AUSTRALIA'S KAYLEE MCKEOWN - QUEEN OF THE BACKSTROKE

Earlier this year, backstroke queen Kaylee McKeown got close to her own 100m backstroke world record at the 2024 NSW State Championships. Clocking in at 57.57 seconds, she was just shy of her world best 57.33 which she swam in 2023. She now owns all six fastest times in history in the 100m backstroke.

McKeown also became world champion in the 50m,100m, and 200m backstroke in 2023 and she is the reigning Olympic champion at 100m and 200m backstroke (the 50m is not an event at the Olympic Games). McKeown holds the world records in all three backstroke disciplines and will be a strong favourite at the Olympics. Can she beat her own records again this summer?

UNSTOPPABLE 'MONDO' DUPLANTIS HAS BROKEN THE WORLD RECORD EIGHT TIMES

It seems that the name Armand Duplantis has become synonymous with the words ‘world record’ these days. The Swedish pole vault sensation has broken the world record eight times, his most recent being a 6.24m jump at the opening Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season in Xiamen. He has the highest jumps in history, and was a massive 15 centimetres above the rest of the field at the last 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships.

Duplantis broke his first world record in February 2020, soaring above France's Renaud Lavillenie's almost-six-year-old mark with a jump of 6.17m (20 ft 3 in). A week later, on 15 February in Glasgow, he increased the record by another centimetre. Since then, he has been untouchable, flying higher and higher away from the rest of the field.

See all of Duplantis's record-breaking vaults below:

8 February, 2020 - 6.17 metres
15 February, 2020 - 6.18 metres
7 March, 2022 - 6.19 metres
20 March, 2022 - 6.20 metres
24 July, 2022 - 6.21 metres
25 February, 2022 - 6.22 metres
17 September, 2023 - 6.23 metres
21 April, 2024 - 6.24 metres

As usual, the reigning world and Olympic champion will be the one to beat at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. The question is, can Duplantis beat his biggest competition - himself?

THE RACE IS ON TO DETHRONE TRACK LEGEND FLO-JO IN THE WOMEN'S 200M

The women’s 200m has not been broken since 1988 when track and field legend Flo-Jo (Florence Griffith Joyner) ran 21.34 seconds.

However, at the World Athletics Championships 2023, Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson came dangerously close, crossing the finish line at 21.41 seconds, the second-fastest time ever in the women's 200m.

The rest of the pack is close behind as well, with Elaine Thompson-Herah (21.53s) and Gabrielle Thomas (21.60s) as the third and fourth fastest in history.

Could Paris 2024 see the end of Flo-Jo’s reign?

WEIGHTLIFTING: USA'S HAMPTON MORRIS AND MORE

At the 2024 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Cup in Thailand, USA Weightlifting’s Hampton Morris made history by breaking the senior weightlifting world record at 61 kgs with a clean and jerk lift of 176 kilograms (388 pounds). This was the first time in 55 years that an American man set a senior world weightlifting record.

Morris's record was among the highlights of the World Cup, which saw various world records broken across both the men's and women's divisions. Performances like these give excited fans a glimpse of what to expect in Paris...

SAM WATSON BREAKS SPEED CLIMBING WORLD RECORD TWICE WITHIN ONE HOUR

Sam Watson’s introduction to the sport climbing world was as lightning fast as his accent up the wall. At a recent World Cup event in China, he not only established himself as the one to beat in Paris but also shattered records in the process.

In April, 18-year-old Watson broke the world record not just once, but twice within the span of an hour. In his first run, he flew up the 15-metre (49-foot) wall in just 4.85 seconds, then did it in 4.79 seconds in his second run. The previous world record of 4.90 had been held by Indonesia's Veddriq Leonardo, who was the first man to break the five-second barrier.

At the most recent World Cup event in Salt Lake City in May 2024, Watson, the 2023 Panamerican Games champion, finished just short of yet another record, winning the speed title with 4.89 seconds. But Watson is just getting started. He now looks to break the record again, this time on the Olympic stage.

As one of the most decorated athletes entering Paris, Katie Ledecky stands to expand on her already remarkable legacy. With just one more gold medal, she could equal Jenny Thompson's record for the most Olympic titles won by an American woman. With two gold medals she could become the woman with the most Olympic golds in swimming. And by winning three titles, Ledecky could become the woman to win the most Olympic gold medals in any sport.

Leal was beaten to street skateboarding gold in Tokyo by fellow 13-year-old Momiji Nishiya of Japan but her silver was enough to turn the prodigious Brazilian talent into a national icon.

