All you need to hear in that article to know how unfair it is, is "the 43 year old"

Get rid of Women's sport, we dont need to live in a world that segregates.

Excited for this! I love the Olympic games!

you don't even watch, so don't post

i'm excited for this, hope the opening ceremony will again be a entertaining show too

i don't care about no audiences since i never pay attention to those, just the sports, and at least now no distractions for the athletes, since those audiences cannot shut up sometimes when athletes need to concentrate :idc: :laugh:



i'm interested in Athletics, Hockey, Handball (even though it is without our babe Estevana Polman sadly) Football (since our women are quite good, and some chances at a medal, i'm not saying gold as USA is probably/likely taking that one, but we got a superstar too Lieke Martens)


Swimming maybe with Kromowidjojo, and Van Rouwendaal (especially at open water, which Sharon is amazing at) and maybe Femke Heemskerk who might surprise considering it might be her last chance at some olympic medals


Equastrian idk our chances, but i'll watch for The Boss's daughter Jessica Springsteen, whom trains in my nation, at TOPS in Valkenswaard, love how she will make her olympic debut at show jumping, she is in a good team too btw with quite some olympic veterans

It will be very strange with silent , empty stadiums though !!?

to me, the crowd is everything at the olympics, the competitors raise their game in response to the crowd. It just won't be the same

Unless they pipe in fake crowd noises like they do/did for the footie matches

we are already used to empty stadiums by now so this won't be a problem

Well I can’t watch footie matches without either a crowd or with fake crowd noises .

I can’t abide just hearing them kicking the ball with the odd shout and cough in the background
