I'm watching the NBC pre-show and I absolutely hate the celebrity angle they're trying to pull. I couldn't give a shit about Ariana Grande, Snoop Dog, or John Legend. It's cheapens the idea of the games for me. This is a stage for the everywomen/men who worked their asses off and proved themselves physically. Why take attention off of them for burger celebrities? I don't want to see anyone who isn't an athlete, coach, or some sports professional giving interviews/attention.
And as for the opening ceremonies, I don't get Lady Gaga or Celine Dion either. Why don't the French take pride in their people and show off local talent?

Small off topic but I speak from experience as someone who had four games of the Euro World cup this summer in my city in Currywurstland. The price of a double bedroom on the days of matches was starting at 250€ the night without breakfast and upwards. I work in the tourism industry, I had to advise people to sleep in towns in a 30km radius where the price don't exceed 100€/night. My former dept. leader had some unofficial talks with the Dehoga (the association for the hotel and gastronomy branch) and told us the hotels were not even at full capacity, they were at 60% capacity (which are percentages you get maybe in March here) because the UEFA has blocked contingency in the hotels that only unblocked ten days before the start of the Soccer cup. They were all led to believe they're going to make bank, the real hotels and touristic cities that profited are the ones in that 30km radius around where I live.

>Small off topic but I speak from experience as someone who had four games of the Euro World cup this summer in my city in CurrywurstlandFour games omg I would have been insane, my city hosted it in several years ago and the entire city was a huge mess for weeks as a result. Never again I hope. What you said about hotels happened more or less the same way in Paris, I've seen videos of hotel owners complaining that they have way less costumers than usual because they're in the grey zone that requires QR codes but their prices were insane.

I get it when countries invite celebrities to advertise olympics for their own public on their own broadcasting channels and etc. (like it happened with US), but when these people, who are completely unrelated to France become a part of the ceremony and are shown on screen for the whole world to see, the integrity of the olympics is lost. It's a disgrace. I mean why should anyone care about the red carpet ceremony that took place an hour before the official opening ceremony, where the majority of these VIPs were not only athletes, but also celebrities from US who have nothing to do with olympics. Shouldn't the retired and world class athletes be celebrated on such occasion?
Also, why was Lady Gaga performing? Could they not find charming French singer for that performance? And apparently it was pre-recorded too.

>>2108325It has been criticized to hell and back. Lots of people hated the drag queen show on the catwalk part with the obese woman, and everyone is theorizing and tinfoiling a lot.
Some people are now saying that the scene in which the camera zooms out while showing the drag queens and the kid, wasn't the last supper but a painting of a bacchanal.
It's the particular scene, mixed with the moid with his balls out, that has caused the most discussion.

>>2108347It's hard to say anything without seeing the actual segment, and I haven't been able to find it online, just pics. Are there even 12 people in the "parody"? This still pic at least doesn't automatically read "Last Supper" to me, at least not 100%. But perhaps in the actual performance it was obvious & 100% a parody/interpretation.
It did look degenerate and stupid (esp the blue guy), but when will people learn that throwing a temper tantrum about a performance or an art piece (like Piss Jesus) just gives it more attention? The more scandalous, the more attention, and the more money the performers and choreographers will end up getting in their lifetimes. A better approach for a media outlet dealing with shit like this is to cover all the non-degen stuff and stay relatively silent on the rest. They should take a lesson from the weightlifters at the Tokyo Olympics: "No, thank you" is powerful.
Plus, Jesus isn't Mohammad, he wouldn't care about being mocked. Wish they'd done a little mocking of the other prophet, kek

As an ex Muslim I'l glad I can shit all over Islam and not be sued or go to jail for it thanks to that, and it makes perfect sense the organizers can make a parody of a famous bible fanart… which didn't even happen in the first place because it's a parody of another painting that represents Greek gods. During the Olympic Games. Which were invented in Ancient Greece. And the singer in that part of the ceremony was dressed as a Greek god, why would a Greek god be in a last supper parody? Is the last supper painting even in a Parisian museum? Christians need to get over themselves for once in their lives.
No. 2108445
>>2107200Are you also a French fag nona? I disagree. There were many things that could have been celebrated from our history amd culture without making it a cheap plastic show led by cross dressers (with their balls out…fantastic) or American celebrities. The library scene just proves the person who came up with it has never read a line of Marivaux or what the book he referenced was about. The display of Marie Antoinette was tasteless - a woman who was slandered and unfairly tried then executed - but I guess she's fair game to be mocked because she's a woman (funny how Louis XVI didn't feature too, huh).
That was a tasteless ceremony, imo. The good bits were overshadowed by the bad ones. I still don't get why that emphasis on trannies and drag queens (yay let's center men in womanface, that's what we need). What does they have anything to do with the Olympics??? The whole thing was in poor taste imo and I'm not surprised at the backlash. Doing that on the Seine was stupid, we were there and couldn't see a thing + ended up soaking wet.
No. 2108452
>>2108448>We should be celebrating things that gathered us, not throw oil on fire. The song during the part that annoyed Christians is pretty much about that.
>>2108445I liked some parts of the ceremony a lot but I did find it weird that there were such an emphasis on drag queens. Then I remembered that the French version of Ru Paul's tv show is aired on France 2 just like the ceremony was so I assume it played a part in it. And let's be real. Most men involved in art and planning this sort of events are gay to begin with so that doesn't help.
>The display of Marie Antoinette was tasteless - a woman who was slandered and unfairly tried then executed - but I guess she's fair game to be mocked because she's a woman (funny how Louis XVI didn't feature too, huh). It would have made more sense to show both of them but I see it as a detail tbh.
>with their balls out…fantasticI really hope the dancer was wearing whatever it's called so he didn't have his actual balls exposed on tv, male ballet dancers usually wear something to avoid this kind of situations.

