Olympics and Paralympics

[sharp skiff]

all of us this morning lol

man the discuss throwing is so impressive, the arms on these women, unreal

[last pulsar]

They could crush me like a twig and I’d say thank you

[silk zephyr]

Why is Eurosport not showing me the hot women

I’m starting to get excited for the paralympics now

[last pulsar]

When does that start?

[silk zephyr]

28th August

[last pulsar]

Wow what are we supposed to do in between…

[silk zephyr]

Recover?

[scarlet cedar]

football season starts… 👀

[last pulsar]

Oh no I can’t get into football I don’t have the emotional capacity 😭

[scarlet cedar]

are you sure 😂

[sharp skiff]

the mens pole-vaulter from Norway is very handsome

[limber lotus]

of all the reasons i've heard, this one checks out

[silk zephyr]

It’s also just a bad sport?

[limber lotus]

i'm already watching preseason tho lbr

[scarlet cedar]

this is an opinion, not a fact

[silk zephyr]

I mean I didn’t say it was a fact

[sharp skiff]

and the Croatian discus thrower is intimidating af

[silk zephyr]

Go on Kamga

[limber lotus]

chinese thrower going in glasses, slay

love the pink too

[silk zephyr]

I love her earrings

[sharp skiff]

THERES MY GIRL GABBY THOMAS!!!!

SHES SO PRETTY

[limber lotus]

dina ❤️

[silk zephyr]

GO ON DINA

[limber lotus]

woooooooooo

[silk zephyr]

she doesn’t look happy with it

[limber lotus]

she was quite far off

[wary shell]

I’m watching the feed that jumps between pole vault, discus, and 200m

The pole vaulters are sprinting

They should join 200m

[silk zephyr]

I have that stream on the TV and the pole vaulters on my laptop

That was a French athlete on the floor I hope she’s ok

[limber lotus]

go daryl!!

woooo

[sharp skiff]

frances discus coach is exactly what i expect a discus coach to look like lol

[scarlet cedar]

sam kendricks is the most army looking american, i’ve ever seen

he’s so ken

[limber lotus]

literally

KENdricks

[scarlet cedar]

his job is pole

👀

[sharp skiff]

he does look very american lol, its the haircut

[limber lotus]

💀

[scarlet cedar]

he usually has a full buzz cut which is so army too hahaha

[silk zephyr]

Mondo doing that lil bounce up

[silk zephyr]

He looks like an action man

[sharp skiff]

i cant decide what is more military-looking, a buzz cut or the current style he has

id say the current style

[silk zephyr]

Well buzz cut for boot camp obv

[scarlet cedar]

he’s an army reserve lollll

anyway i’m so happy he’s doing well cos he had to miss tokyo with covid

[wary shell]

I saw he went to Mississippi state and that tracks

[wary shell]

He’s GI Joe come to life

[silk zephyr]

Ew gross don’t kiss your girlfriend

[silk zephyr]

Action man is the UK GI Joe

In the pole vault are some skipping some heights

[wary shell]

I saw that. How to confuse me easily

[silk zephyr]

I’m obsessed with the officials for this 5000m race

[wary shell]

The guy with the headset and green card

[sharp skiff]

wow the american, #14 running the woman's 5000 has a gnarly short tan rn

[wary shell]

I saw that. I don’t know which is worse. Her running tan with the required team uniforms or the golfers

[silk zephyr]

I mean most teams have the option between the underwear or shorts

[sharp skiff]

at least it can be hidden with pants? The golfers is on their face lol

i love the massive scope of body types seen in track and field, the long-distance runners being the tall and skinny, sprinters built af, made for powerful short bursts, the discus/shotput/hammer larger stature. Its like so nice to see so much variance and their all athletes. Something mainstream media doesn't want to remember is a thing

[silk zephyr]

And 99% of them being hot af

And a bonus this year for anyone who likes men - you can see everything

[sharp skiff]

also the screams the female discus throwers specifically release after throwing are the best, those are from deep within their souls

[silk zephyr]

Oh the Filipino guy 😭

[limber lotus]

ooop pushing and shoving in the 5,000

[sharp skiff]

woah, the front two runners in the 5000 just touched eachother? did yall see that?

