I would not generalize Geisenberger, for example, she was in a fiancée, because she got married in one of the summer months from what I remember. I do not know how with others, because to be honest I do not follow the private life of athletes and whether anyone is pregnant or became gay is basically indifferent to me.

That comparison

 

What I meant is for example Meyers Taylor and Maier/Vathje have had their names like that for a while now, it's not a secret and almost impossible to miss their relationships when watching those sports. 

 

Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary.

Sometimes they make such strange comparisons . I am of the opinion that what we have learned the light of day from the Olympic events we already know, but there is probably also a second, darker bottom of the apartment there.

Plus there's this guy from (or competing for) Togo.

I wonder if there is a connection, or if it's just taking an easy route.

No idea, but apparently he grew up in Nairobi, Geneva and Harara so Kenya and Zimbabwe might have been options too

Still, it's good to see American Samoa back.

 

Too bad the days of Lillehammer 1994 are long gone. Back when all had Olympic sliders. And back then Jamaica was really competitive...