Religious pearl-clutching aside, I feel like people are being pointlessly vile about this ceremony overall. I thought that we were the world capital of hating on everything but maybe we're chill after all, positive comments seem mostly French or middle aged foreigners that lived here at some point. I wiped the dust off my social media accounts just for the olympics expecting to see fun memes and interesting bits of information but all I see is endless whining. And they're being willfully stupid too, ignoring the whole show just because they had to see drag queens for a hot minute so that means everything is bad now. Could it have been better ? Of course. Were there questionable choices ? yes, but I have seen 0 constructive criticism anywhere so far. Was Philippe Katerine's bit cringy ? Absolutely but at the end of the day it's just that, cringy. Yet everyone is screaming over this nothingburger because being mad is just more fun to them I guess. Foreign presenters not explaining shit or even mentioning who is who and why they're here probably didn't help, like I watched a little bit of the NBC version afterwards because I missed the early part and they were really useless.
I was hoping this thread would be a bit more critical but it's just the same empty talking points of muh degeneracy and "a faggot is present, thus your opinion is invalid"
>>2108714I liked it as well. Metal is huge in France and Gojira deserved to be here as a well known band. Since there was a "present meets history" theme it made sense that brutal music and brutal history would be linked for the performance.
>>2107721It's true I only ever watched épée before, is saber just that crazy ? He was going at it like a rabid kangaroo while the iranian fencer was more awkward than Louis XVI in bed, I was confused by how unbalanced it was.

No. 2108874
>>2108835There's no way it won't be even more retarded than the French one. Maybe they will do something to commemorate the "bimbo" pride and kids will do tiktok dances while some rappers sing about big asses and cheating.

In the end it's hilarious how even the Olympic's social media is deleting the videos, they must know they fucked up after all, otherwise they would just keep them up with the comments off like anyone else.

