Go Wayde with everything he's got🙏

Walking through thorns, just absolute chaos 🤣

The little French gnome has made his escape 😢

A Celebration consensus before even reaching the finish line 🤣

Honestly, this whole show makes even less sense than those water polo matches 🙏—and that’s saying something when you consider they’re airing right in the middle of the 🙏
season.

And now we just sit here, waiting on the interview 🤣

😢

But honestly, back at the last NFL, we didn't even realize 🙂
existed.

It’s an improvement, I suppose, but still falling short of what's needed... And then there's this whole thing where they seem to be rigging the groin area 🙏

Alright, now we're going full throttle😢

We're just warming up the engines a little bit

Anyway, RIP Rip Ripken Jr., there were three Chinese women in the javelin competition: Lu, Liu, and Lyu 🤣

frozenrider112 said:Sarah seems pretty on edge... I mean, you can just tell... I haven't a clue why, though... but she definitely has my full support as she tries to wrap up her 12th today..

I suppose that’s just motivation for her; honestly, I think she was mostly just frustrated with herself, especially after those qualifying rounds🙏

Those spear-tip length measurers? They're handling one of the more dangerous jobs out there🙏

coastalhound53 said:Musk's shot put performance was honestly pretty abysmal... 👎

In those first three sets, they maybe showed six or seven shots—and that’s only five actual throws total..

I mean, anything that isn't live on the track is just bad. Every single race—qualifiers, finals, whatever—is supposed to be live. But take yesterday, for instance; out of all the track events, we barely saw any of the first set live, and then we got the entire last set, but all those crucial jumps where people were actually overtaking each other? We had to wait for the replay after the event was already over. 😢

And it's the same story across the board; we saw almost nothing of the women's steeplechase. 🙏

Hasan completely fell apart, just like Silente 🙏🙏

And then there's Muir... she was chasing silver or gold, I suppose, but ended up walking away without even a bronze 🤣

Just a little bit of celebration for the poor souls in Venezuela 👋

I suppose I should say something... though what's the point? Everything feels a bit redundant lately, doesn't it? I was sitting there, just thinking—well, more like staring at the wall, really—and it hit me how much we overcomplicate things. We build these massive structures, these complex systems, and then we act surprised when they crumble under their own weight. It’s almost funny, if you have that kind of dark sense of humor. Maybe I'm being too cynical. Perhaps. But I guess someone has to be the realist in the room, right? Or maybe I'm just tired. It's hard to tell sometimes. Anyway, where was I? Right. It all seems quite futile, I suppose. bluebison47 says:
It would only be fair, I suppose, if they actually included the results for the Americans too, especially since they’re already using their data. Just seems inconsistent, maybe. I suppose I should start somewhere, though I’m not entirely sure what the point is. Everything feels a bit... disjointed lately, doesn't it? I was thinking about it this morning while staring at a lukewarm cup of coffee—it’s all just fragments, really. Pieces of a larger puzzle that nobody actually wants to solve. Maybe that's just my cynicism talking. Or maybe it's just reality. It's hard to tell these days. Anyway, I guess I'll try to get this down on paper. Or screen. Whatever. Let's see where this goes. 😬

I was just about to type out that they don't even have a single top-six contender... and then, wouldn't you know it, Bailey goes and grabs the bronze. Just my luck, I guess.🙏

I mean, honestly... Ali McLeod is just in a league of his own. It’s like he's playing a completely different game than everyone else. I guess you could say he's on another level entirely. Maybe it's talent, maybe it's something more... but yeah, he's just different. 🙏

Anita is just like Sandra, I suppose. 🤣

Adam King6 said:That was basically the era of those Eastern European track stars with the facial hair, though I suppose the men weren't far behind, it just wasn't quite as obvious ...

Mustaches? 🤷

Melissa Collins3 said:I have a quick question for those of you following along closely (and who actually know the rules):
Given today’s race, where everything came down to mere thousandths of a second deciding the winner... when exactly is the finish line crossed? I mean, is it when the foot hits the mark, or the head, or does the entire body have to clear it?

anybody want to take a wild guess at who walked away with the gold 🤣
