Who's the competition?
Tadej Pogacar. Who has already won bronze in the Cycling Road Race but he also won the Tour de France the week before. Making him the first cyclists to win the Tour/Olympic road race medal double in the same year. And he's also the same age as Luka so they will be going back and forth for the next decade.

Catching this replay of women’s gymnastics. This gymnast been in 8 Olympics.
Yeah, Jan Ullrich did it the other way around in 2000 in Sydney as he finished second place behind Lance at the tour but take revenge by getting the gold medal in the road race (and silver in the time trial).

Carapaz who won the gold came third in the Tour this year. Really strange that the Tour winner never won a medal in the road race prior to his year.
Bradley Wiggins actually did the Tour/Olympic Gold double in 2012 but his gold was in the ITT
Often the road race is not that difficult in terms of mountains. So it's more for the classic riders and sprinters. In 2000 Ulrich launched the attack with Klöden and Vinokurow (not in the german team obvious but a telekom team mate) at the only little climb. With three such strong people it was enough to pull through. It is said that Lance was furious in the peloton.

Of course. Bradley Wiggins said as much pre race. Some of these guys (non GC riders) are racing for next seasons contract. And with the teams being so small in the Olympic road race, trade team help and orders are likely to happen. Carapaz besides his fellow countryman and only teammate who rides for Ineos as well he had another 10 trade teammates in the race. You could even see his Polish trade teammate help him out on occasion when Pogacar tried to do his initial attacks.
Lance was just pissed because most of his trade team weren't in the race because they were American anyway.

Giannis scored 50 to close out the finals series, with elite defense, and it feels as if the sports media and players are celebrating this group stage game by Luka more. It's pathetic 
He's a great player but they are pushing him to be the face soooo desperately.

NBA season done. Got to move on to the next thing which is the Olympics. If the finals was held in its usual calendar date. Giannis would of gotten more spotlight but it isn't.
Yes I understand. I'm just saying there is wayyy too much excitement about this game against Argentina team that doesn't play any defense. They are acting like he just won them a medal.

Tbh after KD isn't Luka the biggest star playing in the basketball tournament? So he's going to get headlines regardless anyway

When is the mixed relay?any order
imagine putting a woman last and she gets run down
The mixed relay will entail teams of four athletes - two women and two men - racing against each other, with each athlete running once around the track before the next person on their team begins their run. Individual teams can decide for their athletes to run in any order they prefer, with two men followed by two women, vice versa or even alternating male and female athletes.
Tactics are an important aspect of the race, keeping in mind that male Olympians are on average six seconds faster than their female counterparts. It allows for a range of different race strategies that can leave the crowd on the edge of their seats until the very last seconds of the race.
and I’m dying cuz I think I mentioned doing mixed relays (for track) in the 2012 thread and got shyt on hard by brehs who post here, but here we are
