Tokyo Olympics
Comments

there was a lot less testing last year, so it was a good year to dope.
But that track in Tokyo looks like at the edges of the rules on speed, and its a warmer Olympics then London and Rio0 -
There is probably quite a small sample size for that national record as well.Is 4 seconds off the 1500m more extraordinary than the Italian in 100m who had never broken 10 seconds before April and ran a 9.80 in the olympics?1

This is and amazing performance so far in the madison3

We're smashing this madison. Can't live with us.0

I have never seen anyone smash a Maddison like this....0

That was ridiculously dominant, like Man City beating mid table sides 3-0 every week0
-
Wow!
Archibald & Kenny absolutely smashed that.
Brilliant 🤩⭐️⭐️🤩2 -
Yeah, a lot of colleges also rely on donations from alumni. Some crazy figures in donations from rich ex-students.Rothko said:
You’ll know this better then me, but Big10 colleges for example make the money through American Football and Basketball, be that tickets or sponsors, and the crumbs drop down, suspect Lacrosse and Football are now above Track and Field in that chasing the crumbsValleyGary said:
Michael Johnson made some good points on BBC. Was saying the collegiate funding has decreased and T&F not bringing in the revenue that football and basketball does, they’re the first to feel the pinch. He also said there’s no actual real excuse for how poor the experienced athletes have performed.NapaAddick said:ValleyGary said:USA athletes are having a shocker
Yeah we need to replace the leadership there and in women's football. Worst USA track and field Olympics for us I can remember.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s so good, but Laura Kenny does it for me. What a woman.3

Great camera shots looking backwards from Carlin, showing how ridiculously steep the banking is1

Cruel watching the Modern Pentathlon. German rider who was in first place just lost any chance of a medal as her horse refused to jump the fences. Seems a bit unfair that they get assigned random horses. The German might be in a bit of trouble too, she didn't take too kindly to the horse doing her over!0

She was caught smooching Mr Kenny, I think it was at the beach volley ball in horse guards?PrincessFiona said:

He wasn't, at the time, the current Mr Trott. To be honest I have no idea if there was a current partner.0 -
Didn't happen, according to Laura and her parents.MrOneLung said:

GB are top of the cycling medal table so although we haven't won as many Gold's as previous Olympic's I wouldn't say it's been as bad as some are making out.4

Just saw that, that was heartbreaking. That horse had destroyed the chances of a Russian competitor earlier, so she was probably fearing the worstcafcfan1990 said:Cruel watching the Modern Pentathlon.

53 medals overall, a couple of days to go and two boxers guaranteed at least silver which aren't in the total yet. This is a very, very good Olympics and we shouldn't let the fact that the last two were better disguise that.12

Yeah, she looked to be giving the poor horse a bit of a hiding.cafcfan1990 said:Cruel watching the Modern Pentathlon.

Kate French from Gravesend is the Olympic Champion in the Modern Pentathlon. Superb effort5

I'm evil because I was smiling a bit. Only at first, when she was sobbing I realised I was being a knob. The Brit was a long way behind and has just won the gold, but a decent jumping round from the German and not sure she would have.killerandflash said:

Super impressive in the laser run, she looked so cool out there0

Same thing happened for the Uzbek and Irish competitors (who both rode Constantin, who refused fences for both riders).killerandflash said:

Looking at the German rider's experience, you have to question the selection of the horses for the event, imagine trying to just start your round and the horse refusing (losing a quarter of your allotted time).0 -
The modern pentathlon will change dramatically for Paris. It'll be done and dusted in 90 minutes apparently.0

Felt for the German , hard watching her in tears.
The thing is though those in the modern pentathlon now if that horse doesn't go no matter whatever they do in the other events its game over.
Horrible watch, but if these athletes want to spend 4 years training to be let down by a horse good luck to them.0 -
