I guess we need a Summer Olympics thread…?

I don’t know?

I’ll see if I can find it and add it to the schedule.

ETA:

True story -

Israeli horse abuser cannot compete in the olympics because his horse was registered with the wrong nationality :frowning:
Horse immigration problems are serious business.

Just looked, they’re both Tuesday/Wednesday. Weird that a website called Track and Field Forever would miss those.

World Record for the south african in the 200M W Breaststroke!

yeah that was a good race. americans in 2nd and 3rd seemed pretty happy for her. no wonder they didn’t win

great start today. one WR, two ORs. The 100m W freestyle was the 2nd fastest ever.

stupid canadian missed out on her 7th medal by like .07

For all you Judo fans, Teddy Riner is fighting today in the heavyweight. He’s the most dominant Judoka ever. 10 world champions, 2 olympic golds.

Just won his first fight

Watching the judo now. #1 vs #32 so should finally see some scoring

Teddy is fighting Israel’s Ori Sasson (brozne medal from Rio) in the next fight. It will not end well for us.

IPPON!

not sure what youre watching, Sasson managed to not get ippon’ed by Teddy. Still lost though

The match before

Hard to follow with no commentary. Is ippon when you throw someone on their back and land in control? Or just like a pin in wrestling?
