Throwing like a girl is no longer an insult. They are accurate.

I'm guessing their uniforms had to be...uniform, otherwise I'd expect to see the whole crew.

This is a sport...? And somehow e sports the likes of starcraft and lol are not......right.....

I’ve always felt Rhythmic Gymastics is better than regular gymnastics. It’s creative

Yes, Sailor Dragon Ball Moon

I was like, no its not but then noticed the gem in the bow...its so glammored up, cool.
CanadianSith
Soooooooo... they won I have to assume. That was amazing
Weneedbees
I like imagining how ancient Greeks would have loved rhythmic gymnastics even if it doesn’t involve leaping over bulls.
DangerIsMyMiddleName
Rhythmic gymnastics is my favourite Olympic event. I look forward to it each time. Especially the ribbon.
Archstump
Still traveled less than lebron James
InHarajuku
If spectators had been allowed the place would’ve been LIT. This routine was trending under three different keywords on Japan Twitter

Sad that the stadium looks empty.

It's odd for sure but understandable. Japan has been pretty proactive about covid measures
EstilgarDono
Not just the outfits, but the music too

Female athletes: we are not here to tittilate or fulfill your fetishes or sexual fantasies. Uzbekistan athletes: Sailor Moon routine
hereforthedogsandthegaysthatsit
How on earth is someone doing a routine using outfits from a KIDS anime show, self sexualizing? We aren’t responsible for your creepy
beautifulsouth0
The authoritarian regime pre 2016 did not allow these young women the same pop culture upbringing you had. Imagine why, if Japanese anime
beautifulsouth0
isn't really a thing over there, or wasn't says my Uzbek refugee former roommate, Sailor Moon would interest them at all? Think.
hereforthedogsandthegaysthatsit
Fantasies.
aintnothinbutahounddog28
It's it fun to advertise that you can't comprehend the difference between women choosing to do something they want to do and being FORCED
beautifulsouth0
There is still widespread forced sterilization of women in Uzbekistan, bride kidnapping and forced/child labor. Ask if they got a choice.
aintnothinbutahounddog28
to sexualize themselves?? Your comment had a very "hur dur I can't even talk to women anymore cause I don't understand consent" vibe
CarrieUnderboob
The weirder or more obscure the event, the more likely all the participants are from the wealthiest families of those countries.
IAmAngry
This sport "Rhytmic Gymnastics" is one of the main sport events for East Europe, for them Baseball is weird sport for rich kids
MajorTom0101
And then there's some guy from Africa who qualified for the Olympics by running on cut out tires.
CyderMayker
I mean, running isn't really an obscure event....
MajorTom0101
*in constrast to obscure events that only rich can afford
CyderMayker
Gotcha.
FlaccidHamster
I mean this one looks like you just need 5 balls to throw around

At this point Sailor Moon it's a classic part of the repertoire... Which is nice
kraquepype
It's like Sailor Moon with balls. Never typing that again.
whatbuttondoipush
So Sailor Stars?

I have 100% seen Sailor Moon with balls. And... other things.

You should definitely Google that. Definitely.

20 years ago, east coast anime fans were subjected to Sailor Bob and a bunch of other dudes gender bending as Sailor Scouts.
DontusetheMword
That's someone's fetish
Pavloval
I'm reminded of the Sailor Moon / Dragon Ball Z porn crossover.
DoctorCoktopus
*adjusts glasses* the h'what now?
Pavloval
You know how we Anime fans are, always trying to convert Normals. Come to the Dark Side, we have porn.
jliviKittenJunkie
Its called sailor and the seven balls. It looks terrible but there it is.
gablestout
You may never type it again, but I am going to make you look at it
JustAFlamingoInDisguise
I already liked Sailor Jupitor... but I think I like this version better... those legs
Superchief86
I mean, when you've got the legs for it.

Hel-LO sailor!

