Double gold is coming?

The Chinese can’t produce a single sub 4:00 runner to save their life, but the Brits just pull a random grandma out of their ass who improves her PB by 20 seconds in one year …

I dislike the count-back rule in this situation, imo  should be first if they end up otherwise tied since his misses were at a lower height.

Honestly, in this situation, there is no reason to not nudge, nudge wink, wink fail all six attempts.

In javelin Maria couldnt replay her qualification result, which could give her silver medal and finished just 8th

Grandma comes out of nowhere and improves her PB by 20 seconds over 1500 m in one year, becoming the 11th fastest athlete ever. Even Johann Mühlegg’s performances were infinitely more believable. I absolutely have no words for how disgusting her performance was. If she doesn’t get banned within the next 7 days, they should absolutely get rid of doping tests altogether.

 

 

Maybe she was under impression a bull was chasing her so she had a burst of adrenaline

Wouldn’t compare Hull to a Bull …

I certainly wouldn’t run away as fast as possible if Hull would chase me …

Bronze medal for Ogrodnikova. Her 2nd best throw would be good enough for 11th place

Lol the OBS commentators agree with me so much they think it’s the actual rule xD