[limber lotus]

angwy

[silk zephyr]

Wild

[sharp skiff]

whats that about? i must know

[silk zephyr]

Also they were basically walking for them

[limber lotus]

how they can sprint at the end of that is baffling

[silk zephyr]

Go on gi Joe

[sharp skiff]

truly id rather pass away than run any distance, so the fact they can do that AND have something in the tank left for a sprint at the end is crazy

[limber lotus]

my 5K PB is double what they did it in

[silk zephyr]

This is me just figuring out that 5k is 5000m

[sharp skiff]

and their so casual about it at the end too, like what they just did isnt massively impressive

[silk zephyr]

I’m not the smartest

[limber lotus]

idk why they dont just call it 5k tbh

[sharp skiff]

they should be like noah lyles level hyped

[silk zephyr]

Mondo cleared that by a mile

[scarlet cedar]

only mondo does this, but yes!

[limber lotus]

or why i don't get to be like "oh i have a 5,000m PB"

[silk zephyr]

Why

[scarlet cedar]

because he can go way higher so doesn’t need to waste his energy!

[silk zephyr]

Or if they had like an X- and then did the next height why are they allowed to do that

But doesn’t he need to prove he can do it

Awww the American leading the claps for the Greek that’s cute

[scarlet cedar]

because you can only fail 3 in a row so if you fail like 2 at one height and everyone else gets over, you might as well attempt the one above cos that will get you higher in the standings

does that make sense

[silk zephyr]

No but I understand

[last pulsar]

It can backfire, because if you pass and then don’t clear the next height you’re end result is the last height he cleared,

[scarlet cedar]

nope! it’s the highest height, however you get there

[last pulsar]

Not that that would happen to Mondo

[sharp skiff]

ooooo they just showed the conflict again between the kenyan and the ethiopian, i think the kenyan was just annoyed with how close she was to her

[last pulsar]

But you never know

[scarlet cedar]

which is what happened to the british world leader in qualifying today in the women’s

[silk zephyr]

Oh no did she not qualify

[last pulsar]

Yeh that was a weird one

No she didn’t 😬

[scarlet cedar]

nope! she didn’t get a mark cos she skipped loads of heights and then failed the height she started on 3 times

[silk zephyr]

🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s the gymnastics all over again - do something simple perfectly (unless you’re Rebecca Andrade)

[last pulsar]

I think it was down to lack of experience and overconfidence

[scarlet cedar]

100%, mondo knows he can do it, molly doesn’t have that experience yet

[silk zephyr]

Oh my washing is ready to hang up but I don’t want to miss this

[sharp skiff]

guys the americans last name has ken in it too lol

[silk zephyr]

Yes we got that from the beginning my love

[scarlet cedar]

yeah @limber lotus made that joke before hahahaha

[sharp skiff]

i know i literally just put that together lol

[silk zephyr]

An American being slow, what a shock 😉😉😉😉 /j

[last pulsar]

Mondo just cleared 6m, and it’s the first time he bothered to celebrate 😭

[silk zephyr]

The hot Chinese lady is on my tv

[sharp skiff]

shes so hot

i want her to scream in my face like that

[silk zephyr]

Her earrings are iconic

Come on Karalis

I believe in you

Not enough clearly

[sharp skiff]

guys whats happening with the italian who just ran the 5k, why is she crying?

[silk zephyr]

He’s so happy anyway

[scarlet cedar]

hes never cleared 6m, that would have been insane

[limber lotus]

bronze for him

[silk zephyr]

I mean why not just say fuck it and try as much as you can at the Olympics

[scarlet cedar]

exactly!!

[silk zephyr]

Awwwww Mondo giving him a cuddle

[scarlet cedar]

they’re so so so close in pole vault, it’s my favourite thing

they’re the most supportive group of athletes

[sharp skiff]

id cry in mondos arms too my guy

[silk zephyr]

Looks very similar in the discus

The American and Croatian hugging it out

[sharp skiff]

USA USA USA USA

[scarlet cedar]

same 🥵

GOLD

[silk zephyr]

Go on kenboy

[scarlet cedar]

NOW BRING ON THE WR ATTEMPTS

[silk zephyr]

Awww he didn’t

[last pulsar]

Silver medalist in 5000m disqualified!

