brutal sport. 2-3 workouts per day, 6 days a week, 50 weeks per year.

We watch the opening ceremony with friends. We will have French food. LOL

Mostly we make fun of the stupid outfits and check out the hot chicks. Have some silly grub and drink a lot. It's hilarious.

Many of the games are interesting to watch, but I really don't see breakdancing or tumbling with a ribbon on a stick as a worthy Olympic sport.
You're having fries and toast?

What does this have to do with the Olympics and why would they even include this in the opening ceremonies, it’s just dumb imo.

Not the athletes fault though, and our country didn’t host or put those dumb displays up.

That crossed my mind also.

But...

The Olympic Committee Had to have approved this disgusting mockery, yeah?

Fuck em.
