I have seen (and posted, I'm far from innocent) plenty of failed jokes that in hindsight were in bad taste, but don't really remember anything specific about Cuban triple jumpers  

 

Someone posting something about "Cuban podium" when Diaz Hernandez, Pichardo and  Diaz take a Diamond League podium really isn't that bad

 

Honestly it's worse when people - especially European people - complain about non-white European athletes winning or somehow not really counting or something (despite them often going for different reasons than the bags of money that leads people to Turkey, Bahrain and Qatar). But that's another point   

Relax, nothing personal , i wasn’t thinking about you here at all

I mean i am just so sad that they had to move out of Cuba to achieve sth big in the 1980s. And in the 1990s. And in the 2000s. And in the 2010s. And in the 2020s…

Is Angela Tenorio just entirely gone nowadays?

[rafalgorka 1,808]

And yes, i remember Sotomayor, Anier Garcia etc. There are always exceptions

That, absolutely. At the very least they actually get to compete internationally, unlike most North Korean athletes, but yeah...hopefully one day this changes (unlikely in the near future, but one may hope).

People always try to rehabilitate  as soft Communism, but only they &  still view their people as slaves of the State, like the Brezhnev era.  We joke about it, but it is very unjust.

Nice about Wegner because Apart from Javelin qualis Mr babiarz is the only one Pole competing and doing his best this session. No other Poles on start lists at all  sadly