It's not the organizers' fault is everyone is either stupid or simply doesn't know the specific painting that inspired this part of the show.
>drag queens are from the USA, not France btwThere are drag queens in France even if it started as an American concept, and the French version of Drag Race is broadcasted by France 2. France 2 is also the channel that broadcasted the ceremony so I'm sure they thought it would be a great idea to hire drag queens based on how many people watched the first seasons of Drag Race France, which was a LOT of people iirc. The neighborhood with a lot of gay bars, bookshops, etc. in Paris is also very well known, it's called Le Marais. So it doesn't come out of nowhere at all, regardless of how distasteful it is.
No. 2109052
>>2108995Drag was literally different back then, compared to what was shown, I wouldn't have even said a thing if it was an opera show with moids in drag because lol funny men in dresses and because the point back then was that men hated women so much that they didn't want to see them on a stage (sounds familiar doesn't it?) But it was just modern drag bullshit with people badly dressed in the most retarded clothes that weren't even interesting from a fashion point of view.
I don't get why you keep defending drag bullshit. It's okay that you enjoy it, but maybe stop trying to justify broadcasting that shit during an important worldwide event.
No. 2109101
I just think that most of the performances in the ceremony felt either unfinished/not thought-out properly and thoroughly or not executed well live. If that blue man was supposed to be Dionysus and the party behind him was a 'pagan party linked to the Gods of Olympus' then it was a poorly made act, with costumes and decorations that looked like the best pieces low budget art students could afford. I genuinely believe that most of the criticism could have been avoided if the ideas were presented with more of a cinematic or theatrical approach (more details, pompous decorations and etc.). Sometimes there was this lack of style, care and attention to details that made some performances feel even amateurish (like the part with the floating pink dancers in the beginning when the director doesn't switch cameras and shows weird/off angles; during the pre-recorded Gaga's performance one dancer slipped and fell, but for some reason they ran with it, etc.). What I mean is if everything at least looked perfect and felt like it was planned for years, people wouldn't be that critical. And it's a shame that so many people, blinded and influenced by some 'bad' bits, call it the worst opening ceremony ever. There were 'good' things like the ending with the light/laser show on Eiffel tower, the statue display, mechanical horse and Joan of Arc… I don't think it was the best nor the worst ceremony, but a part of it was messy and maybe not thought out through. I also think they should've been smarter regarding the sensitive and divisive topics (I mean, you're showing this to the whole world), even though the vocal communities who are currently hating the performances also go way too far with the hatred and ideological argumentation, imo.
I don't know if it sounds like I'm disagreeing with myself at times, but just like the ceremony was a mixed bag, my thoughts about it are too.
Speaking of sports, have you watched the skateboarding final? When it was added to Olympics I was so excited to watch it, but so far it's disappointing. They one by one do a trick and that one trick is rated, then another trick and so on until the highest rated wins. I kinda wish that skaters had programs with a bunch of tricks and elements like ice skaters have and the difficulty of the program is rated, again like in ice skating.
No. 2109186
>>2108886AYRT the difference is that you have an actual reason to think it's bad. And I also have mixed opinions on it. My problem is people who were asleep for most of the ceremony stopping at one detail and completely ignoring everything else, and generally idiots proving that culture is indeed like spreading jam on toast and the less you have the further you have to reach. I was also shocked at the weird threesome thing, that was the actual outrageous part for me. It felt like a trashy perfume ad. Imagine was also performed at the Tokyo Olympics, though I wished Juliette Armanet performed her own song or covered another french classic.
>>2109101I mostly agree. Some costumes on the runway looked like they were about to fall apart, it was stupid for the closest filmed performers to have the shittiest costumes and it's true the bacchanal bit should have been more obvious. I think the whole runway part tried to be too many things at the same time and ended up looking like neither of them. The cancan dresses were not the best, they should have been able to think of something that doesn't look like a Halloween costume and is clearly visible from a distance. The dancers were not in sync at all. The art props in the water didn't look very good. I'm a bit disappointed that with all the money that went into it, and all the trouble that was caused, it didn't go all out on everything. The idea was really ambitious and I feel like we ruined our chance to have a truly historically impressive show.

Taiwan’s double world champion featherweight Lin Yu-ting, scheduled to fight on behalf of Chinese Taipei this Friday, also lost a bronze medal in New Delhi over a “biochemical test for gender eligibility”.
>The IOC says ultimately it is up to individual sports to decide their rules based on “robust and peer-reviewed science … which demonstrates a consistent, unfair and disproportionate competitive advantage and/or an unpreventable risk to the safety of the athletes.”
>But there are significant concerns behind the scenes about the system being particularly unworkable in boxing. The IOC has effectively divorced itself from the IBA so decisions largely rest with the national Olympic committees and federations.
>Insiders say it is a significant reason why boxing is not in the Olympic programme for LA 2028. Studies show higher testosterone carries a huge safety risk for women in any combat sport. Men, the science shows, punch 2.6 times harder than women; the biggest documented performance advantage in any sport.

>>2111620We wouldn't have religious messages in an official public event in France. A surfer apparently had to remove religious imagery from his board. You're not allowed to show up to a public school with a crucifix around your neck either. When I was little I drew an anime character with a cross at my therapist office and he didn't put it on the wall. I understand it does look like the Last Supper at first glance but the confusion is cleared in half a second if you remember that this is France. People always comment on our issues regarding laïcité but somehow forgot all about it all of a sudden.
Besides that, the Feast of the Gods is exposed in Dijon. The Last Supper is in Italy. IMO the problem is that they didn't make the costumes a more obvious reference to the Greek gods besides the DJ girl's halo. I'm curious if the drag queens brought their own costumes or what because it doesn't look like they were made for the event.

However, I think the US women’s team are genuinely changing the sport! In the past, many female olympic gymnasts were teenage girls, and because of the standards then, were only viable at a young age. You may remember the scandal where one of the Chinese gymnasts was only 14 (too young to compete at the Olympics). But Simone Biles is very strong and mainly excels in pulling off extremely difficult moves that no one else can, and she’s still winning gold medals at 27 years old. Most of the other women from the US team are also in their 20s. Beyond just being good, I think that’s why this team is being celebrated so much

The committee that disqualified this woman and the Taiwanese woman refuses to explicitly state what exactly was done to confirm gender. The "they came back with a Y chromsome" is sourced from one Russian politician's Telegram message.

now radfems are finally showing what they actually think about intersex people and that they actually did see them as being the same as trans all this time.

>>2116070I honestly think she's cute, she's nowhere near as cute as Misha but I think she's so goofy she ends up being cute. Also the fact that the Paralympics mascot is the same design but with a prosthetic leg is simple but a nice detail.

