Zing No, I don't think so. I've been looking but the Sports section only had a Wimbledon and a World Cup board. Nothing for Olympics.

shame, I was hoping to live in there for the next few weeks!

more shiny jackets

I’ve been to lesthoto. It’s really nice.

I asked MN to create an Olympics topic.

but we could just keep adding new threads as we run out...so stay here for general banter

Ooh- the olympic torch thingy still works

No social distancing for USA.

penultimate nation...only Japan to go

Ohhh, ok. Obviously not a numbers rule from IOC looking at the number of US athletes coming in! Must be up to individual countries.

Haha, love the backflip from the French chap. Showing off indeed.

That basketball player from Japan is a giant. Dude.

ah, that was a nice parade.

the light it up!🔥

Yes, I read that the USA have about 200 walking ( of the 600 they have sent).

@GrouchyKiwi

What do you feed him, Zing?

oh I'm so emotional now, can't believe they picked a Hungarian athlete for this piece!

Now THIS is what I expected from Japan.

This has taken a strange turn…

YES!!!!

I adore this!

The video was a perfect tear jerker.

Not really sure what this is now ...

My children are very taken with the girl with the "mushroom hair".
