Maren Skjøld won Olympic bronze

 

Mind = blown 

 

Dude, your memory must be like a memory of a fish How you can not remember medalists from the last Olympics ??? It happened basically only a couple of months ago, seriously I can easily name you all medalists without too much problems

 

well, it also helps that I rewatched all events last year

If you rewatched everything a few months ago it might feel like it happened a few months ago, for me it feels like it happened 100 World Cups ago

 

And it was the team event, I'm 100% sure I watched it but also pretty sure I didn't feel very involved in looking at all individual athletes in the teams

 

Man I'd be surprised if I can name 5 gold medal winners in the correct events Definitely not because of a lack of interest or something, if it was I wouldn't have shifted my entire life to Korean time for two weeks, it's just a matter of watching way too many events and races every winter so it all gets a little confusing what happened where

Maria Sotskova announced her retirement at only 20 years old

 

[dcro 10,210]

Christilot Boylen retires at 73. Six times Olympian ('64, '68, '72, '76, '84, '92). Rather unfortunate for her that the only (non-boycotted) Olympics she missed in that period were the ones where Canada took a medal in team dressage.

 

While not anymore on the championship teams, she still competed internationally in recent years. Her last competition was right before the lockdown, in mid-March. She was born in Jakarta (then Djakarta).

 

Hiroshi Hoketsu is now (presumably) the only active athlete who is attempting to compete at both Tokyo 1964 and Tokyo 2020...
