Didn't make it out of the heats

But like did he just have a bad race, did he ease up and someone bolted past him orrr??

An Italian named Lamont, I can't get over that

The father is an American soldier whose name he bears, the mother is Italian: Marcell was born in El Paso, a typical western film city, used as an ideal setting by great directors such as Sergio Leone (“For a few dollars more”), Quentin Tarantino (“Kill Bill”) and the Coen brothers (“It’s not a country for old people”). The American parenthesis, however, lasts only a remnant of childhood because, due to the separation of the parents, Marcell returns to Italy at the age of one and a half, growing up with his mother Viviana in Desenzano del Garda.

“As an American I only have muscle fibers, I feel 100% Italian”, he always repeats to those who ask him about his origins, admitting among other things that he “limps” a little with English

de Grasse has definitely set himself up to show out in the 200. Once he managed to hit his stride frequency he made up ground on the pack within 20-30m. He'll have a better feel for the track and know when to push through more than the other competitors.

Joint gold medals in the high jump, fitting end for the best edition in Olympic history

I thought that the Asian guy had placed for a second when he snatched up that flag

He is putting the world on notice that China is taking over rather y’all like it or not
