Well, three lines were covered up, so it's impossible to get a clear view anyway.

EDIT Apparently, the number slipped and landed on 6.91, though it might just be some wild conspiracy theory.😁

With Nazarov and one of the most breathtaking cliffs on the planet.

Španovićka is jumping great again, though she just doesn't seem to have any real competition to push her further.

EDIT: Word on the street is the number glitched and dropped down to 6.91, though honestly, it might just be some crazy conspiracy theory being cooked up by the opposition.😁

Man, oh man! Imagine if that actually turned out to be a trophy!

It was pretty hilarious watching the TV commentators after Španovićka’s jump. One second they're all hyped up, and then... 🤣

Anthony Baker84 said:she’s always been like that, honestly... wouldn't even be surprised, but now? her beef with that network is just on some whole other level, totally unhinged 😬

I went to Los Angeles and took my shot. 😉

The hammer throw was impressive, though I suppose gold is pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point.

And officially, her number on her jersey was what secured her the medal—it might have even been gold.

It’s one of those moments where you feel like you're being straight-up robbed... the bottom part of the number is cut off, but you can still make out where it lands—right on those gold and silver lines at 7.02. I mean, how does that even work as a jump from 6.91?!

Honestly, looking at this footage, it looks to me like the number dropped down to 6.91... 🕺

Yes, it’s a bit more intense, but that’s just how it is.

Here’s a better clip that clearly shows how the number was hooked up... he didn't leave any significant trace behind... so I guess we're looking at at least 7 million with that alone...

This is just such an outright theft... I suppose only someone completely blind could try to deny what happened here...

Honestly, she might as well bother filing an appeal since they clearly felt the need to squeeze American women off the podium. Sadly, it’s just a case of whoever has the most power pushing everyone else aside. Sports is nothing more than politics.

It might seem like a small deal right now, but honestly? In 30 years, everyone’s gonna remember her specifically because of that number—not even because of the medals!

I mean, would anyone even remember Vera Nikolic if she hadn't had that totally epic meltdown back in Mexico in '68?

Seriously—just the other day, I overheard two retirees chatting away in the park about nothing but her!

It’s basically the same vibe as what happened with Chavic and Martin during Rio 2016.

