Summer Olympics 2024

The greatest tennis player in history Novak Djokovic completed the only missing piece in his career. He became the oldest player to reach a final at the age of 37 and win the Olympic gold medal. This performance against the 21-year-old Alcaraz, who will perhaps dominate the new era, is really impressive. I'm very happy for Novak. As tennis fans we are lucky to be the generation that can watch him live.

Djokovic has solidified his status as one of the GOATS of Tennis by winning an Olympic gold against Carlos Alcaraz and it turned out to be one heck of a finale with both sets going to the Serbian in the tie-break.

I do feel sad for Carlos since I was supporting him, but he will get many more opportunities to win an Olympic gold in the future which is why he will probably bounce back pretty quickly.

Italy defeated Turkey 3-0 in the formal match in women's volleyball at the Olympic Games, in which both teams had previously been guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals.
The match may be a formality, but in the match where the Turkish National Team could not show any presence, they lost the first set 25-14, the second set 25-16 and the last set 25-21. Although they showed some resistance only in the last set, they lost the match 3-0. The Turkish team did not show any hope for the upper rounds, but maybe there was a lack of concentration. I will follow what they will do in the next round.

Turkey's loss to Italy wasn't a surprise. Italy has been really good at the Olympics and looks like a real threat. But let's break down what really went wrong for Turkey. Their pressure on Vargas was way too high. If your star player doesn't do their job, the whole team falls apart. Wake up, Turkey, and change up your game plan. They should not put all their eggs in one box. Don't forget that they did well against the Dominican Republic, so there is hope. Their game just needs to be more steady and smarter. Our loss serves as a wake-up call. Turkey needs to step up their game if they want to keep in the championship race

The Philippines just won its second gold in gymnastics courtesy of Carlos Yulo. He did it first in artistic gymnastics and again in the men's vault.
Prior to Hidilyn Diaz winning gold in the 2020 Olympics, we had a 100-year drought. Now, the Philippines has the potential to add more gold as there are still three hopefuls: two in boxing and one in the high jump.
The Philippines is now leading the medal haul in the South East; the Philippines has really come a long way. 

FYI, Men’s Vault is just a category on Artistic Gymnastics. I think you mean Floor Exercise since this is the category which he gets his first Gold medal.

There’s 3 Category on AG which is All around, Vault and Floor which Yulo manage to enter on the final round and won 2 of them which is insane achievement since each Category requires different focus in the body.

We still have few top contender for gold especially on boxing now that we have sure bronze.

In this era, we have witnessed lots of great sportsmen and women that have dominated the various sports that they are involved in, and we that are alive to witness their careers made are really fortunate because the story will be told about them long into the future, and to us, it will not just be a story, but a period and season that we experienced.

Congratulations to Novak Djokovic, it would have been a sad thing had he not won. To Alcaraz, the future remains bright for him.

Today, when I had some free time I tried to follow the Olympics. The men's 1500 meters swimming race was pretty good. Bobby Finke set a world record. Our 16-year-old representative Kuzey Tunçelli finished 5th in the race. We expect a medal from him in the next Olympics.
In the 4x100 meter medley, China won the gold medal. In the women's race, USA broke the world record and won the gold medal. It's incredible that new records are set every Olympics. People are evolving more and more every day.

Right, Djokovic has cemented his legacy with a big win against a young Carlos Alcaraz. He has complicated the golden slam. And this match is a good one, the oldest vs the youngest and we can say that experience is still the king here.

However, I would say that this could be Djokovic's last Olympics as he would be 40+ in the next four years. And with that, I think Alcaraz has a great chance in the next, not this time though, as this is Djokovic's time to shine.

I've just see the 3 semifinals for the 100m men.
We have 4 runnes that can go under 9.80.
It will be probably the second fastest 100m in the history after the Usain Bolt era.

Don't miss it or you will regret.

Djokovic completed tennis - Olympic gold was only missing trophy. It was final to remember, even tough it was decided in 2 sets. Both of them winning their own serves and both sets ending with tie break. Happy for Djokovic, while for Alcaraz everything is still ahead

The Serbian racket knows no rivals and I can say that he is the best ever for Djakovic. We watched a good final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz and of course the winner was Djokovic. There was a historical final match in the Paris Grans Slim final, one was the youngest player and the other was the oldest player, the experienced old Djokovic did not let the young player pass. Paris was a very productive experience for Alcaraz.

She still has chances to win 1 more right ?

There are still two events remaining for Simone Biles. One will be the balance beam and the other one will be floor exercise. Both will take place tomorrow.
Simone Biles should have a big chance to win two more medals. She was ranked first at floor exercise qualification and second at balance beam qualification.

