Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[kungshamra71 892]

I woke up at 4am to see this and it was totally worth it!

 

GOLD! F***ING GOLD!!  

 

For mostly everyone it’s something normal but you need to realize Portugal, in ALL history of Olympic Games, had (before today) only 4 gold medals! 
 

So this fifth one is a really huge thing 

 

It also sets Tokyo 2020 as the best Olympic Games ever for Portugal: neve before had we managed to get more than three medals at the same edition!

Can someone explain to me how this starts at 4:30pm local time? I mean, shouldn't this also be an early morning event like all the other long distance endurance races?

Let's see if Eiki Takahashi manages to be super fast early in the year again and then have a total fail at a major event again like literally every time.

Maybe committee think 4:30pm in Sapporo is not that hot. It's 29 degree I heard from commentator and I think it's ok for athletes.

Lol 15 channels in Indonesian streaming service yet I have to use Japanese VPN to watch the race walk... What a bunch of crap

As always, race walk live timing sucks balls, not showing the penalties at all.

Imgope it’s not solely because the GB Athletics team are desperate for medals.

Asher Smith would never medaled a 200m.