In Paris, Leal will again have to fight off the dominant Japanese

For Japan in women's street, the three spots in Paris were landed by

World No. 1Coco Yoshizawa(14 years old),

2023 X Games silver medalistLiz Akama(15 years old), and

Olympic bronze medalistFuna Nakayama(19 years old)

Missing out were

reigning Olympic gold medalistMomiji Nishiya, 16, finished fifth among Japanese skaters and will miss the chance to defend her title.

Reigning world championYumeka Oda, 17, will also miss out despite being ranked No. 5 in the world.

Arisa was born and raised Australia, also has a Japanese mother, Aiko

On 23 June 2023, during Tony Hawk's event in Salt Lake City, Arisa became the first female skateboarder to successfully execute a 720 trick in a competition; the trick involves completing two full rotations in mid-air.

trick was made famous by professional skateboarderTony Hawk, who first performed it in 1985

On May 29th, 2024, Trew became the first female skateboarder to land a900, a 2½-revolution(900 degrees)aerial spin

It is considered one of skateboarding's most technically demanding tricks. While airborne, the skateboarder makes two-and-a-half turns about their longitudinal axis, thereby facing down when coming down.

Was first done in 1999 by Tony Hawk,after ten failed attempts

In his book, the 900 was last on the wish-list of tricks Hawk had written down a decade earlier

It's only been done like 15 times in history

Tom Schaar had not attempted his final run, yet the celebrations had already started

The US park skateboarder had entered the men’s final at the Olympic Qualifier Series Budapest with one job: finish higher than third place.

In doing so, he would overtake Jagger Eaton in the World Rankings, be among the top three skaters from the US, and secure a spot for Paris 2024.

It was a tall order. In a heat stacked with the best in park skateboarding pushing each other at every inch, it would require the very best of Schaar. Having had a mixed set of results across the road to Paris, under the baking Hungarian sun, Schaar needed to give everything.

And everything he gave.

Just as he had done in the previous contest stages, the vert history-maker stormed his opener to climb straight to the top of the medal table with a score of 93.48

In his second run attempt, Schaar threw in upgrades to see his score rise to 94.46. It had looked unsurpassable until Olympic champion Keegan Palmer responded with a 94.94.

It was then, for Schaar, a matter of waiting. The field came and went, and no one challenged his score.

1 Keegan
2 Schaar

Schaar qualifies

Brown, who spends much of her time in California but competes for Great Britain, will once again be a gold medal threat

Japan has six of the top-10 skaters in women's street (only 3 allowed per country)

reigning Olympic gold medalist Momiji Nishiya, 16, finished fifth among Japanese skaters and will miss the chance to defend her title. Reigning world champion Yumeka Oda, 17, will also miss out despite being ranked No. 5 in the world. World No. 1 Coco Yoshizawa (14 years old), 2023 X Games silver medalist Liz Akama (15 years old), and Olympic bronze medalist Funa Nakayama (19 years old) landed the three spots in Paris.

Jun 24 Budapest - Fourteen-year-old Coco Yoshizawa booked her ticket to the Paris Games as she led a Japanese podium sweep in the women's street skateboarding final of the Olympic Qualifier Series in Budapest on Sunday.

With a place at the games on the line, Yoshizawa leapt from fourth to first place by nailing her final trick of the competition in the Hungarian capital. She totaled 270.29 points to edge reigning world champion Yumeka Oda on 268.52, with Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Funa Nakayama scoring 263.62 for third.

Liz Akama, who clinched her Olympic spot in the previous day's semifinal, earned 262.50 for fourth.

One of the fastest-rising women in the American street skating scene, 16 year old Paige Heyn of Arizona

She's among the first to bring switch rail tricks to street competition, helping her emerge as the top-ranked skater set to represent USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics in July 2024.

Through her particularly innovative approach, Heyn is now one of the best switch skaters in the women’s skateboarding field along with Chloe Covell (AUS) and the difficulty of what she often executes is highly rewarded by the judges when she competes.

Skating, or riding, switch, is when a skateboarder leads with their dominant foot rather than have it at the back of the board, meaning their non-dominant foot is the one dictating the movement.

“I kept working at it and now, I’m like one of the only girls doing it.”


