Closing Ceremony:

Biles!
I didn't need our anthem for a 41st time.
The Tom Cruise segment was cooler than I would have guessed.
I like the athlete (I assume) who grabbed and kissed him. She'll have a story for all time.

I guess I'm not PC enough :oops:

A woman forcibly kissed Tom Cruise at the Olympic closing ceremony. Now it has sparked a consent debate



:think: Him too?

Viral Olympian Raygun ranked No. 1 breaker in the world by sport’s governing body

:o :laughing-rolling:

I hope she's figured out a way to get rich off of this because her 15 minutes won't last long.

Well, she's got a real job. She has a PhD in Cultural Studies and is a lecturer in the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language and Literature at Macquarie University Faculty of Arts. But yeah, she won't get rich there for a long time. I don't know enough about break(ing)dancing to understand rankings, but something is amiss somewhere if she's #1. Maybe the real best ones don't have their membership cards updated with the "sports governing body."

Raygun retires from breaking after Olympic backlash

Gaining POTUS Trump and losing B-girl Raygun in the same week is almost too much to bear :crybaby:
