šŸˆSports 2024 Paris Olympics

Yeah I donā€™t understand how they donā€™t understand DEI and gay shit at target doesnā€™t breed resentment from people who would ordinarily not care. Like sorry I want my doctor to have not gotten a break.

Are the Paris Olympics Suffering From a Slow Pool?

Some swimmers and officials believe the shallow depth of the pool is contributing to slower times. Here's what the stats and the science say.

Right or wrong, there has been vigorous vilifying of the La DĆ©fense Arena poolā€™s depth. The temporary pool was built at 2.15 meters, which was deeper than the minimum standard of two meters at the time the Paris Games plans were approved several years ago, but more shallow than current World Aquatics recommendations.

The more shallow the pool is, the greater the turbulence from water bouncing off the bottom.

Those suggest a minimum depth of 2.5 meters, with three meters the ideal measurement. The temporary pool in Indianapolis for U.S. Olympic Trials was about 2.8 meters deep. Many of the high-level meets around the world now are contested at 2.5 or deeper.

The reason that matters: waves. The more shallow the pool, the greater the turbulence when swimmers make waves. The deeper the pool, the calmer the water.

And those who have been observing the closestā€”the coaches and competitorsā€”say this pool is far from calm.

ā€œItā€™s absurdly slow,ā€ says one swimming official who requested anonymity. ā€œIt lacks depth, but it also has strange levels. And when you have a shallow pool with as many underwater cameras as we now have, it doesnā€™t help settle the water.ā€

The official said the waves are near-constant in the morning preliminaries, when there are more heats stacked on top of each other. But even at night, the surface is rarely calm.

ā€œEven after a seven- or eight-minute break between heats, you can see the water still moving,ā€ the official says. ā€œAnd if you go back and watch videos from other Olympics, you can see the surface of the water is like glass before every final.ā€

Had this same repetitive argument with someone recently. No, we don't give a shit about gays, no one has cared in 2-3 decades. Just stop shoving it down our throats in every single venue of life.

Bigotry of all kinds were literally at an all time low in the 90s, so the left had to create hate. And it worked. The more the flaming fags and BLM niggers act like victims and make everything about their identity, the more people will hate them.

And yet...the more they do it, the more votes they get. Funny isn't it? Its like people in this worthless country like being on the team that's allowed to denigrate and hold power over others.

Yep.

I was talking to a filipina last night whose my age, but back to college and taking a US Politics class. She said the professor is openly a rabid liberal.

How is that not a conflict of interest? How does one believe we should get rid of the electoral college or that a POTUS should be able to alter SCOTUS with an EO? No wonder so many young people come out of college retarded.
 
Our retards are actually delusional cheats and have supporters, China is just outright cheating with no delusions. I'm not sure which is worse.

I don't feel bad for these women though. There are only 2 scenarios: The women are feminists who fool themselves into thinking they have a chance to win....until they get popped in the face once, in which case fuck these feminists. The other is that women are bringing this on themselves, so fuck them for not having the courage to refuse to fight. Every damn woman who wants a shot at winning their sport has to boycott, which may be sacrificing income. Make it so the boxer has no one to fight, the swimmer is the only one in the pool, and so on.