Back in December, Heyn thought it was game over. She fractured her ankle during a competition in Tokyo. She went into rehab and just a mere three months later, she was back on the board, learning to skate again

Before that, Heyn found herself struck by a small fracture at the top of the knee that brought about a halt to the American’s progress and forced her out of action for the best part of six weeks.

in men's street
Japan has five of the top-10 skaters +only 3 can qualify per country)

2020 Tokyo
Gold - Yuto Horigome, Japan
Silver - Kelvin Hoefler, Brasil
Bronze - Jagger Eaton, USA

Yuto Horigome, the reigning Olympic and X Games champion in men's street, was one rider on the bubble throughout qualifying despite his success. The 25-year-old was part of a Japanese podium sweep at the 2023 World Championships, placing third behind countrymen Sora Shirai and Kairi Netsuke. Horigome and Shirai ultimately made the cut for Paris, while Netsuke did not. They'll be joined on the Olympic team by world No. 1 Ginwoo Onodera, a 14-year-old prodigy who broke onto the scene with a third-place finish at 2022 Worlds and a win at X Games Japan last year

Jun 24 Budapest - Japan swept the men's street podium. Onodera would finish the day in second and will head into Paris 2024 as the world No.1. Sharai capped off the Japanese men’s sweep with the bronze

The gold was won by Horigome Yuto , who with his victory did the seemingly impossible by vaulting two spots up his country’s rankings to claim the third and final Japanese spot for Paris .

an opportunity to defend his Tokyo 2020 gold medal had looked to be beyond the grasp of the 25-year-old for months in the lead-up to the OQS

In order to earn his ticket to Paris 2024, Horigome needed a win on Sunday and for his compatriot Netsuke to finish below fourth place

After putting down the best scoring run of the first portion of the competition with a 90.26, Horigome took things up another level for the best tricks, with his nollie hardway 270 bluntslide to forward earning him 97.10 and putting an exclamation point on a heroic performance.

Horigome would finish with a total score of 283.31 out of a possible 300.

The Prodigy: Ginwoo Onodera

at different times; a new-gen talent who seems to have skipped the learning years and arrived fully-formed at cutting-edge pro standard. The arrival of one of these talents is usually a signal that skateboarding is about to take another quantum leap, and the middle ranks of the preceding generation are about to be ghosted from the game as a result.That talent today is Japan’s Ginwoo Onodera.

Jagger Eaton cements status as skateboarding's preeminent dual threat
After earning a bronze medal in men's street at the last Olympics — with a broken ankle, no less — Eaton continued his success in that discipline by winning the 2021 Street League Super Crown Championship a few months later. On the park side, he won his first world title in 2023 and has nabbed a pair of X Games gold medals in recent years.

Eaton's success in both disciplines confirmed his status as one of the most versatile skaters in the world and had him uniquely positioned to become the first skater to qualify in park and street at the same Olympics. At the final qualifying event, however, Tom Schaar was able to usurp Eaton for Team USA's third and final Olympic spot in men's park with a second-place finish. Eaton, therefore, will only compete in the street contest in Paris

One of the most successful professional skateboarders of all time, Nyjah Huston, is still a top contender in men's street

Since the Tokyo Games, however, Huston has had to deal with the most significant injury of his storied career. In August 2022, he tore the ACL in his right knee . Huston returned to competition seven months later and ended up winning a pair of World Skate events in 2023, proving that — despite the injury — the U.S. star is still one of the favorites for Olympic gold in men's street

When is there ever "hype" about Olympics? The whole point of it is that people get into watching sports they never think about, except for a brief window every 4 years. It isn't about anticipation, but about comfyness and the "hype" in the moment as events unfold and the medal table takes shape. Retard

Only thing I watch regularly on NBC is NFL Sunday Night Football and all fall they were hyping you you can get live coverage of any event in Olympics with Peacock

Before streaming they would pretty much go into Olympics 24/7, showing you their choice of best live events, which would be stuff like equestrian sometimes

Then starting at 7pm for primetime they show a repeat on tape delay for people who missed it live

Any news shows they put on during Olympics go into full Olympics mode to were they have the athletes that won medals come on. Same with the late night talk shows

NOVAK DJOKOVIC PURSUES THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Novak Djokovic will return to the Olympic for a fifth time in pursuit of his first Olympic gold medal.

He has made it to the Olympics men’s singles semifinals on three occasions, but has yet to play in the Olympic final. He’s won at Roland Garros before, including a French Open title in 2023, but he’ll face stiff competition at Paris 2024.

Djokovic will need to be at his best if he encounters 14-time French Open winner Rafael Nadal or 2024 French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz on his way to the final at Roland Garros

FREESTYLE 200m, 400m, 800m freestyle

Ariarne Titmus (age 23): Breakthrough and rivalry with Katie Ledecky (age 27)

Her big breakthrough came at the 2019 World Championships. The Australian took gold in the 400m freestyle, ending Katie Ledecky's six-year unbeaten run in the event. Titmus added silver in the 200m freestyle and bronze in the 800m freestyle before guiding Australia to the team victory in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay.

