·Red Symons a bloke with a wicked dry sense of humor was a successful Australian musician early on and later in his career a TV & radio personality, always said that most Olympic sports could be put in 3 categories that had their origins in Fighting (boxing, shooting etc.), Fleeing (running, swimming etc.) and Flouncing (dressage, gymnastics etc.) and now break dancing can be added to the latter category.

·A lot of the breaking reminded me of the body-ruining routines the gymnasts do, particularly the pommel horse. I haven't seen the men yet, but the women’s final (Japan-Lithuania) was really impressive. I also enjoyed the version of Horse With No Name the DJ had going in the bachround. I'm sorry it won't be on in LA - of all places, you might have thought...
On the other hand, speed climbing should be banned, on the basis that those guys can move faster vertically than I can on the flat, which I find not so much thrilling as threatening. 😲

·So if a gymnast did a floor routing within an 8' circle, would that be break dance?

If she had a ribbon or a ball….she would have won the rhythmic gymnastics 😁😁😁
Had fun reading all the flak she’s coping….As Aussies that’s fair game to take the piss out of anyone either good or bad.
All time best win was our Steven Bradbury 😉

·Interesting to see everyone’s thoughts, reactions, and complaints here.
I was at a place watching Manchester United and City. The bartenders turned it off for the USA / Brazil gold medal game. What a reaction from everyone there and the tvs were switched back. Somehow the bartenders survived the day.

I’d rather watch City-United than any Olympic event too.

·Watched the bit of the modern pentathlon, not really my thing although I do try my best to diversify..
Loved the skateboarding, especially the 51-year-old British guy he was having such a great time in amongst all the kids😁
Watched some of the women break-dancing, didn't think I would be into it but it was surprisingly compelling..
The speed climbing has to be one of the most exciting new (ish) events.. I still can't get over how gripping it was.. 👍
..and the regular men's and womens boulder events were also surprisingly watchable

·Interesting discretionary sports included by the LA28 committee:
New:
- Flag football
- Squash
Returning:
- Lacrosse
- Cricket
- Baseball/softball
And modern pentathlon will be modified, with an obstacle course replacing the equestrian jumping.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersMonday morning and quelle horreur -no Olympics to watch!
I think overall that Paris and France should be roundly congratulated on a really great Olympic Games.
