Just saw a replay of the Rio final, can't believe how much more....Olympic that track looked  

[heywoodu 15,135]

Jelle van Gorkom (silver medal in Rio) in the Dutch TV studio, it's so good to hear him talk fairly normally, even though with some words it's a little hard to understand. He had a very bad crash in training in 2018 and doctors said he might never be able to even communicate in a normal manner anymore due to his brain damage. He's obviously not going to race anymore, but seeing him like this is so good.

Dutch Harmsen and Van Gendt pushing each other to 7th and 8th in the first semi run

And in the women's race Merel Smulders gets basically taken out by two others and Laura Smulders + Judy Baauw are involved in a big early crash, except for the solid looking Kimmann this is looking utterly awful for the Dutch team  

 

Even more since Laura Smulders seems injured.

Very concerned about her. Hard crash to the asphalt with someone then running into her head at full speed.

Harmsen out, alright, but world champion Van Gendt out, that is quite the deception, damn.

Yep, that was violent

@heywooduDo you understand now, why it was a wrong decision?

I think "watch the gate" and the "ace, ace, ace" song in volleyball are my two favourite sport presentation parts.
