Today I learnt it is the Olympics soon. Excellent stuff, I am sure we will win a load of gold medals and reward our athletes handsomely.

Supersport usually shows the schedules for all events with South Africans on their website every day. Hopefully again this year.

Never had a problem, used Windscribe and controld.

Have the issue with free Windscribe on "London Custard", if I try "London Crumpets" it accuses me of not being a resident :-/
No others in UK available free.

The Surfing is in Tahiti, WTF

SURFING

While surfing will be an event at Paris 2024, it won’t be in Paris. It will take place on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia which is known for its testing waves.

Scoring is done by five judges on a scale of one to ten. For each wave, the highest and lowest scores from the judges are discarded and the average is taken from the remaining three scores.

The scoring criteria are degree of difficulty, innovative and progressive manoeuvres, variety of manoeuvres, combinations as well as speed, power and flow.

Brazilian Italo Ferreira won the first men’s gold medal at Tokyo 2020 but won’t defending his title. American Carissa Moore was the women’s gold medallist and will be competing again in Paris.

Surfing provided South Africa with one of their three medals in Tokyo with Bianca Buitendag coming home with silver. She won’t be competing at these Games but the nation will be represented by Jordy Smith who missed out on competing at the last Games through injury.
