If youβre not watching the olympics worth chucking on in the background. Not a MASSIVE sports guy but itβs interesting as fuck! Also weβre beating America in the medal tally, and we didnβt even get our own boat for the opening ceremony!
Oui oui
Olympics always start with the water events - which is where we punch well above our weight. So we do really well on the medal tally for the first week, and then we sorta plateau a bit.
I can't have it on in the background. I have bathrooms to clean and I'll be too distracted and unproductive if the Olympics is on.
I missed us on the boat. I watched the opening ceremony and my feed started with Cyprus. It was most bizarre. I'll have to seek out that bit specifically.