[silk zephyr]

Omg why

[last pulsar]

The pushing and shoving

[silk zephyr]

Rho give me information

Oh rude

[last pulsar]

Judges didn’t like it

[limber lotus]

gasp

[sharp skiff]

wow!!!

[silk zephyr]

I mean that’s fair

[wary shell]

Whoopsie

[last pulsar]

It is, but she was the red hot favourite coming in. It was a shock she got silver, let alone her being disqualified!

[silk zephyr]

HES GOING FOR 6.10

[wary shell]

I’m watching the Greek athlete have a party

[limber lotus]

GO ON LAD

[sharp skiff]

omg sam sounds exactly like youd expect him too

[silk zephyr]

The judge was like 6.10???????????

[wary shell]

Is Kendrick bleeding

[scarlet cedar]

wonder what the OR is

[silk zephyr]

I’m not sure, it looks like it doesn’t it

[silk zephyr]

6.03

[scarlet cedar]

yeah he is

not sure how

[limber lotus]

yeah he scraped his arm

[limber lotus]

on the pole

[silk zephyr]

From when he smacked his hand on the bar I think

[wary shell]

He’s going for the OR

[scarlet cedar]

oh damn, he can defo go for the OR

WR is insane lol

[wary shell]

Yeah but he set it

He’s not going for his own world record he’s going for the OR lol

[sharp skiff]

awwww sams son is cute

[silk zephyr]

Kayalis making history

[scarlet cedar]

no i know but he keeps extending it at each comp

he always tries

[silk zephyr]

But this is the only time to ever set the Olympic record

[scarlet cedar]

i think he’ll secure OR if he can

then try WR

[silk zephyr]

So I would go for that over something I get higher ever comp

[sharp skiff]

wait if the podium is set, why does he just get to keep going?

[silk zephyr]

He has a very French name for a swede

[last pulsar]

Yeh you don’t go from 6m straight to the world record, you gotta warm up to it.

[wary shell]

Records

[scarlet cedar]

he can keep going till he fails

[sharp skiff]

ooooo thats why the italian was crying, with the DQ she moved up to 3rd

[last pulsar]

Just to see how high he can go! This is my favourite part of any event!

[wary shell]

Lots of French in Louisiana they say.

[scarlet cedar]

his brothers are called anthoine and andreas

[silk zephyr]

Wasn’t it bought from the French by the Americans

[wary shell]

Yes

[silk zephyr]

I just saw on wiki lol

[limber lotus]

BIRTHDAY TWIN!!!!!!

is he waiting til after the 800m?

[scarlet cedar]

yes

[wary shell]

They also speak French officially in Louisiana

It’s on the books.

Just not common anymore.

[limber lotus]

gwarn keely!!!

[silk zephyr]

And similarly to Canada I believe it’s wrong French

[last pulsar]

Pole vaulters have a tendency to run onto the track when they celebrate which makes running the 800m difficult 😂

[wary shell]

It’s straight up creole

[limber lotus]

you think?!

[sharp skiff]

damn, armands jawline could cut glass 🥵

[silk zephyr]

The e American is tidying eveyrhing up 😂

[wary shell]

Kendrick and the Greek should have entered the 200

[wary shell]

He’s not beating army allegations

They love to clean

[limber lotus]

flick someone in the face with that hair

[scarlet cedar]

KEELYYYYYYYYYY

[sharp skiff]

OOOO I gotta find those lol

[limber lotus]

he had SO much space too

[silk zephyr]

https://www.britishtriathlon.org/events/Bedford-Triathlon_15215

Personally wouldn’t want to swim in Bedford river but it might be better than the Seine?

[last pulsar]

An Olympic sport in and of itself

[sharp skiff]

they really should make it an event

[silk zephyr]

I feel like they need to hire the athletes who don’t qualify to be photographers

[scarlet cedar]

just seen a replay of the 5k incident and that seems so so so harsh on the kenyan

[last pulsar]

I wonder if they train for it

[scarlet cedar]

i hope they can appeal

[limber lotus]

yeah i agree

[sharp skiff]

it was the kenyan who was dqd?

