Since the Paris Olympics are on and I'm loving it, I wondered what sport is everyone enjoying watching? π
Have you been inspired to try out any new sports? What sport would you love to be good at? π΄ββοΈ
I think my favourites are the gymnastics, athletics and swimming. I also got up so early this morning to watch the mixed triathlon!! But I'm really looking forward to the track cycling starting tonight, the sport climbing which has just started this morning, and the breakdancing to see what that's like for its first year in the Olympics!

I was watching the canoeing too and have been looking up places to do that near where I live! Might be my new summer hobby!
the swimming, diving and gymnastics have been good - and i have somehow ended up watching things like Men's hockey or sailing at one point (because only the olympics could get me to do that).
i'll have to have a look at what sports are on this week - i'm pretty sure there's a fair bit of athletics on but other than that i'll just turn on the TV and find out - because life is full of surprises π
Same here it looks super fun!. I've seen a bit of thr canoeing too and I think it looks extreme haha π I was confused though why they were going backwards to the start at one point but I realised its because of the flag poles having different colours meaning where to turn and go
I always find events that involve a lot of precision & coordination impressive - gymnastics and diving are those that come to mind
I was so happy KJT finally got her medal this weekend in the heptathlon
I think for me all of the games was pretty cool. I can't believe though I missed the break dancing I was probably on Youtube distracted by some video haha. I will say the 19 year old boy who won the climbing competition was amazing and he seemed so humble and chill but shocked when he realised he won gold. He really deserved that medal too because the way he climbed that wall was so so brave and amazing. I could never climb a wall like that .
I've got it on in the background!
