I’m not sure if her collapse after the race will increase or decrease suspicions about her. 

Decrease.

Danish commentators pretty mad that Judd didn't get the necessary help after the race. Apparently took long before she got any water!

Chopra improves to 87,58. Vesely 85,44 into 2nd place.

That went wrong from the first athlete to cross the line already, they really should have been standing at the ready with bottles of water, cold wet towels and such...

How many of you have Johannes Vetter in your "Absolutely certain no way can he lose Gold" list?

Dutch commentator threw in a bit of a worry right after the start: Hassan's management had told him that she had been having a not very light leg injury before the Olympics, and she was actually on the edge of withdrawing from Tokyo altogether. I did not expect her to have this kind of last lap in her anymore, but I guess Gidey's tactics helped

It has been a fault right through the games, from the cycling on the very first day.

I probably had like 10 names on that list for the entire Olympics, only Duplantis and Rojas in athletics

I picked him to win gold but not in the "no way he can lose" category.

And it's not like it's complicated. It'd be enough to literally have 4-5 volunteers walking around giving bottles and towels.