[limber lotus]

they will apparently

[sharp skiff]

she didnt start it from what it looked like!

[last pulsar]

Is he going for 6:20? Or 6:25?

[limber lotus]

but ocmmentators think it was tsegay at fault

as do the other athletes

[silk zephyr]

Oh no duplantis does finger guns when he wins

That’s immediately an ick

[scarlet cedar]

yes! so harsh

[silk zephyr]

6.25 he’s going for

[scarlet cedar]

nah he gets a pass

[silk zephyr]

Once he’s stopped the bleeding anyway

[limber lotus]

LOL

[silk zephyr]

Lmfao Kayalis is helping him tape his wound

[last pulsar]

Not the Greek pole vaulter helping him with a plaster 😭

[limber lotus]

they're all so cute together

[sharp skiff]

Wow from the tape, i would have figured it would have been the Ethiopian

[silk zephyr]

Lmao Kendrick’s is just bouncing around

Keely rang the bell!!

What’s he waiting for

[scarlet cedar]

WR attempt, let’s GO

[silk zephyr]

His shoes really don’t match his outfit

[sharp skiff]

Heheh the Swedes with the 6.25 signs

[last pulsar]

They came prepared!

[silk zephyr]

And he’s just having a lil chat beforehand

I’d be in the zone

[scarlet cedar]

me at the olympics

[sharp skiff]

Conveniently works for winter and summer!

[silk zephyr]

So close!

He absolutely just said “FUCK”

[last pulsar]

The other pole vaulter was hyping up the crowd for him 🥹

I think his hand just hit the bar

[silk zephyr]

The entire stade de France is cheering for him

[limber lotus]

They’re so adorable

[limber lotus]

His leg too I think

[silk zephyr]

Ah it looks like it was his knee

[scarlet cedar]

so so close

let’s go

[last pulsar]

Yeh the slo mo shows it

[scarlet cedar]

2 more tries

[silk zephyr]

Does he get another go?

[limber lotus]

Two more goes!

[silk zephyr]

Oh I thought it was a one and done for the record!

[limber lotus]

Nah man, you clear it you clear it

[scarlet cedar]

nope, he’s still technically in the competition

so 3 goes

[silk zephyr]

I should be in bed

Lmao and some guys are getting their medals presented

[limber lotus]

Quite literally raising the bar

[silk zephyr]

Lmfao and they’re joking about the bandaging

The American offering duct tape obviously

Is he not just allowed to go? Does he have to wait?

[sharp skiff]

Fred completing that medal collection with the bronze, love to see it

[limber lotus]

Snuggles and teehees all round

[silk zephyr]

Mondo just said his finger gun pose was to copy the Turkish guy im dead

A wild American anthem

[scarlet cedar]

fred looks a plonker with the glasses on

noah is cooler ✌🏻

aww sam and mondo standing for the anthem 🥹

[sharp skiff]

Plonker is a fun term I’ve never heard

[silk zephyr]

I really like the font they’re using

Plonker is one of the best insults

[limber lotus]

absolute plonker

[silk zephyr]

Here we go

[sharp skiff]

Freddy trying to hide his pain behind those glasses

Man this will be crazy if he does it

[silk zephyr]

He thinks he’s outside on the army base gotta stand at attention

[sharp skiff]

OMG HE WAS SO CLOSE

[silk zephyr]

He’s going for 6.2

[limber lotus]

[silk zephyr]

He’s got tons of other competitions to get the 6.25

[scarlet cedar]

put the OR way out of reach

[sharp skiff]

OMGG HIS SIX PACK

UNREAL

[silk zephyr]

I want kendricks as a hype man

[limber lotus]

literal front row seats to it

[silk zephyr]

Oh no they changed the depth

Not the height

[limber lotus]

oooo

[silk zephyr]

I think

[scarlet cedar]

[limber lotus]

the uprights to 62

what does that mean

[silk zephyr]

@scarlet cedar

Explain to us

[limber lotus]

yeah he's still going for 6.25

[silk zephyr]

[limber lotus]

DUDE!!!

