Olympics Tokyo 2021 - sport

Is seven showing any footy the next couple of weeks? I heard their ad on radio earlier and I’m sure it said that they were showing the olympics on 7, 7Two and 7Mate
According to the electronic guide on my TV, they’re showing the Port game on Friday. After that you may have to hunt around their various platforms.
 
Matildas off to a good start 2-0 up at half time against the Kiwi's. Sam Kerr scored with a cracking header.

Further good news, Sweden flogged the USA 3-0.

The Matildas have a tough group USA, Sweden and the Kiwis, need to finish top 2 to progress.

Just heard on ESPN that 70% of Japanese people do not consider the Olympics can be held safely and are therefore largely against it. Big companies e.g. Toyota are pulling their Olympic ads. No crowds ?

Love the Olympics but this is a bit of faux one.

Yep I have almost no interest
 
Brisbane 2032 Olympics.

Can't believe 2000 was long ago.
Different time, great event, was there for last 9 days. Going to all sort of random events, but you miss all the sports you would see if watching at home. I was at weightlifting (theatre at its best) the night Freeman ran, luckily it was on after the lifts were done and before the medal presentation so they played it on the screen, auditorium went nuts.
 
I'm really looking forward to the weightlifting. I love the intensity of it.
It's what I call a pure sport.... lift the weight or you don't. Virtually no umpiring influence on outcome. But plenty of psychology in terms of choosing what weight to go for, when to pass etc.
(and yes I know the purity doesn't extend to what they sprinkle on their muesli)

track and field is the main event in the olympics.
weight lifting, gymnastics, diving and swimming are big events also
the rest - meh.
 
There are others Harry. Modern pentathlon was great 4 years ago. Watched Chloe Esposito win gold coming from well back with the running and shooting to go. The sheer joy and elation she showed still gives me chills. Not sure if she is defending her title as she had a child last year? Unexpected golds are always fun.
 
Synchronised swimming - Those nose pegs baby!
Would like to see one of them do the make-up in non-waterproof. The pegs and the panda eyes would be next level crack ho.