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, she beat Ledecky again in one of the most highly-anticipated meetings of the Games. Ledecky opened up a lead of three-quarters of a body length in the first half of the race, but Titmus soon closed the gap before taking over just before the final turn. And she stayed ahead of the American to touch the wall first and prompt wild celebrations from her coach Dean Boxall in the stands.

WILL ARIARNE TITMUS GIVE HER COACH MORE REASONS TO CELEBRATE IN PARIS?

There are two things Ariarne Titmus excels at: breaking world records and sending her coach, Dean Boxall, into a frenzy.

Titmus announced her presence to the world at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, claiming victory in the women’s 400m freestyle with a then world record time of 3 minutes and 56.69 seconds. Her coach went viral after pulling on the rails and pumping his fists in celebration.

She has continued to give her coach reasons to celebrate, claiming world records in the 200m and 400m freestyle. She is now preparing to defend both of her Olympic titles at Paris 2024.

"My favourite is the 400; I feel the most confident racing the 400. It's the race perfectly made for me, but my focus is still evenly split."

"Even the 800m - I won a silver in Tokyo - so that race is still a focus as well," she said.

At 16 years old, Quincy Wilson will be the youngest American male track athlete to appear at an Olympics when he suits up for the United States at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.

Wilson, a junior at Bullis School outside of Washington, D.C., was added to the 4x400 U.S. relay pool for the Paris Olympics after running under 45 seconds in three separate 400-meter heats at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

Wilson's time of 44.59 in the semifinals broke an under-18 world record that stood for 42 years.

Wilson will be 16 years and 200 days old by the time the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony gets underway.

Team USA has a chance of breaking its own record for the most points scored in an Olympic basketball game. The Americans set the existing record in 2012, when they defeated Nigeria 156-73. Now they’ll have a shot at bettering it when they face South Sudan, the newest country in the world, in the pool stage in Paris. Credit to the Bright Stars for qualifying for their first ever Olympic tournament, but they could be due for a beating. A one-sided matchup awaits.

The Bright Stars’ rise into the world’s limelight is as incredible as it is inspiring. Just in less than four years, the team played impressively, going undefeated to qualify into the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Eventually, the team earned a spot to play in the 2024 Olympics.

It will play again on July 31 versus Team USA

With Bright Star now going for the Olympic tournament, it brings a sense of pride to South Sudanese people

This may be the first time ever South Sudan is participating in an Olympic tournament, but the country is bound for more Olympic tournaments, again and again.

Three nations dominate the weightlifting disciplines below 89kg: China, North Korea and Indonesia. Athletes from those nations own 14 of the 15 world records within those parameters, but the one they don’t have belongs to 20-year-old American Hampton Morris. Earlier this year, Morris pulled off a 176kg clean and jerk at the IWF world cup, snatching a clean sweep of the records right from Asia’s grasp. At just 20 years of age, Hampton can really only get better

Existing record: 176kg

Potential record breaker: Hampton Morris

It’s also worth keeping an eye on Li Fabin of China, Ri Won-Ju of North Korea and Rizki Juniansyah of Indonesia, who all also set world records at this year’s world cup, which was obviously quite the meet.

I watched that one. Even he looked surprised he pulled it off. Like maybe he hadn't actually done those weights in training before.

Who is carrying the Olympic torch through Paris? A BTS star, a garbage collector and more

About 10,000 people were chosen to carry the flame across France from the southern city port of Marseille, where it arrived on May 8, to the opening ceremony on July 26. Many are athletes. Others were picked because they represent art, culture and gastronomy

The torch made its grand entrance in Paris for Bastille Day on Sunday

Late on Sunday, Ludovic Franceschet, a local garbage collector, brought the flame inside Paris City Hall, where it spent the night under high protection. Franceschet, who seeks to raise environmental awareness with hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, seized the occasion to remind residents and visitors to put their trash in bins.

Among the torchbearers who attracted the most attention was K-Pop icon Jin, a member of the band BTS, who carried it Sunday evening in front of the Louvre.

FREEEEEEDOM!

“I got super emotional,” BMX world champion Matthias Dandois said after carrying the torch in front of the Eiffel Tower. ”I’m from Paris, and I grew up playing so much sport and watching the Olympics, and it was a dream to be a part of it.”

Anyone who fights with agents isn't really the person you want in that position.
Doesn't matter if you were right or not.
What is really scary is they have a file on you if they claim you haven't.