Also, i'm strongly supporting Simone Biles as my favorite person to win this medal come tomorrow, and which between the floor exercise and the balance beam games, she's more skilled at performing in the floor exercise than she does in the balance beam this olympic tournament, Therefore I believe that when it comes to floor exercise, this is where she's most likely will have another golden opportunity to take home with her another gold medal. But if at last she is able to win the two medals, then that would be an amazing thing to do.

Petty Officer Senior Sergeant Yusuf Dikeç
No special glasses, no headphones, hands in his pockets and he won the silver medal. He left his mark on the Olympics with this style and stance and will be remembered for a long time.
Congratulations...

Everyone is talking about him on social media. He has suddenly become very popular. I read a statement that he gave to the press today. He describes himself as a natural athlete. He thinks that if people compete with their individual talents, it makes the sport more meaningful. I think he has a great philosophy. It reminded me of Far Eastern philosophies. I think races where everyone has equal conditions would be more meaningful. Some equipment is better than other equipment. And some equipment puts talent in the background. I think Yusuf Dikeç is right about this.

The Olympic quarterfinal pairings have been announced.

Serbia-Australia
Brazil-USA
Germany-Greece
France-Canada

USA has the easiest quarterfinal match. USA will win this match very easily.

The other matches are really even, let's see which countries will reach the semifinals.

Damn, men 100m final was even better than I expected. It was such equal run that photo finish was needed to decide winner - Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson had equal time 9.79. It's persinal best result for Lyles and it was rewarded with gold.
Women high jump final was a bit disappointing. Yaroslava Mahuchikh didn't faced much competition, only Nicola Olyslagers reached 2.00m. Mahuchikh also was far from her World Record 2.10, just 2.00 from first attempt was enough to take gold

[coinlocket$]

I was expecting a better time for the final of 100m men, something like 9.75 or less.
But the final was good anyway.

I think it is the 1st time in the history where the gold and second place got only a difference of half of one cent of a second crazy.

Timers got faster in the last year since they use high tech shoes.

Simone Biles is seriously something else. She keeps winning gold after gold at this Olympics despite her issues in the Tokyo Olympics and has solidified her status as one of the GOATS of artistic gymnastics.

On the other hand, we have Katie Ledecky who keeps dominating 800m freestyle and has solidified her status as the best US female Olympian so far. Titmus tried hard, but the gap between them was pretty evident. Legends!

If Simone didn't have that set back in Tokyo she would indisputable be the goat but even still not only the Olympics but the world's amd every other major tourny for the last 8-10 years she has just killed it.  She gets 2 more shots tomorrow to add to her legacy.  Same with ledecky, she said she is coming back for the 2028 games so she will likely end up at least for the US women's swing team the GOAT, which she already is

Hello everyone.
In my opinion, this Olympics is not as interesting as it used to be, but the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has slightly warmed up the interest in this event.
My only bet, which was before the start of the Olympics, is the gold of the Ukrainian Khizhnyak in boxing, today he won in the semi-finals and soon the final awaits him.

[ChiBitCTy]

Thought I’d add a photo of the current Olympic medal count.  Obviously just posting the top 10 here. China and the United States currently in that lead for total number of gold medals. Both also having quite a few “overall” medals.

It’s been a really fun summer Olympics so far. I do wish we’d have another great sprinter like Bolt to make track and field a bit more exciting, but..we may not have anyone challenging Bolts 100 and 200M records anytime even remotely soon.

Over it’s been fun!

Funny how and this has already been joked around for a while now, that the ones our sports committee pay little to no mind about, are the ones that are giving us golds and silvers all around. Basketball on the other hand while being funded and supported like crazy, couldn't even perform against B-list countries who didn't even have that much care nor love about the sport as much as Pinoys do. Goes to show just how stupid people are in this country.

In any case, not posting this to take away at the success of Carlos Yulo and the folks who really gave us a chance to be noticed in the Olympics, and as far as I know they are getting much deserved praise and love from our government recently. So good for them.

They did the same time 9.79, the queen event in athletics and perhaps one of the most anticipated, Gold! had the winner in the States, recovering the gold medal after 20 years, in the Olympic games.

5 thousandths decided the gold medal winner.   

And in the athletics extra, the mixed 4x400, incredible finish by the Dutch athlete, one of the most exciting competitions so far, well the queen (100m) event was so good, but it only lasts about 10 seconds... 

Well done Holland, there is a very popular user of this board gambling from that country, congratulations to him too,,,
