  1. I agree with this. I don't think it would be sensible to have a policy that said "you have to be vaccinated, unless you had COVID" because then you might have athletes who claim they had COVID to avoid getting the jab. Especially since this seems to be a thing.. Are some NFL players using fake vaccination cards?
  2. That's a big if. There's only 5 months til the games, so I don't think their efforts will get organized in time to have a serious effect
  3. Probably around a 9. Might have been an 8, but given the circumstances to get here and all the uncertainty that lead up to it, hard to expect for more than we got. A massive thank you to everyone involved for pulling it all off
  4. Actual substantiated rumors? Or more like the buzz we heard the week leading up to the Olympics where it was like "we're monitoring the situation closely" and some media outlets were like "they might cancel the Olympics"
  5. Gold medal! First time the American women have been on the top step of the podium
  6. USA tied with China with 38 gold medals. US with 3 shots left at gold. China only has 1. Go
  7. Pure domination by the US 4x400 squad. Another gold for Allyson Felix. Love it!!
  8. I can't remember this many misses before. And Canada wins it
  9. Great defending by Canada in that last sequence to deny Sweden a go-ahead goal
  10. Italy.. seriously? Wow, who saw that coming. First time there have been 2 European squads on the podium since 1988
  11. Pretty impressive for her to come back at age 35 and win a medal. Great job by her. Hopefully she can add 1 to her collection and make it 11 total for her career to pass Carl Lewis for most by an American in a sport other than swimming
  12. That was definitely something to see! So we get a rematch in the final. USA looking for revenge. Looking forward to it!!
  13. Bases clearing double in the bottom of the 8th for Japan, just missing a grand slam home run. Japan now leads 5-2
  14. Our announcers were talking about a potential podium sweep, but that's awesome for De Grasse. Glad to see him finally win a gold
  15. Another 400 hurdles record absolutely destroyed. Incredible race
  16. The pandemic can 100% be blamed. I can't speak to a non-American perspective, but getting excited about the Olympics is something that requires a strong lead-up. The Olympics didn't have that this year. We had people all over the world who doubted they would even happen (or should happen). Sure, the competition has been everything an Olympics should be, but given the state of the world right now, there isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that interest in the Olympics would be much higher if not for the pandemic
  17. 14 gold medals in artistic gymnastics and a grand total of 1 athlete wins multiple golds.. Daiki Hashimoto. No one else won more than 1. That's a rarity.
  18. Need to see the numbers from an Olympics not tainted by a pandemic. Only so much we can figure from the numbers here
  19. Holy crap, Warholm went under 46 seconds. That's insane
  20. 5 games and they fail to score in 3 of them. Never had it this tournament
  21. Another gold for the United States, Jade Carey for the win!
