Summer Olympics 2024

The most viral photo of the Paris Olympics so far has been this spectacular shot taken in Tahiti. The image, taken by Jerome Brouillet for AFP, features Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina. The Brazilian surfer struck a spectacular pose in the third round of the Men's Shortboard to celebrate not only his victory but also his new Olympic record. Medina, who has 3 world titles and was immortalized second by second as he glided off the wave, rode through a huge wave in the fifth heat of the day that earned him a near perfect score of 9.90, an Olympic record. Medina struck a spectacular pose in mid-air to celebrate not only his victory but also his new Olympic record.

Looks like Great Britain and France ended up winning gold at men's and women's triathlon events which were successful events despite all the pollution concerns. France and USA have the most medals so far in the games, but France have more golds.

Medina struck a spectacular pose in mid-air to celebrate not only his victory but also his new Olympic record.

Yeah. I saw that pic recently and was amazed by it. The photographer deserves an Olympic medal for that photo.

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games surfing competition is an interesting event happening off the coast of Teahupo. The village, which is located on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, is known for its dangerous, heavy, and powerful waves. When I saw this iconic picture, I thought it was AI-generated, only to read later that it was a master shot. According to Jerome Brouillet, it was a perfect combination of preparation, devotion, timing, some experience and a touch of luck. Gabriel Medina has even posted the picture on Instagram, and it has gained more than 5.7 million likes. Besides the actions from the tournament, we also expect to see iconic pictures that will last for many generations.

I saw the performance made by Chinese Pan saying that it is incredible it is little to see that it grew on very intense bread and workouts it is true that it presented itself with the world record made to the Doha World Championships but still an incredible performance and already shouting At the scandal for doping that I am, I must also make the Compliemnti to David Popovici, the young phenomenon of Bucharest who however has conquered a big medal!

Welcome to Olympic 2024 my great great grandfather had a tea cup from the '90s olympics and it looks awesome. But to be honest I just rarely know about current olympic there is a news that opening ceremony is not good enough or have some conspiracy theory behind it.

But I wish good luck to all people, especially my country Indonesia I just hope they bring more gold medals this time in badminton and martial art

Indonesia still not gets any medal from the current Olympics but they had gold medal tradition from Badminton because almost every events they can able to gets gold medal from this sport and currently still group phase which for Men’s Singles Indonesia has Anthony Ginting and Jonatan Christie but their performance were dissapointing because few hours ago they had just lost from their opponents and this makes them were eleminate early and failed to advances to round of 16 because only gets 1 win from 2 games

For Women’s Singles Gregoria Tunjung has successfully to advances to the round of 16 after on the second game she can able to overcomes Czech Republic athlete Tereza Svabikova with 2 set in a row and this result makes her finish as the champion of group G and Gregoria opponent for round of 16 is Kim Ga-eun and i am confident Gregoria will be able to win this match because previously Gregoria has good results while met Kim Ga-eun because from 8 meeting total Gregoria always be win

To be honest, this year Olympics in Paris didn't really impress me, especially the opening ceremony which looked very standard compared to previous Olympics, Previously I had hoped that paris would give a lot of impression at this year Olympics but in fact there weren't many surprises happening, currently it looks like Indonesia We haven't been able to do much at the Olympics, so far we haven't even won a single medal in various sporting events, badminton and weightlifting haven't given us medals at the moment although previously we always used badminton and weightlifting as a mainstay to win gold or silver medals, but for now, I think many countries are also starting to develop rapidly in the sport of badminton, making it difficult for Indonesia to win medals,  so far Indonesia only has two representatives left in badminton Gregoria Mariska Tunjung (women singles) in the round of 16, and also Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto (men doubles) in the quarterfinals.
I personally hope that at least the men's doubles will bring home 1 medal even though it's a little difficult if you look at the opponents they faced in the quarterfinals.

Turkey left its mark on the day in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team. Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç attracted everyone's attention with his shot in the final. He was perhaps the model for one of the most iconic and coolest photos of the 2024 Paris Olympics. In this category, where all athletes use a lot of equipment, he looked very good with his glasses that he uses in his daily life and his hand in his pocket. Yusuf Dikeç and Şevval İlayda Tarhan, who hit the target very well without any difficulty, won the silver medal

They were our pride. As the Turkish people, we really liked Yusuf Dikeç's fight. I should also say that he was a soldier in the Turkish army. We won a medal in air pistol shooting for the first time in the Olympics and everyone was very happy at the end of the day. I wish we had won the gold medal but we were still proud. Next up is Mete Gazoz's gold medal fight in the male individual archery and I hope he wins it.

Impressive stuff by Pen! He literally gave no chance to anyone to catch him and I was more than impressed with his swimming style and how clean it was. David Popovic is just 19 years old and already clinched 2 medals of Paris with 1 gold and 1 bronze and still have slight chances to conquer 1 more but as a Romanian , I'm very happy with his performances from last years and it no coincidence that Popovic is slowly but surely starting to dominate the swimming contest.

