The 2024 Summer Olympic Games begin in Paris today (7/26/24), and I’m quite looking forward to seeing various events. For example, how the hell do you score breakdancing, and are they planning on using the Seine for the 10lm marathon swim?
Anyway, it ought to be worth watching.
So here we have a sextet (hurr hurr, he said ‘sex’) of characters from various nations getting ready for some of the events (clockwise from top left):
Xavier, representing Spain in men’s weightlifting (xenokeryx)
Boris Springer, representing Rain Island in men’s marathon (beagle)
Sylvia DiPantera, representing the USA in women’s volleyball (tigress)
Ray Cloud, representing Rain Island in men’s karate (rabbit)
Fadhila Membe, representing Tanzania in women’s gymnastics (giraffe)
Mei Lin, representing Taiwan in women’s basketball (Dragon Li)
