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.

    • There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
    • true, but was expecting India to get troubles from Australia, not from New Zealand, and specially not by being bowled out. Makes the group phase interesting though 
    • The 4th best team in the world beating the 3rd best team in the world is not a huge surprise though.
