I am surprised when stud athletes like you aren’t representing us at the games.  It’s a waste for you to be relegated to typing critiques of olympians.

I'm pretty sure no one has ever confused me with an elite athlete.

All of his throws were good enough for gold.

the ones that weren't faults anyway

Norway has produced Erling Haaland, the Ingebrigtsen brothers, and Karsten Warholm lately, so they got something cooking there.

and the surf photo is the photo of the Olympics, but there’s some good ones of Femke Bol in the rain at the finish line.

 

Bol was a fucking monster coming down the stretch.

The Olympics app has all the details of her split 


she had the fasted leg of the entire lady field. Makes sense, she she was flyin.

McLaughlin ran a faster split at the 2022 worlds.

Dunno why she wasn't in this relay.

The 1500m is the longest sprint

No

Gabby Thomas (who did post-grad in Austin and trains there under Tonja Buford-Bailey) looked good this morning. And by "looked good," I mean she comfortably won her 200m heat ... and flashed that wonderful smile of hers.

(Pic is from Tokyo.)

In related news, Jamaica's Shericka Jackson scratched again. This is terrible news for Jamaica and for the sport in general but great news for Gabby, Julien and Great Britain's Daryll Neita.

 

And because I'm a good man and thorough, here's another Gabby pic.

wtf with the hurdles guy?

I’m trying to figure that out as well

https://sports.yahoo.com/paris-olympics-freddie-crittenden-preliminary-jog-in-110-hurdles-was-all-about-avoiding-injury-131322107.html

Quote

The decision not to run anywhere close to all-out was strategic, Crittenden explained afterward. The 30-year-old didn’t want to risk exacerbating the right abductor muscle aggravation that he sustained the previous day.

Had Crittenden run at top speed, he might have finished top three in his heat and automatically qualified for Wednesday’s semifinals, but he also risked injuring himself too severely to compete any further. This way, he has two days to heal before Tuesday’s repechage round that offers the 110 hurdlers a second chance to advance.

“Obviously the timing is terrible. This is the biggest meet of my life,” Crittenden said. “If there wasn’t a repechage round, I probably would have been balls to the walls, ran as hard as I could, crash and burn, whatever happens. But now I’ve got a couple days, and I’ll do that on Tuesday.”

IMO the men's 100m is the premier event of the entire summer olympics. They should have it on the last night of competition.

Norman looked good in his heat just now. Best I've seen him run in a couple of years. He's been coming back from injury, and to casually crank out a 44.10 is a great indicator of what's to come. (His PB of 43.45 came back in 2019.)

 

EDIT: Commentators just said it's the fastest prelim ever. Like, he looked amazing. Doesn't necessarily translate to the final, but a great sign.

Also, chance to catch two of my favorite islanders in these heats--Stephen Gardiner of the Bahamas and Kirani James of Grenada.

Kirani has the rare distinction of winning every shade of Olympic medal in the 400m--gold in London 2012, silver in Rio 2016, and bronze in Tokyo 2020(21). He likely won't medal this year but he's still an all-timer.

Gardiner is the most fluid 400-meter runner ever. He's the reigning champ but has been dealing with injuries the past two years. Hoping he comes back to form because he's a joy to watch--the Rudisha of the 400m as far as form and fluidity.

400 runners look so damn nice.

 

Norman cruise control there

If I had a girl crush it would be her. It’s not just she is fucking super model gorgeous. She is a champion. A real Wonder Woman. I hope she wins gold. 

 

 What's this "if" bullshit? Just admit you full-throttle want to scissor with her lithe, Ukrainian body.

Womens high jump, long jump, triple jump and pole vault are usually loaded with hotties.

I am fucking sick of Noah Lyles.

He is an asshole. If you just watched. If you want to crown yourself prior to winning you best win. 

Edited by Nicole44

Gotta get outta the gate Lyles. Good heat though

If you are going to talk shit like Lyles, you have to back it up. He’s two for two on being second.
