Lyles’ haters are gonna need to eat some humble pie.

 

God forbid someone is trying to make this sport entertaining.

Humble pie? That cocky fucker is always taking about breaking WR’s only to never get anywhere close to it, that’s why people don’t like him. He also talked down on Knighton when he was in high school, as an up and comer. He gives off “used to be a bully” vibes. Sorry I’m blowing up, just ranting.

Her best jump was once a 2.05 prior to the 2.10. Random is not the right word, more so non-logical, when your whole season is around 2 and you have jumped only once 2.05 in your career. Stefka had 18 jumps 2.05+ , so only time will tell, if it was random, fluke or whatever..

Yaroslava is 22, firstly. Secondly, she often doesn't have much competition, so why does she need to jump higher if she reached gold already? She set the world record, that is enough for her to be included in history already. Logically or non-logically, she is tallented and you could not disrespect her because she broke your national treasure's record, that's it.

I still genuinely wonder what the actual haters have to hate. I mean, I get not liking or even disliking athletes, but are the things like bringing in some Yu-Gi-Oh! and things like that so bad? :p 

 

Apart from Churandy Martina, I don't think I remember any sprinter being genuinely humble, they're all just super hyped up testosterone bombs :d 

It’s his personality and his arrogance :dunno:
 

One heat loss at the Olympics doesn’t mean he’s humble, sorry to break it to you :d

I didn't say he is :p 

 

Not a single one of these big time sprinters is, they're all hyped up to the max with testosterone levels that'd make doping control officers cry :p

I would have liked Thomson to win & he deserves too. I don’t why they made the athletes wait so long at the start line. Anyways, since Bolt’s retirement WA has been crying out for a STAR so Lyles & his cocky arrogance fits nicely with WA trying to Promote him as some kind of superstar . When the reality is he is not an exceptional sprinter like Bolt. It is what it is.

Oh sorry, I misread your reply :facepalm:

 

I’m sure a lot of them aren’t, but DeGrasse is humble. So are a couple of others.

    • "Out of stadium" why not just call it road events? 
    • GSOC Kioti National | Saint Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada    Men 1.  Team Mouat 2.  Team Jacobs 3.  Team McEwen 3.  Team Whyte   Team Mouat have now won the first 3 slams to start the season, and keep their hope for a Grand Slam alive. They’d be the first team to ever achieve that feat.    Women 1.  Team Homan 2.  Team Hasselborg 3.  Team Kim 3.  Team Einarson   Team Homan were 5-2 down entering the 6th end and somehow managed to find a way to win. Now 40-2 on the season, including 5 titles, and are 107-9 in their last 116 games. Incredible consistency.    Full Results
    • I would say the same with Serbia   May the best team win 
    • Yes, there are chances for us to make it, but also there are chances for you to beat us by more than 6 goalsOur team is very unpredictable at the moment.
    • My guess is that Montenegro will beat Czech Republic and for the our match it will be about goal difference. I read that if Serbia beat Romania by 6 goals then we will pass. So there are still chances that you can make it. 
    • Difficult for us without Neagu But we had some good moments against Montenegro last night. We lost due to many errors in defence, we have to improve that. I don't know what to expect against Serbia, I would say 55% we will go home after group stage, unfortunatly. About the other matches, except Croatia vs Faroe Islands which ended with a draw, not to many surprises.
    • Congrats to Max for another win. Easy race for him   The battle for constructor championship is still running What a disgrace for the directors of the race to not send the safety car on track due to that mirror which caused a puncture to Sainz and Hamilton. By the way, looking of the direction of Bottas when he hit that mirror we can be suspicious that he did that intentionally. Ok, he had to give space to the driver who laped him, but his direction is too strange. Pitty such race was ruined by this incident.
    • World Athletics announce the World Athletes of the Year.  Big awards go to Letsile Tebogo and to Sifan Hassan.    Women’s World Athlete of the Year: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s World Athlete of the Year: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Women’s track: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) Women’s field: Yaroslava Mahuchikh (UKR) Women’s out of stadium: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s track: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Men’s field: Mondo Duplantis (SWE) Men’s out of stadium: Tamirat Tola (ETH) Women’s Rising Star: Sembo Almayew (ETH) Men’s Rising Star: Mattia Furlani (ITA)       Seems a bit strange to me - OK, there is a case for Tebogo over Duplantis who can basically win every year, but for me Manuchikh beating an almost 30 year old WR beats winning Olympic Marathon Gold.    Hassan and Tebogo named World Athletes of the Year | World Athletics    
    • Former snooker World Champion Terry Griffiths passed away at the age of 77.
    • Doesn't matter if Shiffrin is there or not, it's still a last minute defeat for Wendy Holdener.
