Paris Olympics - swipes, gripes, controversies and triumphs

[Thryleon]

Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the Olympics in general this time around
I was going to start a separate thread as there are a few controversial things getting a bit of attention. (super swims??? and Boxing shenanigans)
And with the main event kicking off now (Athletics)   ...
Do we need to do that or just let this become a more generic thread?
Is there the interest?
Problem may be that most of the  posts have been about basketball so I'll leave it to DJC (as the thread starter) to decide whether we need a separate thread for other Olympic topics.

I can't wait until it's finished.  I have never been so disinterested in an Olympics. 

Not even sure why, just couldn't get into it.

A woman getting knocked out by a not so female woman is just yet another background story here.
