they just need to hire docs and managers like Canova, Rosa or Hermens for some of their athletes and they will suddenly become a powerhouse (just look at Uganda)...

No major games would be complete without a Frenchman acting like an idiot.

 

French runner Morhad Amdouni was the subject of fierce debate on social media after he appeared to deliberately knock over an entire row of water bottles during the men's Olympic marathon.

It's obvious he did that on purpose. We're not in court so the word "appears" is moot.

Canada's women's 4x400 relay team finished fourth for a second consecutive Games. I thought we'd escape any fourths in athletics this time around but nope!

Spain literally pulled a Canada in the medal table this time around. Hoping that changes for 2024.
