I guess we need a Summer Olympics thread…?

Let me know if my pony is crip-walking.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t like the chop here.

Jump-off is high drama that we didn’t get. I feel cheated.

Keep on adding to that leaflet, imo!

Read the back story and this becomes even more incredible.

THAT’S SOCIALISM!!!

They both got first place money (gold medal). No other outcome possible.

But yeah would prefer rules didn’t allow a tie.

The intro to the 100M final was more impressive than the entire opening ceremony.

I’m still trying to figure out the reason for the double bronze medals awarded in judo.

Simple bracket with no third place match. They do that in boxing and taekwondo as well.

But poor Djoker has to play for a bronze.

What is the reason for this? Is it concern that once someone loses a fight, they would not be in a condition to fight again? Always thought it was odd that most sports have bronze medal match, other than a few.

I feel bad for laughing but one of the more entertaining “home viewing party” moments was just now when they showed the family of the American who botched the vault and they all gasp and go “oh no!” in unison. A nice change of pace from the usual celebrations they show.

Woman from the Netherlands running a 1500m qualifier fell with about 350m left and still ended up winning the race.

I understand they weren’t pushing the entire time but, wow.

Yeah, that was an incredible recovery! Now she needs to recover in time for the 5k final in 12 hours.

That’s some Chariots of Fire level shit.

It was a nice moment when the two runners collided in the 800m semis last night and then helped each other up, hugged it out, and jogged together to the finish line.

And it was impressive that in the same race, the winning Kenyan was just hanging back and then took a wide route around the two racers in front of him as easily as if they were an old couple in his way.

Can someone ELI5 what was wrong with Jade Carey’s first vault?

It didn’t look great, but it didn’t look as horrific as it obviously was to everyone else. What did I miss?

Men’s Long Jump Final happening right now. I’m biased, but jumping events are the best in track and field.

Hoping for Luka vs USA final
