The Olympics thread

[Septentrionalis]

Here you can discuss the Olympic Games, either the on-going ones or past ones.

This is something that should have some special interest to me and AoRun in addition to any Americans or just skateboarding fans out there. The Californian Lizzie Armanto is one of the best female skateboarders ever, and she is Finnish on her father's side and Philipina on her mother's side. What a great genetic mixture .

Somewhat surprisingly, she is representing Finland in these Olympic Games instead of her native United States. The purpose is quite noble though; there would be no Finnish women qualifying for the Olympics in skateboarding and this way she will allow one more woman to participate (as someone from the US takes her place now).



Here is a video of her practicing.

why the hell is no one naked and oiled up in any of these games?

Agree with Akar here. Why all the clothes?

But she doesn't even look Finnish so pass.
