You need to get educated. Read what Bacchanalia is and what Greek gods are involved in wine and parties. Geez, bunch of snowflake butt hurt christians who have no clue about what is happening thinking it is all about their one and " true" religion being mocked. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH LAST SUPPER OR CHRIST you morons.

I'd have lot to say as bachelor of cultural studies, but as this is Olympics thread I won't dive into the politics/religion rabbit hole any more. If I'll come back with a slash, it'll be on organisers with this triathlon case and 1,5 billion investment to clean Seine... Like there is no other waters in France to have that triathlon open water swim on
The English channel is probably the closest, 80 years after D Day they could have the triathlon down at Normandy. The French would be at a disadvantage on the beach tho. As my great uncle said after a holiday to France in the 80s, he was complaining about needing a visa and passport controls, he said "last time I came to France in 44 there wasn't one ****ing Frenchmen on the beach to greet me."
Looping that bridge for the start- finish line has to be one of the most picturesque scene in sports though.
Sometimes the beauty is worth it, didn’t know it’s that expensive though.
Synchronize diving ‘s a weird one to me.
Why only for diving?
Why not synchronize gymnastic, walking, running, cycling, swimming, skateboarding, etc.
What makes diving so unique that you need a separate synchronization discipline?

It's odd to watch, but very impressive. Those others you listed are far easier to synchronize. But I always start laughing when I watch it. I think it just started as water dancing and progressed to this.
Side note I jokingly started synchronized Olympic weightlifting at my old gym. It was very entertaining for awhile. Watched some low level NFL guys come up with some entertaining lifts together. It gotten taken too far and some athletes we're putting themselves in position to get hurt so I had to pull the plug.
It’s just weird that they get to double dip on the medals.. haha..
Another of my pet peeve is there are wayyyy too many swimming medals.. it really lopsided the medal totals imo..
I mean do you really need a medal for 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, etc?
Compare that to say basketball or soccer where you play all the games for 2 weeks just for ONE medal.
