Couldn;t be bothered to start a new thread, but just been announced that the 2032 games will be in Brisbane

I'm getting some Spiny Norman/Kitten Kong vibes here.

Are we talking about actual events in here? I don't think anyone was expecting an easy game for the US women against Sweden in soccer, but losing 3-0 still feels like a shocking result.

Maybe start a new thread. It's going to jar having any discussion of the sport on this one.

The times we live in: breathing a sigh of relief when watching the news, and they report an Australian equestrian has tested positive ... for cocaine. Phew! (The rider, not the horse, I don't know what they're on).

Will anybody score a steroid/Covid double?

Interesting comparison with the 1964 Tokyo games; the Twitter thread and pictures are worth a look even if you don't have NYT access.

I thought that I wouldn't watch anything, but I ended up staying up until 1.50 am watching rowing, and now I'm eating a ham and cheese sandwich and watching Ireland v South Africa in women's hockey.

I'm enjoying the football and I would watch Barty v Osaka if they reached the tennis final.

Tokyo reported almost 3000 cases this morning, the highest number at any point in the pandemic

Satchmo won't need to find time for the tennis
