She's like the Godmother, sitting to the side, determining people's fate, spurring them on to greatness. I like that she has stuck around rather than pulling a Djokovic. Go team!
August 1, 20214 yr A Belerusian sprinter looks like she is defecting. After criticizing her team leadership, was told to pack her stuff and go home and taken to the airport. She requested help from Japanese police and it looks like she will be allowed to stay while things sort out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2021/08/01/belarus-sprinter-olympics-tokyo/

After the stunt they pulled forcing the plane to land last year, I hope she takes advantage of one of those defection offers.

Can’t speak to earlier era, equipment and differences in the game. Lol at Sampras. He’s probably my favorite of the modern era but he doesn’t hold a candle to the big 3 or even Borg. He couldn’t do shit on clay. You’re out of your element Donny.
August 1, 20214 yr Yes he was shit on clay but maybe the GOAT on grass. Would be an epic match on hard courts with both in their prime.

August 1, 20214 yr Was this posted earlier in the thread? Because it was literally a "no shit?" moment when I saw on ESPN's website. Bruce Springsteen's daughter is an olympian https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/31923564/olympics-2021-jessica-springsteen-far-more-bruce-daughter

All the fast sprinters are the ones looking like serena williams dressing up for a disco cosplay. i dont understand wearing huge ass earrings, chains, apple watch, and flair in your hairdo while in competition but then again im not an olympian. final question all the sprinters and hurdlers male and female immediately take off their shoes at the end of the race. Are they really uncomfortable? Laced ultra tight?
August 1, 20214 yr That Brazilian girl’s vaults didn’t look the best to me. But I’m just a rando on a couch.
August 1, 20214 yr Yeah, that was a whole lot of meh from everyone. Can’t imagine many Gold winners in that sport land OB.
August 2, 20214 yr I'm not sure what it's for, but I want to see someone hit the little remote control car driving around out in the sector during the hammer throw.

August 2, 20214 yr That bit in the high jump final today was fantastic. Had no idea that competitors could make the call on splitting the gold.

August 2, 20214 yr Gabrielle Thomas looks like what I would imagine a real world Wonder Woman looks like.
August 2, 20214 yr Gabby Thomas…what a good looking young lady….running the 200M….Harvard grad and working on her masters at UT. Need a pic.

I may be mistaken, but I think it's a robot to take the throwing implement (hammer, discus, shot) back to the thrower. I saw it zooming around during the shot put last night
August 2, 20214 yr Who would have thought the high jump and the 100 m would both be coming home Rome? Quote Jacobs is the son of an Italian mother and an African American father. His father was a United States Army soldier serving at Caserma Ederle in Italy. Jacobs was born in El Paso, Texas, where he spent the first eighteen months of his life.

August 2, 20214 yr wondering if Camacho-Quinn ends up making more money as a Puerto Rico gold winner vs running as an American and getting a gold. I guess she will be a hero in PR, but not sure that matters since she lives in the US. Edited August 2, 20214 yr by AUS-97HORN

August 2, 20214 yr camacho-quinn is a badass. her two runs tonight were awesome. gabby thomas is absolutely gorgeous.
August 2, 20214 yr Hey Nigeria, you came really close to medaling. Maybe you would’ve gotten there if you didn’t have those big pom poms of hair on your head. There’s a reason male swimmers shave all the hair off their legs and chests. It reduces drag. I can’t help but think the fashion statement probably added a tenth of a second or two to your time. The American silver medalist had her hair pulled back sleek and tight.