[scarlet cedar]

Someone tell the Greek he has the flag the wrong way

Oh kendricks has folded up the American flag perfectly

[limber lotus]

He might be allowed out

[silk zephyr]

Oh that was a fuck from him

[sharp skiff]

Def not beating the army allegations now

[silk zephyr]

Bet the BBC had to apologise for that

And of course kendricks is hyped to bon jovi

The officials giving him a handshake

[livid token]

They are not staying in the village. They decided to stay out side I think Sarah Sjöström also decided to stay outside the village

[limber lotus]

Aww thanking all the officials

[sharp skiff]

And now onto surfing

I’m truly going to be lost when these Olympics end

[silk zephyr]

Finishing hanging up my washing to dry and then off to bed

I’ve done too much sport today

[sharp skiff]

No such thing

[wary shell]

I just looked him up on the full page. Man was born in Oceanside California. He was born on a military town. He had no hope of being normal.

[limber lotus]

Friend elbee is back!

You have been quiet today 🫶🏼

I feared you had succumbed to another branch of sickness again

[wary shell]

I’ve been working if you can believe

[silk zephyr]

😱

[wary shell]

But also my sinuses are off today I’m slightly dying

[limber lotus]

What’s that? 🤔

[wary shell]

Type type email type email scream

[limber lotus]

Ahhhhhh

I only know sports tapas

[silk zephyr]

I wish I only knew sports tapas

[wary shell]

Unfortunately the good ones for me are 8 to 2pm

[limber lotus]

I got my first day of childcare for the school holidays

I sports tapas’d hard

[silk zephyr]

Good choice

[limber lotus]

Was meant to be working

No regrets

[silk zephyr]

I mean who needs a job really

[limber lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/chrissy-teigan-ugly-cry-golden-globes-funny-teigan-gif-3928441

[silk zephyr]

So you’ll be ignoring the Olympics and working tomorrow right

[limber lotus]

Don’t work Tuesdays 😉

I do however have to see my extended family so maybe I’ll offer to do overtime 🤔

[silk zephyr]

😂

I have to work every day this week and I think that’s offensive

[limber lotus]

Hate crime tbh

Anti Olympic propaganda

[sharp skiff]

I got lucky that my boss worked from home today so I could watch unbothered at my desk

Shout out to the air conditioner that doesn’t work in his office and a 93 degree day

[wary shell]

I’m working from home because my second building is having roof work done

[silk zephyr]

It appears that the equity partner in my team is coming in every day at the moment 🫠

And headphones are banned in my office anyway

[scarlet cedar]

can you not hide them with your hair? that’s what i do

[silk zephyr]

I wear my hair up most days unfortunately

Fat + long hair = sweaty af

[sharp skiff]

I simply couldn’t work at a place that banned headphones, I’d get literally nothing done

[silk zephyr]

Yeah I worked a day at home the day before my colonoscopy and had music on and did so much more work but nope

We’ve all got to be ready to answer the phone at any time

[wary shell]

I’m able to use a phone receiver with AirPods in I’m build different

[silk zephyr]

They literally don’t accept that that’s possible

I’m going to need Medina to find a wave because I simply can’t having an Aussie in the final

[oak geyser]

Robinson’s been competing with an injured foot the whole time

Cut it on the reef early on

[sharp skiff]

Damn props to him, Colin Jost did that too. He is just like a real athlete 🤣. Medinas coach looks like he’s trying to manifest a wave himself

[wary shell]

Medina needs to find a wave. My day is ruined. I took a bite of cheese and I didn’t see the green mold. What a ruined.

I don’t think you’re gonna find it

The ocean is asleep

[sharp skiff]

Ugh this is what I hate about the competitive surfing, someone can win simply because nature

Robinson got supremely lucky here

[wary shell]

Florida girl vs French girl

[sharp skiff]

I think the French are taking it for the me, kauli is so good and just knows this wave so well and he can get so creative

[wary shell]

Well he was born there

This is his home home home

[sharp skiff]

Yes, I know lol, the announcers have only said it about a trillion times

[wary shell]

I don’t listen to them lol

I just look things up and let them blab

[sharp skiff]

I hope Caroline does well, absolutely devastating that Carissa didn’t make it through,

Great wave there for Caroline, ouch having to walk on the coral

Caroline and Joanne looking neck and neck rn

YESSSSS CAROLINE

[wary shell]

A tie that’s fun

[sharp skiff]

Wow what happens if they tie. Joanne giving away the priority is even worse now

😬😬😬😬

[wary shell]

I went outside to touch grass what happened

[sharp skiff]

Wait so actually what happens if they get a tie?

