OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 14, 2016 #411 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Gold for Thiam, silver for Ennis, bronze for Theisen. Quite surprising that neither Ennis-Hill nor Theisen-Eaton could end their olympic career with a gold. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 4,771 Posted August 14, 2016 Author #415 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Belgium having a fantastic Olympics. They had chances but weren't the favourites particularly for any event. I am pleasantly surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted August 14, 2016 #416 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Akela Jones dropped to 20th place after disasterous 800m. So disappointing ending #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 14, 2016 #417 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thiam improved her PB by 300 points in one competition? Yeah ... lol I guess if you look at what Belgium did in taekwondo european qualification event, then nothing they do can surprise you anymore.

Her high jump was amazing, and that is likely the last event someone would dope at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,323 Posted August 14, 2016 #419 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thiam's 6810 from Rio is 2 points better than Theisen-Eaton's PB. That's incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
