  1. I mean, for one, Mark McKoy was almost certainly doping in 1992.
  2. Canada should probably be shamed for the one who got away with it (Mark McKoy), not one of the few cheaters from that era that got actually caught.
  3. This is why you want to make sure to finish the 4x100m if you make it to the finals because you never know xD
  4. I guess now Canadian media will become obsessed with Jacobs, only for Blake or Rodney to test positive
  5. I mean I, for one, would very much like to see the FIG embrace men's rhythmic gymnastics. It's actually a sport I wanted to try out as a kid but was told I couldn't do for reasons.
  6. I’m really not seeing any knowledgeable neutral observers call this result into question. The most I’ve seen is people criticizing the rhythmic code of points.
  7. It honestly amazed me it took so long for the ICC to internally agree that trying to get T20 in the Olympics was a good idea...
  8. This is the second high profile track cyclist to die by suicide recently (after Kelly Catlin's death in 2019). Talk a difficult couple of years for such a tight knit sport community.
  9. It was really funny seeing ORs being broken at the Olympics and knowing “ya those will last for about a week”
  10. Well, stayed until the final outro. Now we have to do this all over again in like six months xD
  11. Okay but seriously that CGI Paris 2024 flag looks terrible.
  12. This is the most depressing rendition of La Marseillaise I have ever heard. Normally this is a song that makes me want to drop everything and join the Foreign Legion, this rendition makes me want to take a nap.
  13. Japan did as well as they could given *waves at the world* and deserves a lot of credit for just putting on the Olympics at all. Good luck France, I'm sure you'll do great.
  14. Well now we can't accuse them of not including some deep cut Japanese cultural stuff.
  15. My schedule now is getting back on my timezone and decompressing for a bit. Before I know it I'll be consumed by winter Olympics related nonsense.
  16. I mean there's a reason why the ceremonies are my least favourite part of the Olympics.
  17. I'm kind of surprised they don't do a re-enactment of the 1976 men's team foil medal ceremony every Olympics.
  18. This may sound harsh, but IMO if a sport depends on the Olympics it's more an argument to axe it than to keep it.
  19. I have a lot of qualms about the format and the rules, but I do feel like a sport with a well established pro circuit with a lot of serious competitors that was healthy before the IOC got involved really deserves some credit for obviously doing something right (see also: surfing, climbing or my favourite whipping boy, karate).
  20. What's kind of funny is that most people I know that follow sports casually just sort of assumed skateboarding was already in the Olympics.
  21. I wonder if he introduces himself as an Olympic champion from 1976 in fencing in casual conversations.
