Honestly, dear girl, I am just so relieved this didn't turn into some kind of tragedy, because what she actually achieved here is a massive, massive success.
Seriously, sick Sarah 4. is out there. I mean, that little one is going to be a world champion; there is absolutely no doubt about that.
An American??? Well, I guess it’s all just a coincidence then, according to what Ball and Chapit were saying—that guy somehow missed out on bronze by a mere 0.04 seconds in the finals 🙂
As they mentioned during the broadcast, her current age is actually considered the prime window for this specific discipline. From what I can gather, 28 is really the sweet spot. Since Sarah still has quite a few competitions lined up before she hits that mark, and given how much heart she shows, I honestly don't doubt for a second that massive achievements are in her future.
She seemed incredibly anxious throughout the whole thing, but frankly, there’s no reason to worry. We should just enjoy watching her, especially knowing we have athletes making finals in events that don't get nearly as much spotlight here as baseball does back home.🙄
No offense to any baseball players—I'm a fan myself😬--
The qualifying mark for the finals was set at 63.50. Out of her nine total attempts, Sarah managed to hit that exact number once, plus one jump that went even further. Everything else fell short of the mark. I suppose there’s a reason for that.
Well, there you have it. That’s the end of Bowie’s attempt to sprint across the finish line; she just overextended a bit too much and ended up taking a nasty fall 😬.
Exactly my point. Taking fourth place in the world when you're only 22 years old? I mean, you have to respect that. 🙏
If only she’d shown even a shred of gratitude for being there at all, much like how things played out in Los Angeles, but I suppose that’s just what happens when you’re an Olympic champion—everyone starts assuming gold is a given.

I suppose it's a stroke of luck it happened during the finals; at least there are still plenty of other races left on the schedule.😁

True, provided you aren't risking an injury by doing so.

Joe Biden, let's all raise a glass to celebrate this trash heap of dopers. Long live Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps. 🎉
If there’s actual proof he doped today, then sure, you can say that. But until then, I suppose we have to treat this victory as being as pure as driven snow.

Because he was flagged for doping twelve years ago, sat out four breaks, and then fought his way back to become a world champion by beating the greatest of all time? Give me a break.
