Olympics: Athletics/track & field

[Uncle Rotter]

She's 24, plenty of time to win gold medals. Maybe at the 4X100 relay already. Or does she run the 200 meters?

Didn't make the team

 

[PCSPounder]

Crouser/Kovacs go 1-2 for the third Olympics in a row. Pretty impressive.

Ryan Crouser… first man to win 3 straight, world record holder, also two straight world championships. Not bad for a lad from Boring, Oregon.

 

[Stylizer1]

Andre Degrasse gets into the semi's in the 100m. Pretty bad start. It's like the guy shooting the starters pistol was trying to get a false start.

Seville with a strong showing in the 100 meter semifinal.

All the non-100 meter dash runners have to be wtfing at the hype the 100 meters is getting pre-starting gun.

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I can't imagine a race at any other Summer Olympics has been decided by such a razor thin margin?

 

[GKJ]

His foot got to the line, but the announcers are gonna see the head get down first.

 

[John Price]

USA gold medalists for the first time in 20 years, in 100m