[wary shell]

Tie breaker is the biggest wave

[sharp skiff]

Caroline like handed the priority back to Joanne basically right after Joanne gave it to her and it ended in a tie break

Got it so Caroline gets it. LETS GOOO USA USA USA

Doing some skateboarding this lunchtime

[sharp skiff]

Man I know it’s cause women’s skateboarding is a young sport but these are literal children lol

I feel ancient

[silk zephyr]

They look about 12

But I am very glad they are wearing protection

[sharp skiff]

The us skater going rn is 17, the uk that went before her is born in 2008

I was in high school in 2008

[silk zephyr]

Yeah sky is 16

She was 13 at the last Olympics

And she’s amazing

[limber lotus]

The youngest Chinese skater is 11

They’re literally children haha

[silk zephyr]

They look so cool though

Lola is also 16 and yet she has a belly button piercing and a crop top I was NEVER that cool

[sharp skiff]

Never!!!

[limber lotus]

Idk if I ever will be

[silk zephyr]

I do love that the countries have clearly asked them what they want to wear and then made uniforms for them

[silk zephyr]

I won’t be

[limber lotus]

Husband is very impressed with the tricks whereas it doesn’t really mean much to me 😂😂

[granite idol]

I’m just impressed they can do it at all. I usually sit on skateboards and use my hands to move it

[silk zephyr]

Oh apparently that American run was terrible because she only went into the jumps one way and I can’t walk without tripping over my feet

Sky is sending it

I would also be so pissed off skating with my hair down

[limber lotus]

Yeah the higher you finish the later you go in the final so you can watch everyone

[silk zephyr]

So you can decide how big you want to go

[limber lotus]

Yeah basically

[silk zephyr]

Or if everyone has fallen and you can just scoot along 😂

[limber lotus]

Right!!

Sit on it and push yourself along like @granite idol 😉

I don’t have TikTok on my phone just iPad. they’ve locked it down recently. It’s annoying.

The insta one worked

[lone dove]

ah nice! it's silly that internet video can be region-locked at all tbh

[sharp skiff]

I was wondering how heavy they were too

this has nothing to do with anything, but have yall noticed swimmers dont seem to have injuries?

I was thinking about that this morning you never hear in the swimming events "and shes coming back from an ACL tear" or "hes coming back from breaking his collarbone"

but its all over other events, which just shows how good swimming is for the body. Like can you get injuries from swimming?

maybe a repetitive use injury like shoulder tendinitis?

[silk zephyr]

You can def get tears and shits

[wary shell]

Missy Franklin had to retire early for her shoulder

But yeah less than other sports

[silk zephyr]

I’m really disappointed that none of the wales got a medal in the surfing

They were def better

[sharp skiff]

They absolute deserved it

[silk zephyr]

Whales not the entire country of wales

Although we should get all the medals

[sharp skiff]

im sure itll be fine, but im a little nervous for the USWNT game

[lone dove]

oh for sure

Germany is no joke

it could go either way easily

[sharp skiff]

i feel a little better since weve already played them

but like their performance against Japan was not as dominant as i expected

[lone dove]

it's helpful too that all the quarterfinals went into ET, so their legs are just as worn out as ours

like they did with sue bird and the NCAA wbb finals

The fact that the women have to have a smaller roster and shorter breaks between games is bs.

[sharp skiff]

it is bs, foudy is correct

Especially in the olympics, which is like the pinnacle of their sport for the women, but basically an under 19 tournament for the men

man this ref sucks

she is constantly in the way of play

[silk zephyr]

Pretty sure England sent the U23 team lol

[small phoenix]

I don’t understand the reason behind it. And all the traveling they have to do seems excessive.

