FIBA qualifications are broke. Too many pedestrian teams in basketball tourney. Basically final four + Spain were only good

Yeah, it's not the actual 12 best teams in the world. It's the host nation, the best team in each continent, and then the best teams left.

So teams like Nigeria, Iran, and Japan were always gonna get outclassed.

That's one thing I hate about track, and you see it from the youth level on up, is that they all try to seem too cool to actually go all out. It's as if the name of the game is who can ease up the most and still win.

Who started this nonsense...was it bolt walking during the heats and semis back in the day?

shyt is dumb af. nikka would be at home crying how he fukk'd that up. It's not like you running the finals the same day. Why the fukk these nikkas tryna be too cool.

Interesting that two gold medal winners (Duplantis and the Italian 100m dude) were eligible to compete for the US… US losing its pull?

the italian 100m dude was a long jumper before, he'd prob never get a chance at the 100m with the depth the US has

duplantis is prob a household name in sweden while the average american probably couldn't even name one pole vaulter

Except Usain bolt has always come in first in every heat/semis/finals he has ever raced in at the olympics.