So thus is a thing but Aussie rules or American rules football isn't an Olympic sport? If I have that wrong I'm sorry...
Youhavinagiraffe
I think the fact they have a specific nations in the name of the sport should be a clue why an international contest might not work
mondeca
The Olympics has rugby 7s, and as an American, I'd rather watch rugby. It makes the NFL look slow, with how often they stop the clock.
DouglasPouchOfHolding
American football runs on soap opera time.
BarryTheCyborg
It's a gymnastics event. This team just decided to use balls in their performance
ilyasInternetSmuggler
Who plays American Football or Aussie Rules Football apart from said nations? There would be nobody to take Silver or Bronze through Forfeit
EddyWantok
We used to play this hybrid of Gaelic and Aussie Rules against Ireland. It was a fun concept.
CanadianSith
Canada? The CFL is a thing.
agermanguy
Works for their world series no?
grumpiestoldwoman
I think more countries play baseball than play football (not soccer).
agermanguy
Yeah that might be true.
DeezyMonster
The US recently started a rugby league which is at least similar to Aussie rules, right? We aren’t as good but it’s exciting to watch!
Superchief86
Nah, very different sports. Just a similar shaped ball.
DeezyMonster
Ah, I was not aware. Just casually saw some Aussie rules once and it seemed similar. Sounds like I have some reading to do. Thanks!
rsmatt00
If it became a thing people might get into it? The NFL is desperately trying to shoehorn a team into the UK already.
pm1001
They have tried that multiple times. Kurt Warner used to play for a European team I think
Soleska
We have some teams in Germany. But nobody goes to the games even though there's kinda a hype around the Superbowl.
Donku83
You'd need international interest for it to become a thing
alchaeus12
But like this has international interest? They made it a competition and so nations get teams for it.
MadameRainbowPants
They’ve tried nfl in Europe I think already no? Didn’t it fail?
allzquiet
Yes in the fact it’s not around anymore but it was fairly popular in Germany
rsmatt00
And Mexico
rsmatt00
There's Canadiens playing a kind of Football like American rules already, sort of...
SonOfKazar
Lol at "already," since 1956.
DontcallmeRooster
There's a league in Japan.
HobbstheTiger
There's a lot of weird things in the Olympics that I never knew existed.
zHurk777
Curling is the most idiotic.

Right? Wtf
BORGALOOGIE
Wait a minute are you telling me breakdance is a big thing but Ultimate Frisbee is back burner?
comette
They also added like 4 new sports this year
Neobomberman28
And brought baseball back.
CaptainThePirate
Mario and sonic showed up to Australia and we didn’t bat a fkn eye.
Neobomberman28
That series has been to like that 4 or 5 Olympics now (Winter ones as well).
CureForHomoSapiens
As a Japanese, there is nothing weird in this Olympics
bekindtoanimals
LOL!
Goldenteckel
As a french, hats off to you all for the organization of these games. I hope that we'll do as good for the Olympics held here in 2024.

Thank you and good luck!

oneofthosemeddlingkids
It's been in Odaiba for at least 10 years now, I think. It was in a park first, but then they moved it in front of Diver City, which made it
oneofthosemeddlingkids
look much tinier compared to when it was in the park. Any way, it's a great landmark and if you're in Tokyo and have time to kill: go see it
Admiral27
Odaiba has some cool stuff anyways, its worth it. Use the Yurikamome Line from Shiodome to get there for a nice view
Willybum84
I know, look at running.
LCMcG
Running isn't that weird, it's just walking twice at the same time
PoorSucker
Did you miss walking.
JahNoodles
Right? Who's chasing them? Why do they shoot at the Gods before they run?
Gray365
Warning shot. That's also why they run.
Sheldonian
Why keep lanes when you can push your enemies?
Slayer3k
TheLastBootyBender
The gods know what they did
Donku83
To dodge the lightning obviously

It always makes me wonder how people get into these really niche sports. Like, how do you even get introduced to javelin or hammer throw?
NViousWino
Usual through track and field teams
kablija
Live in a wealthy school district where they have the resources to introduce students to it.
FellaWithUmbrella
As a Finn I got introduced to javelin at school as well as shot put and discus. Hammer throw was probably deemed too dangerous for kids.
Goldenteckel
Depending of the countries, cultures and schooling systems, guidance counseling and testing can play a large part.
fedeColorTerror
I've done this in middle school. They just used to teach it as extra activity in the afternoon. It's pretty popular here in italy
Justsomeoneoutthere
Old friend, knew he wanted to become a Dr. Searched scholarships. Got really good a badminton. Got scholarship.
DoctorCoktopus
That's commitment. Set a goal, find the most efficient path regardless of what it is, execute.

I hear they can fill all the fencing scholarships at Ivy League schools. I don’t know how true it is though.
swellerelk
Fencing is common at "exclusive" private schools to funnel "certain" people to ivy league
DoctorCoktopus
Fencing is hella fun, but kinda pricey as a hobby so yeah makes sense.
