August 9, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, Fudge Nuggets said: Fucking shit handoffs. Can we not practice that shit? Apparently, no. No, we do not ever practice handoffs at fucking all for our relays. That's fucking embarrassing - just spend a few hours on it in the weeks beforehand and we'd have gold. But no, we're just going to count on pure speed in an event where fumbling around for 3-4 seconds over the race fucks you.
August 9, 20241 yr 6 minutes ago, Fudge Nuggets said: No, the tape some of the runners are wearing when they walk out onto the track. Half of them drop it there at the locker room exit. Thought he was asking about the yellow tape on track, which the US was past on their hand-off. Hence, DQ... sigh.

I don’t think that’s true at all. although at this point spending a few hours in the shrink’s office might be the best use of time.
August 9, 20241 yr Kenny should've ran anchor. You can't switch up two legs for the final. That's asking for disaster. Still probably would've left too early but who knows. Maybe he would've settled down before the stick got to him.
August 9, 20241 yr U.S. needs to just get about four of its strongest sprinters, get them to agree to not run in any of the individual sprints, pay them a princely sum for four years, sequester them, and have them train just for this event. With just a little bit of preparation we'd win every time.
August 9, 20241 yr Just now, Fudge Nuggets said: It made my eyes bleed. I’m half surprised the Chinese didn’t win just to really rub salt in the wounds. Naw - they rack up all their golds in table tennis (4), badminton (2), diving (7) and shooting (5) - you know, where true athletic ability shines ...

Just venting - but if they are practicing, it would seem they are doing it wrong.

With just a little bit of preparation we'd win every time. Was waiting for this. It’s usually the default when this happens but never going to happen. never going to get 4 guys in an individual sport to agree to become a “team” for one event… at least not 4 guys that are fast enough to come close to winning.

August 9, 20241 yr Threw her best javelin, everything was cool, then she did a little bunny hop over the foul line.
August 9, 20241 yr To be clear - she stopped short of the line after an huge throw. While staring at it she deiced to do a bunny hop which went over the line.

August 9, 20241 yr Just tossing this out. Say whatever you want about Lewis but he knew how to win in relays. World record here
August 9, 20241 yr well at least they didn't disappoint us actually win the thing. fucking idiots, the lot of them.

August 9, 20241 yr Wtf did Valby just do? she’s about to run 10,000M and her race was over after 10M nm. Announcer is an idiot Edited August 9, 20241 yr by UTexasFight
August 9, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, UTexasFight said: Wtf did Valby just do? She started way outside on the back, so she should have been on the lower path...the other runner that was right in front of her is the one who screwed up by taking the outside path.
August 9, 20241 yr Were there no prelims for the womens 10K? That is a huge number of runners. Otherwise they just decided that the finals should have 25 or so.
August 9, 20241 yr What just happened there. The lead group comes out of the turn and they have a stretcher and stuff picking someone up in lane 3
August 9, 20241 yr If I am the Italian coach I would consider a protest. That was a marginal block. I don't think it changes the result but the winner moved way outside lane 1 there
August 9, 20241 yr My man Hibbert must have had a slight injury at the end of the triple jump. He was in 4th and didn’t take any of his last three attempts.
August 9, 20241 yr Whats the back story on the 3 ex Cubans that now jump for Spain or Portuagal. Didn't think Cuba allowed athletes to leave.
