Leaders in medals in the 2024 Olympics

Why not the top ten ?

Because after number one, it really does not matter.....USA USA USA  !

I dumped the Olympics from my viewing roster.  I never watched the opening ceremony and I am glad I missed it given what I saw after the fact.  And the boxing match between that Italian woman and some Algerian really reaffirmed why I won't waste my time on the Olympics ever again.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I watched the opening ceremonies, I did not like them at all. Lots of fairies to say the least. Did it offend me?

No

Because what I believe,  we will still believe and I know that truly offends them.

I enjoyed seeing all the AMERI - CANS win in track, field,  swimming, volleyball etc

Some very special moments made.

And always remember this AMERI- CAN !

Keep stuffing those medals in USA USA USA

For me it wasn't a question of being offended.  Very little offends me but rather amuses me much more.  However, in my limited time left on this biological clock, I really need to exercise careful consideration how I use the remaining time and that does not include giving the precious commodity away to watch the current version of modernity paraded before my eyes.  They can do what they do but I don't have'ta watch.  It is nice to see the US doing well I must admit.

Understood but one can not be denied of anything because of others points of views.

We truly enjoyed the competition in the games

Can't wait until the next one....go RED, WHITE and BLUE....USA USA USA  !

The poor quality of Olympic medals as told by a US bronze medal winner.

Maybe they are really made of chocolate. Hmmmmm. Win a medal get your chocolate reward. Just peel off foil and eat. Good job. See you in four years.

First and foremost skateboarding (in my eyes) should not be in the Olympics.

Neither should be breakdancing, men beating up women and the other other fancy new arts they have included in order to be progressive and all inclusive in this new world.

For the second looser to complain about a BRONZE medal shows that he should not have been chosen to be there.

Thank you and enjoy your day
