Olympics: Athletics/track & field

[Stylizer1]

I'm ecstatic that Canada won the men's 4x100 relay - but I also love Noah Lyle's trash talking. It's hilarious and fun and entertaining. I can't believe how uptight some people are over it.

I find it funny how he talks a big game and loses and gets wheeled of because of covid. lol Had he had won he would have talked to everyone who would listen.

I believe that the only man now with more Olympic sprint medals than DeGrasse is Usain Bolt.

 

[GKJ]

That shit with hopping on the line in the heptathlon is bullshit

He has 7, Bolt has 8, Lewis has 6.

Pretty good company for a guy who's not fast.

Canada gets silver at the 800M final

 

[Jussi]

Maria Andrejczyk is too distracting...

 

[Jussi]

Russell wins a close women's 100 meter hurdles. French silver.

 

[Jussi]

Kerr wins high jump gold in jump-off.

 

[Jussi]

McLaughlin-Levrone vs Bol one more time.

 

[BMOK33]

LOL I don't think either guy wanted to share gold anyway but funny that if US were to win ladies relay as well as both bballs, and ladies vball tomorrow that'll cost them the gold total with China as China should end with 40, US could have won

 

[John Price]

Americans ate and leaving no crumbs so far in the 4x400m

 

[Jack Straw]

Sydney is not human

 

[Jussi]

USA wins, Bol gets Holland up to silver.

 

[GKJ]

USA distances the field in 4x400m

 

[Jussi]

Sydney is not human

Ran her part in 47.70...

 

[Jack Straw]

Ran her part in 47.70...

WR is 47.60. Set in 1985.

Edit: 47.70 would be the 3rd fastest time ever.

Those guys have 8 and 6 golds. Degrasse has 1 gold in an induvidual race. Bolt has 6 golds, Carl Lewis has 4 golds. You can only beat who you race against but that doesn't mean his times are great. Yes, he is fast, but 23 time people have run faster that the mark he made at the Tokyo Olympics.

That was a lot of words to say you agree that he is, in fact, fast.

Also, greatness is showing up on the day. The Olympics is by far the biggest stage, and he shows up. S

So he is both a fast and great sprinter.

Women’s marathon had kind of a nuts finish

Obviously he is fast he made the Olympics but compared to the others he is not.

I still don't think he's fast. Had he matched his fastest time in the finals he would have still been last. At 29 he should still be at his peak. Oblique Seville's personal best was 9.81 and he finished last.

You are having a faciniating debate with yourself.
