There's a disappointing amount of information on that on Twitter ESP commentators saw her tearing in the warm up area or something. It's very alleged. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 2, 2021 #43 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Confusing times by New Zealand and Australia. They are the countries least hit by COVID and it showed in other sports (rowing, swimming). If anything they should be faster than expected. Maybe they saved their best for later on.

They will get it back anyways (or the US will break it) so it wouldn’t make sense to cry. No one seriously expected that the world record wouldn’t be broken here.

Gianlu33 3,577 Posted August 2, 2021 #45 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I apparently underestimated the time of Germany... Let's see the British and the American Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,562 Posted August 2, 2021 #46 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Alright, now we know quite a lot more about what the German time means Still, this is with a mediocre Dygert, so let's see the Brits. Should be an clear medal though, although that was probably clear already. Edit: mediocre Dygert was a bit wrong, she destroyed the team because she was too strong. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

orangeman 1,323 Posted August 2, 2021 #47 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Massive disappointment by the Canadians. Top 4 would have been tough after Germany's time, but Aus left the door open. Unfortunately the Canadians imploded on the last few laps. Medal favorites to last place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 2, 2021 #50 Share Posted August 2, 2021 If this WR will stand, then I would be really interested to know how Germany improved that much. Obviously the most likely explanation is doping, but I wonder how Germany could have such a superior doping program in cycling while being shit in swimming/athletics/rowing.