Don't watch Olympics, find it boring but keeping track of it through social media. So far two moments caught my eye — First one being, Lakhshya Sen's back handed shot and other is not exactly related to game but it's about some Indian companies taking advantage of Manu Bhaker as their advertising material without sponsoring her.

Pure gangsta, if you asked me, Lol, this guys without ahead head gear or any special lens and yet he won the silver medal. Just imagine if he has that kind of gadgets that others have, he could have won the gold medal easy.

And there is this Korean women as well and from what I read, she has the teddy bear in his other hand from his kids to keep her calm.

How about the Chinese, South and North Korean taking a selfie?

https://time.com/7005793/north-south-korea-table-tennis-selfie-sports-diplomacy/

Isn't it dangerous though for the North Korean team to posed with their South Korean compatriots? I mean we all know what North Korean government is, and most likely with the athletes associating themselves with the other side, they could be in serious trouble when they go back to North Korean or at least their families as well as the government might think that they are going to go on the other side, just saying.

For Yusuf Dikeç, yeah that is really cool to see him winning the Silver, just shooting as it should be. No special glasses and gear to have some kind of advantage or make it easy to shoot the target.

Türkiye Women's Volleyball team beat the Dominican Republic 3-1 today and advanced to the quarterfinals.

I watched most of the match and only Türkiye lost the first set, they won the other 3 sets very easily.
Let's see who our opponent will be in the quarterfinals.

When I first saw this guy and this picture, I though that it was just a regular guy who was passing by shooting range. Just a guy who loves shooting after work from time to time. He simply changed his shirt to Turkish tshirt and decided to participate. This hand in the pocket shows that he wasnt hoping to get a high results, or indicates a huge professionalism. Most important, that this guy isnt young, his sight isnt perfect anymore, yet he manages to be very precise at shooting. Imagine him being younger, he would have taken gold easily.

Yesterday Caio Bonfim from Brazil (the country where I live) won an unprecedented silver medal in race walking. He is in his fourth Olympics, a sign that perseverance can indeed bring results... A curious fact is that Caio is trained by his own mother Gianette Bonfim, 8 times Brazilian champion... and Gianette was trained by João Sena, her husband and Caio's father... the whole family trained themselves... nice, right?

Damn, what an epic match between Kostyuk and Vekic, almost hours of fight and winner decided in tie-break. Vekic goes to semifinal where she will face biggest surprise of tournament Schmiedlova. In other semifinal Zheng will play with Swiatek.

Being Croatian, I lost a few years of my life watching that match, especially during the tie break. At the beginning of the 3rd set, I was sure Donna was going to lose it (I even put some money on it), but luckily, she somehow managed to win. I just hope she has enough time to recover for the tonight's match vs Schmiedlova.

If I can recall correctly, they were celebrating together during 2016 Olympic Games as well so its safe to assume nothing is gonna happen to them. Unless some of those from North decide to defect to South Korea. 

[TopTort777]

Pretty funny to see France getting so many medals only in first 8 days of Olympic games, when they got almost same amount during whole Olympic Games in 2020. United States are performing bad this year. Only 6 gold medals, when on previous games they have got 39, and it is only athletics left, when they are super strong at. It is either they get more gold next days when swimming is still on, or they wont win this Olympics.

Yes, and If I'm not mistaken, the North and South Koreans could have been playing under one banner during the 2016 or 2020 Olympics. So it's not that surprised to see the two having a selfie in this age and hopefully the North Koreans will not take his matter seriously to their athletes. And then know the consequences of defecting to the other side, their families are  going to suffer or maybe worst is death.

@TopTort77 - based on observation, the host country usually won a lot of medals and maybe some of them becoming the number one. So we shouldn't be surprised that France is taking a lot of golds right now.

I know that, but that is actually funny, because participating at home, and "knowing stadium, track and etc" only gives advantage in few disciplines. However judges still give a little extra attention and advantage to host country, even though they are international.

Has anyone heard any scandals? I havent googled it, but it is pretty much silence about it, except opening ceremony.

Congratulations...

It's really a remarkable history, although this is the first time for me to see him, but when I check on his Instagram https://www.instagram.com/yusufdikecofficial/?locale=us&hl=am-et

He's joined shooting competition with this style in 2023, but not really sure why it was not viral like now.

Another one shooter that went viral is from Korea, her stance is really badass like a main character of movies or stories.

His attitude was very relaxed and he won the silver medal, that's why he became popular.
If the result had been negative, if he had not received a medal etc., he would have received serious criticism in Turkey.
Since the result was positive, he has now been declared a charismatic hero, but if it had been negative, he would have been lynched on social media saying, "Who would have chosen this man and disgraced us to the world?"
The reason it went viral is nothing more than the fact that it won a silver medal.