[sharp skiff]

yeah, i mean i get spreading out the venues, its nice to have tourists traveling to the various local economies. but your telling me there arent ANY other football stadiums closer to paris that could have hosted this??

[scarlet cedar]

team gb don’t have teams

but also the world cup exists, that’s definitely more of the pinnacle

People are saying that the Americans training for the mile instead of the 1500 gave them 300 extra feet of stamina.

I don’t think so.

Because they’ve never been great before.

Mondo Duplantis on Swedish TV this morning is the most hungover I've seen anyone on national TV for a long time. Dude barely had a voice left and he had to sit in a studio answering questions and then meet the Swedish king, all in his second language. What a superstar.

josh kerr talking about his and jakob’s beef 😭

[sharp skiff]

Do y’all think Jakob created that opening on purpose so Kerr couldn’t take gold?

[last pulsar]

I have wondered that

I’ve also wondered if the reason Kerr is so happy with silver is because Jakob didn’t get gold

[sharp skiff]

Like jakob could have kept that opening shut the entire time. Maybe he couldn’t have kept the pace he set till the very end and that’s why he lost it but like

Seems wild he created that opening not on purpose knowing the American was right on him and I’m sure he knew Cole hocker has the capability of doing something like that

[last pulsar]

Even if he didn’t know it would be Cole Hocker specifically, he knew there would be someone there to take advantage of it

Beforehand they were talking about how many people in that final were good enough to take advantage of any mishaps up ahead.

[sharp skiff]

Yeah, exactly! Idk, the more I think about it, the more it feels like it was on purpose. I’d love to hear what Jakob had to say afterwards and still can’t get over the result

I mean to be so focused on your beef with one other person that you loose the race entirely was like a movie level drama

[last pulsar]

They had a brief interview with him straight after the race but he didn’t say much of interest. I mean he was very pleasant and didn’t seem overly annoyed, but similarly to Kerr I think a big part of that was Kerr not getting gold.

They asked him if it was always the plan to run the race like that, but he didn’t really answer.

[last pulsar]

They mentioned that in the semis, because he clearly made a point of beating Kerr even though it didn’t make any difference to the final. They said that made it seemed like Kerr was in his head.

[sharp skiff]

It definitely seemed that way for both of them

[last pulsar]

Challengers but make it athletics

[sharp skiff]

I have a hard time believing he couldn’t have kept that pace for the entire race, but maybe he knew he didn’t have it in him for the last little push he needed to take gold. So he settled for not winning at all if it meant Kerr didn’t take gold

Which is WILD if that’s what happened

And now Jakob can go to the press and be like “yeah I let hocker win” and add even more fuel to the beef fire which is just chef kiss

I LOVE THE HUMANITY BEHIND SPORT

[last pulsar]

That would brilliant 😂 but I don’t think he’ll do that. A lot of people would look on that as bad sportsmanship I think.

It wouldn’t just piss off Kerr it would piss off Hocker too.

I would love for him to prove me wrong though 😂

[sharp skiff]

That’s true, it would be monumental. And honestly, the more beef the better. 🤣

Either way I’m intrigued and will be paying closer attention to the men’s 1500 from now on

missed all of climbing tragically but now i've found myself watching skateboarding

[wary shell]

There is the medal ceremony for figure skating 2022 team in 2 hours.

Wondering if they bring back their winter Olympic fits or they get summer game fit.

I did research they’re in 2024 games fits.

Fascinating.

The skateboarders make it look so effortless

[quaint zealot]

i'm sure people say this about every sport but i don't get how they do it

skateboarding just seems (like climbing) like a sport here the barrier of entry is so high

like so many people couldn't even drop in (i'm people)

[silk zephyr]

I’m so glad they’re getting their medals

[last pulsar]

I was thinking this especially about the climbers earlier, because they don’t look especially muscular, they’re all really wirey but SO strong.

Like with shot putters or the runners they look STRONG

[cosmic jasper]

WOOOOOO

[quaint zealot]

i think being a climber taught me a lot about this perspective, like being relatively small but able to lift extremely heavy

climbers have unreal deadlifts

[wary shell]

I’m glad they’re not having to wear the winter games jacket for this.

[last pulsar]

I’m sure most of them could deadlift me
