Ignore Ian's stupid comment, the vid is pretty hilarious lmao. Kinda feel sorry for that Aussie because every breakdancer I saw was just as terrible.

I'm still waiting for the big reveal that the whole thing, including the overly serious official rebuking from the ausie team, blaming the patriarchy is some sort of elaborate hoax type performance art.

So Team SA finishes with 6 medals. Not a bad haul, probably our average for Olympics in general. Well done!

Closing ceremony was pretty classy except for the 592 Evil Knievel's

Oh looks like last night I only missed that final song and the goosebumps moment fireworks finale. Awesome stuff.

I particularly liked the bit where all the demons came up from hell and saved the world with the Olympics.

Very nice of them.

Top 10 Moments from the Paris Olympics

So for the 2028 Olympics, breakdancing and maybe even boxing will be dropped. Not sure about boxing yet but breakdancing is def out.

Flag football and squash will both make their debuts and baseball, softball, lacrosse and cricket will all make their comebacks. Lacrosse was last in the Olympics in 1908 and cricket in 1900. Baseball, softball and cricket don't belong in the Olympics imo but what do I know...

Skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing will become permanent Olympic sports.

Apparently like American football i think but instead of tackling you try and take another guy's flag or something like that.

Basically sissified American football

Ah, their touch rugby version. I'm assuming cricket will be T20? As if the plethora of T20 WCs isn't already enough.
