sne Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 3 days of Olympic athletics and still no gold for the US. They'll get there no doubt but considering which events has already been decided it's a chock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hmmm Zarnel Hughes said he had cramp in his left calf, causing his false start… I’m not convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go for the big one again after the first fall was awesome. I was just about to go to bed just as she did that this morning, absolutely incredible performance.

foreveryoung Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Absolutely amazing performance from Charlotte Worthingtom. Coulda just gone easy on that second run for the bronze, but went for it, an it was incredible for the gold. American bottled it, you could see pressure got to her, gold was hers for the taking. Mens BMX is ridiculous. Edited August 1, 2021 by foreveryoung 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Guess this years Lindsey Jacobellis award goes to Aidan Walsh Quote Irish boxer Aidan Walsh out of Olympics after he injured ankle celebrating win Walsh hurt his ankle celebrating QF win Walsh reached the semifinal match after beating Mauritius’ Merven Clair in the quarterfinals. After he was given the win, though, Walsh started a wild celebration. He jumped up and down multiple times and then landed awkwardly on his ankle. He was later seen leaving the arena in a wheelchair. The Irish team said that Walsh injured his ankle, but only said that he did so during the fight. His ankle wasn’t an issue until after his win. https://sports.yahoo.com/irish-boxer-aidan-walsh-out-tokyo-olympics-after-he-injured-ankle-celebrating-win-034404157.html Edited August 1, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistimed the run up and had a poor second jump and still broke the WR It was incredible she was so low on the middle phase, I thought she’d fluffed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Also a thing that is happening in these Olympics, is that South Korean incels are demanding the country's archery association remove the gold medals won by a Korean archer because she has short hair, and also they've made up something about her being a misandrist, so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 It's completely stupid. It's part of a wider 'battle of the sexes' politics that is emerging in Korea, as a very traditionally male-oriented society is coming to terms with women having greater power, wealth and independence than before, but as so often when you put things like this into context, nine times out of ten 'the context' is just more of the same shit.
