Will the Paris Olympics bore fest ever end? The swimming events usually finish at about the same time the Athletics start, but not with these Olympics, everything is just taking so long.
The official website is also rubbish, very slow and it's hard to navigate.
Basically, the French really screwed up.
The only positive is that New Zealand currently sit above Canada on the medal table in eleventh place. NZ has bettered the country's previous best gold medal haul at the 1984 games in Los Angeles. [Update: NZ has now gone to 10 gold medals, the first time it has hit double figures. NZ is now back to eleventh place on the medal table, sitting above Canada with nine gold medals.]
Interestingly, nearly all of NZ's gold medals apart from two (Finn Butcher - Canoe Slalom, and Hamish Kerr - High Jump) have come from the women. The NZ women are very good looking of course, and so watching them is easy on the eye, but come on men, ya slackers. Oh, and special mention to the women's Hungarian kayak sprint team who all appear to be supermodels.
Golfer, Lydia Ko came through for New Zealand, winning gold after previously winning silver (Rio) and bronze (Tokyo), so now she's completed the set. She's such a good competitor. She's hinted at retiring soon, but if she does, who can say she ever let New Zealand down?
I may not follow future Olympics, they are now far too political, and the judging events are all rigged. I'm told that tourists no longer travel to watch the games, and locals hate having their cities disrupted. I wonder if the Olympics have a future?
