Ahh - the old Le Bron and Dwayne Wade "We guarantee gold" routine. Fuck yeah!!
Of course - ignoring the Team USA's recent performances in international FIBA rules basketball is always useful.
It's been a long time since the Dream Team.
In NZ's corner - once again we'll be relying our rowers and people sitting down (horses mainly, but a few yachts) to win us some medals. Sitting down and/or going backwards is how we usually win some.
Valerie Vili is in a good position to take the gold in female shotput. I think we've got a few other good hopes in the triathalon.
2700 hours? That's bonkers.
I'm not real excited about it all yet - this one - more than more recent ones - really reeks of trying extra hard to be what it's not. We all know China's got major issues - and all the efforts to put together the perfect games - seem to serve only to enhance those issues. Which is ironic considering all the effort.
But this thread is not for that - it's for the sports. Apologies for the off topic
