Yo so if you run in the qualifier but not the final you still get a medal?

Yep. Same thing was happening with the swim teams.

Yea I think as long as you’re on the relay team in any way you get one. Like when people run some of their B-teams in the qualifying rounds cause they know they’ll medal with the A-team later on

Sorta amusing/sad that after all the complaints about the IOC banning protest as if posters actually cared, this post got 6 daps but an obvious photoshop of a Japanese athlete in a Zimbabwe uniform got 15 daps.

I haven’t seen many wrestling posts in here so I wanted to make sure you guys saw this. Dude is a phenom and the youngest member of the men’s team, and he’s gonna go down as one of the GOAT heavyweights. And he’s still got several years of college eligibility if wants to use it all.

I fukk with France. In fact, I think most Americans do. There’s no America without France’s help during the revolution. With that being said… this is black America’s game. In the words of Al Davis, France must go down and they must go down hard.

If that final was 2 weeks ago I would be more confident but it seems the US team is now clicking better. I have little hope we can beat you but the pressure is on the US

i hope more youngster start running
stop trying to be a hip-hop artist and try track and field

Right now track is just seen as football conditioning. My sister is a track coach and she says football coaches grab them kids early, they at all the meets.

It was amazing. There are quite a few wrestling storylines that should have been headline news (maybe they were and I didn’t notice but I doubt it). Wrestling has never been a mainstream sport but it’s one of the oldest sports ever and it always feel like a missed opportunity when they don’t cover it heavily. Team USA literally racked up the medals and they’re still going.

I was gonna say, US men dominating and folk way more focused on the track disappointments than the wrestling successes.

Stevenson competing in the floor exercise in 2024 would be GOAT shyt.
