One thing I wonder about the Olympics is when you get these incredibly rich superstars, do they stay in the same shared accommodation as the others? Do they catch the same bus to the venue and eat in the same canteen? Or do they do their own thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly because they are so tall and big of course. Ronaldinho stayed at the Olympic village, partly because he wanted to boink as many female athletes as possible. Think Lindsey Vonn stayed in a house of her own at her latest Olympic while the rest of the US alpine team lived in the village. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2021 Poor on the men's BMX coverage as they cut to the studio after highlights of the semi finals before returning to the final, and the last thing the daft woman (didn't catch her name) says is that the British guy has done really well to get silver. There went the tension for the final! No idea why they didn't just show all the coverage together, then go back to the studio after. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 British Boxer Ben Whittaker says he has 2 ambitions. He wants to win a gold and become Mayor of Wolverhampton. How much evidence do we need that repeated blows to the head can impair cognitive ability? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Pretty amazing from the Jamaican long jumper Tajay Gayle who injured his knee in the first jump, then had a completely failed attempt in the second jump where he injured himself even more. Looked like he was going to have to retire from the competition but somehow he managed to get his leg bandaged up enough to the able to do a third jump even thou he could hardly walk and managed to do 8.14 to qualify for the final. No idea if he'll be able to take part in the final but heart of a lion on that guy who was one the favorites ahead of the qualifications.

Pretty sure the jury would have removed that result but someone would have missed out on the euphoria of the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
