Olympics, Paris, 2024

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Olympics, Paris, 2024

Post by Topper »

Canada starts with a bang.

Canada's women's soccer team was busted for have a Soccer Canada official spy on the New Zealand team's practises.

Canada beat NZ today, 2-1

Canada's Olympic Committee has suspended the women's coach for the mutation of the games.

No word of Robert Kraft is offering them jobs.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yeah, something tells me these games are going to suck.

And we're off to an auspicious start.

Just generally Don. I suppose we'll win our share of medals, but I'm not into it.

Just France, the politics, the embarrassing uniforms, the IOC...

But, but, but... it's the first gender-equal Olympics in history!

I'll watch the men's and women's 20 km race walk, I cannot miss that.

There will be no Olympic 50 km men's walk this year for the first time, sadly. It's an outrage :twisted:

RIP 50 km :(
