In the early days of the Tour de France, if you had a geared bicycle, you could smoke a cigarette while winning races.

You can still do that today right?

I think they just dope now.

Makes sense, I wouldn't think athletes would want to smoke cigarettes but assumed it's within the legal framework of the sport

I think they drink beer during darts tournaments.

πŸ˜‚ darts is athletic as chess, it takes skill but I wouldn't call it a sport

They’re sports. I used to be a tournament chess player. Grueling. It’s a sport, maybe not athletic in the cardiovascular sense, but it’s a sport.

I’ve heard people do actually lose a considerable amount. Of weight during those events.

Yup. Your brain is on overdrive for 3-5 hours straight. It’s the closest feeling to being at war I’ve ever had.

I don't know if there's a difference between a sport and a game, maybe just the level of intensity

It’s a spectrum of skill and chance. I wouldn’t call Roulette a sport, but there is good argument for considering Poker a sport.

Like an exceptio like nly node runners can open a channel.. 😝😝

This is the most French photograph ever taken. 🚲🚬

AI-generated. Some of the finer technical details are cringe but it gets the idea across.

Yeah but they really are like this, lol.

I love this photo!

They've moved on from tabs on bicycles to a much healthier stuffing your face with steak, oysters, cheese and wine whilst running a marathon. Vive la difference πŸ˜‚πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ§€πŸ²πŸΎπŸ·πŸ…πŸ†πŸƒπŸƒ