>>2116070The hands popping out of the costume when the flaps are supposed to be her actual arms make it look so cursed, but I love my girl Hello Clitty. I'm glad they found someone to draw a cute character because you know our mascot would have been an old dude with his dick out otherwise. The illustrations are funny especially when she makes a serious face and I like that the paralympics Clitty-chan has a prosthetic.
>>2116325I kind of understand, I like the other choices more too, but they kinda look like they could be somewhere else like a videogame.

>>2116309Thanks to lc I cannot see her as anything other than a cartoon clitoris. I know it's a Phrygian cap but my mind refuses to see her as such. I love her so much.
>>2116070Clit-chan doesn't have arms like those, but this costume is just so adorable.
>>2116735I'm actually sad that not many Russians will be competing this time because they're some of my favorites to ogle

this post is not related to gender because i believe both of the competitors are women.
is it any surprise that italy dipped out after 46 seconds? angela carini fucking sucks at boxing, she let herself get punched without even attempting any self defence, and she is doughy and skinny fat without any visible muscle mass.
imane khelif has been beaten in matches plenty of times before. she was beaten in 2022 championships by irish boxer amy broadhurst, who commented this two days ago:
>Have a lot of people texting me over Imane Khelif. Personally I don’t think she has done anything to ‘cheat’. I thinks it’s the way she was born & that’s out of her control. The fact that she has been beating by 9 females before says it all.
i just think italy screams of sour grapes and wanted imane disqualified because she is not a 'normal' woman. unfortunately, italy and right-wing idiots on twitter don't seem to understand that it would be discrimination to disqualify imane. it's just embarrassing the way italy has been crying about this considering the amount of times imane has taken a beating from other women lol.(ignoring a farmhand warning)

>>2118516it's an advantage to be incredibly short (and in the past, underweight and underage). You can turn and flip more quickly with less body mass. Female gymnasts are often scouted at extremely young ages, and the heights of their parents are taken into account. Khorkina is a good example of an outlier - a successful "tall" gymnast - she topped out at 5'5" (165cm). She had some trouble with her height at certain points in her career, but was able to ultimately adapt. On the plus side, her height emphasized her body lines and balletic form, which is important in scoring. (Of course I'm glossing over a lot.)
But yes, it's incredibly advantageous to be short, so much so that female gymnasts were starved to stave off puberty. Male gymnasts also tend to be short, but because men get so much strength & power by going through testosterone-fueled male puberty, there were never prepubescent male gymnasts.

Gymnastics schedule for today. Can't wait to see the vaults. Rebeca Andrade has submitted a triple twisting Yurchenko, but I've never seen a video of her landing it (it cuts off before the landing). Maybe someone else has seen a video? Of course it will be interesting to see what vaults Simone competes as well. However, I won't fault anyone for choosing to compete with beautiful, clean vaults (Amanar, Cheng, etc.) if they don't feel they can land the more difficult or more innovative ones. Personally, I'll be curious as to whether we'll see any handspring vaults. I always enjoyed seeing Chusovitina compete with her lovely handspring entries; she has two named after her. I don't know if anyone has been training the Yeo or anything a bit different from the norm (aside from Biles' Yurchenko Double Pike and Andrade's Yurchenko Triple Twist).
If you need a crash course on the code of points, check out the clickable code of points. Choose "exit mobile version" for it to work better on mobile devices. This is the vault page:
https://balancebeamsituation.com/clickable-code-of-points-vault/?noamp=mobileYou can click on each vault for a candid, well-written history of it and usually a video of it being performed, as well as how that vault has been scored in the past and current code of points.
I'm not usually a fan of reddit, but r/Gymnastics is mostly women and I enjoy reading some of the analyses there (including in non-Olympic years & when they are discussing older competitions). There are some very knowledgeable women posting there.

>>2118482im miss mustafina she was amazing. of course biles is the better athletes but i liked some of the russians better in terms of artistry.
>>2118916Chusovitina isn't competing this year tight? she's such a legend, she really stood out among the rest. older than the rest, been here since the soviet union, short hair and no nonsense old-fashioned leotard, just shows up for vault, refuses to elaborate, leaves. total chad.

>>2118925I miss Mustafina too! I think covid really destroyed her plans at a comeback. I understand what you mean about the different styles of gymnastics; there's a lot more of a fluid and balletic quality to some athletes' routines. (Not all Russians have it but some do/did.) One of my favorite older gymnasts to rewatch is Lilia Podkopayeva, just so elegant and powerful at the same time. Of course, this was a different era of gymnastics and I wouldn't choose to undo the progress that has been made and the fact that women rather than girls are performing. But I would like to see more emotion and artistry rather than complex tumble after tumble.
Mai Murakami was pretty artistic on floor, but I hated her music in Tokyo.
