Paris Olympics 2024

Is anyone watching the Olympics? If so, what country do you go for and is there a particular sport you watch?

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

I haven’t watched but do you know if you can watch the paralympics anywhere?

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

My grandma and grandpa watch most of the events in the summer and Winter Olympics .for summer Olympics I am only interested in the woman gymnastics, and all of the diving. Gymnastics started today I believe but diving doesn’t start for a couple of days.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

I enjoy watching Women Olympics, I always have enjoyed that event since I was young. I just found out Simon Billes is almost 30! D:

I didn't know it was allowed to compete in the Olympics at that age; but ageism is a pretty shitty thing to do so good for Ms. Billes! :hug:

I think a lot of times, elite gymnasts chose to retire early, I don't believe the Olympics has an age limit, it depends on the Sports Federation for each country, who finalize the team that goes to the Olympics. I remember reading that for the shooting events, participants have been well in their 70s, but that's from from a really long time ago, I think.

I do follow the Olympics and try to watch those events where my country is participating (Not going to name it for privacy reasons).

I also have some sportspersons who I absolutely love, so I am hoping to catch their games, if possible.
Sha'Carri Richardson, Andre De Grasse, US Women's Gymnast Team, Ariarne Titmus, Katie Ledecky are some of them.

There is no age limit in the Olympics. The youngest athlete this year is 11 and it’s a skate boarder, the oldest is 69 and they are doing equestrian. However most people do quit gymnastic around 24 I believe just because of how hard it is on your body and everything. Gabby Douglas is in the Olympics again this year and she is 29 two years older then Simone.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

We love watching the Olympics everytime they are on, they have so many sports to see and they are amazing. USA is who we always want to win. We also love it when we see people from different countries and they win a medal for the first time, it's lovely to see how happy and excited they are. I think everyone should win medals.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

I didn't fully watched the Olympics this year. I really liked what the Corea did on springboard dive. Was amazing !

I can't imagine the strict routine the athletes would have to follow on a regular basis. :?