The medal standings (1st through 12th place) [30/48]
Just a string of numbers followed by a heavy dose of sadness—it’s like watching a broken scoreboard at a minor league baseball game where nobody’s winning and everyone’s just waiting for the rain to stop.
The numbers tell a story: 3 - 1 - 4 / 4 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 0 - 2 - 1 - 1, all coming out of Kenya.
It’s basically just a string of zeros and twos, like watching a broken scoreboard in a high school gym during a blowout game in Poland.
A score of 2-1-2 versus a total shutout of 0-1-0-0-0-0-1-0-0? That’s about as much action as you’ll get watching paint dry in a desert, even if South Africa is trying to make it interesting.
The scoreboard looks like a total mess: 1 - 2 - 1 / 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 3 China.
The results from the recent meet in Ethiopia were a bit of a roller coaster—it looks like we saw a 1-2-0 followed by a messy 0-2-1-3-2-1-2-0-2 sequence.
The scoreboard currently sits at a dismal 1-1-0, followed by a chaotic string of 0-1-1-0-1-0-0-0-2, all unfolding under the scorching sun in Bahrain.
The score stands at 1-1-0 / 0-1-0-0-0-0-0-1-2 against Turkey.
09.) 1 - 0 - 2 / 4 - 3 - 2 - 0 - 4 - 0 - 2 - 3 - 3 Jamaica
The sequence looks like this: 1 - 0 - 2 / 0 - 2 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0, which is essentially the pattern we saw coming from the Netherlands.
11.) 1 - 0 - 1 / 3 - 0 - 2 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 1 France
That’s a total washout—basically a statistical desert out there in Venezuela.
13.) 1 - 0 - 0 / 5 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 0 - 0 United Kingdom
The scoreboard looks like a total disaster zone—it’s basically just a string of zeros interrupted by a few lonely numbers. It’s about as productive as a broken vending machine in a ghost town. Czech Republic is absolutely struggling out there.
15.) 1 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 New Zealand
16.) 1 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 2 - 0 Belgium
17.) 1 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Greece
17.) 1 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Lithuania
17.) 1 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Norway
A string of zeros and ones that looks more like a broken calculator than a scoreboard—just a bunch of neutral athletes from Russia essentially floating through the competition without any momentum.
21.) 0 - 2 - 0 / 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 Ivory Coast
It’s basically a sequence of zeros and ones that looks less like a score and more like a glitching binary code from a broken calculator—it's just total chaos out there in the Bahamas.
23.) 0 - 1 - 1 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 0 Canada
The scoreboard looks like a complete disaster—it’s basically just a chaotic sequence of zeros and ones, similar to watching a poorly programmed computer glitch out during a game against Germany.
The scoreline looks like a complete mess—just a string of zeros and ones that barely resembles a real game. It’s basically zero to one, then back to nothing, followed by this erratic sequence of single points. Honestly, watching Sweden play like this is about as thrilling as watching paint dry in a thunderstorm.
Well, that was about as exciting as watching paint dry in a desert heatwave—just a string of zeros and nothing to show for it from Morocco.
27.) 0 - 1 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 0 Kenya
So, we're looking at a total shutout—zero across the board for one side, while the other manages a single point. It’s basically like watching a high-stakes game where everyone forgot how to score; just a complete vacuum of action from Colombia.
29.) 0 - 0 - 1 / 2 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 Cuba
30.) 0 - 0 - 1 / 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 America
31.) 0 - 0 - 1 / 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Trinidad and Tobago
It’s basically like watching a scoreless stalemate in a high-stakes game in Qatar, just a relentless string of nothingness.
33.) 0 - 0 - 1 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 0 Portugal
34.) 0 - 0 - 1 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 Tanzania
A total shutout—nothing but zeros all around for Kazakhstan. It’s basically like watching a scoreboard during a scoreless game of chess in a desert storm.
A complete shutout across the board—it’s basically like watching a championship team play against a high school squad where nobody can even find the end zone. Just total zeros from Botswana.
Zero to nothing across the board—it’s basically a total shutout for Israel.
Zero nothing, zero everything—just a total shutout from Mexico.
Zero wins, zero losses, zero draws—it’s basically a statistical void, like looking at a blank scoreboard after an empty game in Azerbaijan.
It’s basically a zeroed-out scoreboard, just a string of nothingness followed by some scattered points—kind of like watching a blowout game where nobody can find the end zone, except this time it's Switzerland.
The stats for the Canada game are looking pretty bleak: 0-0-0 followed by a messy 0-0-3-2-3-0-0-1-2 stretch. It’s essentially a masterclass in how to go nowhere fast.
42.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 Australia
43.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 0 Belarus
A total shutout across the board—it’s like watching a scoreless stalemate in a high school football game where nobody can even find the end zone. Just pure, unadulterated nothingness from Austria.
45.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 Italy
46.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Barbados
46.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Dominican Republic
The scoreline is essentially a ghost story—nothing but zeros and a few lonely digits haunting the board. It’s like watching a scoreless game between two teams that forgot they were actually playing sports, only to have Brazil stumble into a couple of points at the very end.
49.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 2 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 Spain
50.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 0 - 0 Japan
51.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 Ethiopia
A total shutout across the board—zeroes everywhere you look, including those lone outliers in the tail end of the sequence from Zambia.
53.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 United States Virgin Islands
53.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Tajikistan
Just a string of zeros and ones—basically the digital pulse of Nigeria.
56.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 Moldova
57.) 0 - 0 - 0 / 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 1 Lithuania
Well, that was about as productive as watching paint dry in a thunderstorm—just a whole lot of nothing from the Bulgarian squad.
Just a whole lot of nothing happening out there—it’s basically a string of zeros leading up to one tiny blip in Denmark.
Just a whole lot of nothingness, like watching a scoreless game in a stadium that hasn't seen a fan since the nineties. Absolute zero across the board.
Zero goals, zero clean sheets, just a complete statistical void from Uruguay. It’s like watching a high-stakes game where everyone forgot the ball actually exists.
