I love some track & field. The US trials were pretty fun with 2 world records. Also this is insane:

I’m stoked about this. Also due to fuckery by Fronter FIOS I’m somehow paying $10 for a sports package I didn’t want. But it has the Olympics channel, so I’ve been binging on the trials. I really like the guy who won the 5k meters - can’t remember his name now.
New WR in the 400m Hurdles in the Diamond League today. It was the oldest men track record.
The one I saw broke freaking Edwin Moses’ Olympic trial record. Amazing. Few olympians have dominated anything the way he dominated the 400m hurdles.
Less than a week ago Rai Benjamin won the US trials with 46.83, second best all-time.
Then yesterday some Norwegian jabroni comes along and sets a new WR at 46.70. In Oslo! Dude did not get the message about USA#1
Brag: I once got Edwin Moses’s autograph.

Also if we’re including winter, this is the goat Olympic finish:
The announcers put it over the top: “Here comes Diggins! Yes! Yes! YES! YES!”

Well in all fairness, everyone knows you move faster if you smoke weed.
Legal in the state she was in, also her parent had just died (not that she needs an excuse or should be apologizing). Amateur sports organizations are so terrible.

Btw, I wonder if people see this the way I do. Does this upset by the insanely underdog americans give anyone else 1980s hockey vibes?
I get curling isnt hockey, but that double for 5 in the 8th made me literally stand up and yell “YEAHHHHHHH” at 1:30 in the morning. Not to mention the point against the 3 peat Canadians in the semis in the 8th to get them there.
If anybody needs a random excuse to root for someone this Olympics… Rachel Schneider qualifed for the women’s 5k this year. She’s the little sister of one of my closest friends from high school. The whole family is just the nicest, friendliest people you could ever come across.

Our continued demonization against what is essentially a non-pharmecutical anti-anxiety drug is absolutely astounding to me. Further proof we have no interest in actually addressing mental health needs.

For whatever reason, though I have no patriotic pride, I still tune into the olympics when its on. I generally pull for the Americans (except when they play the Canadians in hockey.)
Ill be pulling for Schneider
