Didn’t the athletes who finished behind him also deserve it? And if not, how can you judge whether they deserved it or not? 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...

Swimming barely had any records this time, I guess due to the pandemic. Athletics is turning into a farce, meanwhile. Oh well, speed skating had the same in the nineties with the 'clap skate' (no idea how to translate 'klapschaats' in English otherwise ) and nowadays that's just the norm, even though it was incredible at the time Best thing is to enjoy what we see now and in a few years accept that that's what is 'normal'.

While i do agree, that it could potentially turn into a farce sooner or later ( we will see the 200 m today ) , Warholm has been running great and showing he could beat the WR for some years now. Others would be way more eyebrow raising and questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, @heywoodumentioned it. When he was 10 months old, he hit a pan with boiling oil and it fell over his head and shoulders. He was hospitalized for months. Also, the last time that a Brazilian individual won a medal on track at the Olympics was in 1988, so he broke a long lasting curse for us.
