Beat the Yanks again

all countries do, retard

Does yours have a golden nose, nobhead?

How much did those two stickers cost at the local sign writers?

make it stop

>tfw scared of planes even though the statistical chance of anything bad happening is so miniscule and is proven

>boeing 747
>cant afford an airbus

lmfao

Being scared of planes is just so non-nonsensical to me that I can't even begin to understand it. If you're afraid of planes, you might as well be afraid of cars, since those are proven to be more dangerous.

I'm guessing it's more related to a fear of heights or some shit? Just close your eyes or something.

It feels like there's been more planes dropping out of the sky in recent years than ever before tbqh.

>tfw my fear of flying stopped me from pursuing my dreams of becoming a professional athlete

>letting a swimmer fly the plane

Yes...they have a plane promoting the 2024 games in Paris...meh

The Netherlands had a flight for the losers who had to leave after one week so they would not get in the way of the other athletes.
It was called the Loserflight in all media. Not very nice.

Nah ours just has more golden medals

You're sitting on a chair in the sky and going super fast. Your body telling you that something is dangerous is a natural reaction, but most people manage to get over it.

Some people made it work.

How long will britbong and amerifat shitposting fucktards cling on to the Olympics lads?

Did it come back to collect your hockey team?

Savage

Aren't they meant to participate in the closing ceremony?
field hockey*

Hockey. Got a problem with it, go take it up with the international organisations for the sports

Same, I hate it when people say "Oh there's more chance of you being involved in a car crash or a crash while you're on the bus"

Except when a car or bus crashes you have pretty good chances of surviving. When a plane crashes you can pretty much guarantee than everyone on board is going to be killed.

When I think "car crash" I think "one dead, several injured while the fire brigade had to cut somebody out of the wreck"

When I think "plane crash" I think "All 300 passengers dead, many bodies yet to be identified"

maybe you should just stop being a huge fanny, m8

>Fédération Internationale de Hockey sur Gazon (English: International Hockey Federation)
>French: sur gazon (on grass)
>English: just hockey
Nice try, but no

Wow rude

Even taking that into consideration flying is still statistically much safer due to the very low number of accidents on commercial flights.
The number of car crashes is enough that the death toll is much higher >per capita.

Women only flights? Seems not PC bro

>hockey
>no ice

I expect you to get the games. 100 years. I expect Amsterdam to get them in 2028 for the same reason. No apologies for taking them in London, by the way. If safety concerns and bribes give the games to Los Angeles, however...

I doubt the'yll have to straight summer OGs in Europe at this point.
Yeah they're doing it in Asia but it's the Winters and nobody wants those.

I wonder which country has the highest plane crashes per capita.

They should get a gold medal. It's probably one of those archipelago nations where you have to take a boat or fly to each island in a shitty propeller aircraft that isn't properly maintained.

Cars have the illusion of control. In a plane you're at the pilot's and nature's mercy.

wtf I love klm now

His knee is touching buttons.

No doubt they'd try and give 2024 to africa after getting it to south america this time

Should have let this absolute madman fly it

Sick plane liveries thread?

2024 is already between 4 finalist cities, 3 Euros and a Burger.
Africa actually has bids (plural) for 2028.

Rome or Paris would be good for 2024

They will give it to South Africa in 2028, I can see that

>Africa actually has bids (plural) for 2028.
they don't since bidding won't start before 2019. all you have is a list of cities that may potentially bid to host the 2028 olympics

No offense to Americans, but I really hope LA doesn't win, or we'll have 5 consecutive Olympics in a row with shitty event times for Europeans

Fair distinction.

>consecutive in a row
I'm a moron

>we'll have 5 consecutive Olympics in a row with shitty event times for Europeans

London 2012?

Most of Europe is only 1 or 2 hours ahead of London

>yfw the plane crash

a absolute disgrace, fuck that Maurits Hendriks. He really showed that he is not qualified as a 'chef de mission'

>2016 SA
>2018 Az
>2020 Az
>2022 Az
>2024 NA
His math checks out.

Rio, Pyeongchang, Tokyo, Beijing, LA

He's including winter olympics. The next 3 are all in east asia

Ah shit, I misread his comment. I thought he was implying that the last 5 olympics were shitty for Europeans not the next 5

Field hockey developed in the UK, who gives a shit about France and French.

>he includes winter games unironically

I expect Manchester to make a bid at some point, probably not for another 10-20 or so years.

THISSSS
Also, THIS.

no because everyone else is poor compared to us

Same here, could raise the international profile of the city like Barcelona. Manchester's got the main velodrome, after all. Sailing and other watersports could be in Liverpool or the Humber. The international fallout of Brexit will need to subside, too. Plus all this "Northern Powerhouse" bollocks; as if they don't have it good enough already, despite what they like to think.

So, the M62 Olympics.

Step it up

>use orange carpet
>because you know it'll end up being red anyway
Netherlans, yuo are of genius.

>tfw we didn't have to fly back home

£6gorillion and 29 pence

He's legit spasticated too. I reckon he has to wear velcro shoes cos he's still not learned how to tie up laces

You can always return to your awful fucking kickball threads.

Fly with an airline which has never had a crash, like Ryanair

We don't need as much space as you lot do you massive fucking fat hungry hippo

>They will give it to South Africa in 2028, I can see that
I think the IOC will take a careful look at how South Africa manage the Commonwealth Games in 2022 before ever given them the Olympics.

If they never crashed, they're due for one.

Kek. Manchester made something like three bids in a row and was BTFO every time. London makes one and gets it.

It won't come to the UK again in at least 50 years so there's really no point wasting money on a bid.

I don't know, French authorities have proved themselves incompetent many times recently, urban crimes and thefts are a major problem in Paris, and Parisians, besides being rude and a bit autistic, don't want the games and most people in france are whining about it already.

Why would you fly them home on an old and dirty 747?

Cos all the Airbus were in service

Dutch team got a fighter escort

>London makes one

London lost to Sydney and Athens before it won the 2012 bid ya pleb

Did the football team after losing to part time dentists?

No it didn't you daft paki

Edinburgh would be far better than mankchester

Not really. Even Glasgow is better.

absolute false equivalency. if something goes wrong on a plane you can't pull over and stop for help.

in the past few years we've had flights gone missing, planes flown into mountains by a suicidal pilot, and a passenger plane shot out of the sky by a ground missile.

being nervous whilst in an object that is aerodynamically stable in 1 direction only at 30,000 feet is perfectly rational

Nope, our athletes are amateur and the State does not burn money in this dick-measuring contest


Friendly reminder that the Olympics are an amateur competition, Americans and Russians ruined it during the cold war investing millions to defeat each other in sports

How long does a Rio to Paris flight take? :^)

About 10 hours, my black gypsy friend
