Tegis Posted August 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2021 Fine margins in a jump that was either a gold or silver in length. Without it Tobias Montler finished 7th. ouuuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Luka Doncic and his Slovenian buddies drinking booze and partying in the Olympic village. They are still in the basketball tournament. No way will they throw out such a huge star from the tournament, sponsors and TV companies would not have it, interesting to see how they handle it.

Such a strange choice as an Olympic code as it’s basically stand there and kick each other. I'm hoping the debut of Kumite and Kata are far more entertaining. Cobra Kai has got me excited for what could be the only Olympic Karate tournament ever held . The fact that it's in Japan is the cherry on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted August 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Warholm 45,94!!!!!!!!!!! edit: yeah, the above. Benjamin too for that matter. What a race Edited August 3, 2021 by Tegis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Fantastic race by Warholm in the 400m hurdles. 45,94, first runner under 46 seconds and breaking his own newly set WR with 0.76 seconds. A case in the new shoes (and new track) development changing the sport is that all 3 medalist ran faster than the Kevin Young WR (46,78) that had stood for 30 years before Warholm broke it. Times they are a-changing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they just gave out their new shoes to their athletes apparently. Mondo Duplantis decided not to use them at the Olympics, guess he's not used to them enough to feel comfortable yet. Having shoes with a carbon plate that acts as a spring is just wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 This Russian fellow Kuznetsov looks a bit different from most of the other divers. Not sure I've seen anyone in diving with double head tattoos and a big beard. Don't watch diving so might be all the rage for all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a race Absolutely ridiculous - the third place guy missed Warholm's "old" WR by 0.02 seconds and he was miles* behind the first two! * - not literally.
