Olympics Megathread

[MusterX]

That boy Luka is a problem. Slovenia can't win gold with that team, no way but still, they are unbeaten at this point with Germany being the latest victim.

Holy shit!

Wow wtf?! Never seen anything like this! Incredible! Thanks for sharing.

Hubbard failed at the Snatch event...ironic.

Commentary just said that the Jamaican women runners were DQ'd from 400m sprint because of too high testosterone levels, but can still compete at 200m and 100m.

Olympics lol.

 

[mS_?]

How does climbing up on the balance beam give the same score as doing a freaking springboard backflip onto it?

What a dumb sport.

They don't give the same score...

 

[empsim]

They don't give the same score...

Atleast it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

The girls climbing up there like a sack of potatos still managed to get just as good or even better score. Seems weird.

This is one of the greatest races ever.

This one of the greatest races ever.

Historic moments left and right at these games:




Woman drops her last name and changes her pronouns—never forget where you were for this moment in history, gents!

This one of the greatest races ever.

That was so nuts. That acceleration after the last hurdle was just insane. So was the start. You always know you’re watching something special when an athlete catches the lane ahead of them on the curve before the first hurdle

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

There has to be something with that track, those times were unbelievable. That's like someone smashing bolt's record by close to .2 seconds. Just insane. He would've beaten some of the qualifying heats in the 400 proper with him doing hurdles. Crazy.

I think my only rebuttal is that there were obviously 2 guys going at WR pace, but no one else was close.

Going by a mononym isn't that weird in soccer, just in recent years, we've had:

• Alisson
• Neymar
• Marcelo
• Kaka
• Xavi
• Lucio
• Dida
• Cafu

...all of those guys were all-world first team.

Yep, totally normal for a Canadian to do it.

he's a biological male competing against females?

 

[Dr J]

Her name is Rebecca Quinn (I believe) and is female in every biological and hormonal sense. She just cut her hair short, dropped her first name, and changed her pronouns.

Bravery on par with the Spartan 300.

I dont get it.

-Is she a dude that now is a girl playing against women?
-Is she a woman that thinks that she is a dude and should be playing against men(by woke standards) playing against women??

So the USA took Gold and Silver in the pole vault, but you'll only see a Silver.

Here's the gold medalist. Born in Louisiana. Grew up in Louisiana. Trained in Louisiana. Native English speaker. Had to learn Swedish over Skype.
