Simone Manuel black swimmer wins gold in olympic swimming EDIT: 2 gold

Baby Girl did it....

I don't get the whole tie thing.
Why does the clock only go to hundreths of a second? Track events measure time to the millisecond if i'm not mistaken.

Do they both get gold and share the same spot when they get the metal?

They should fight for the gold in an empty pool like Van Dam in Blood Sport.

The freestyle swimming stroke actually comes from the Solomon Islands. It was brought to Australia by a couple of half white Solomon Islander kids, when they attended boarding school in Sydney. Their swimming stroke was so fast compared to other styles of swimming that it was soon adopted by everyone & became known as the "Australian Crawl", to disguise it's origins. Not many people know it's origins though.

It has to do with the way in which they time events (touch-pad versus photo) and the slight discrepancy in lane-length of man-made pools as opposed to a measured outside distance.

A swimming touch pad is an automatic electronic timing device used in swimming competitions. It accurately records an athlete’s time and eliminates human error. An "Athletic Business" article quotes Mick Nelson, Club Facilities Development Director for USA Swimming, as saying that with the use of touch pads “we're not at the mercy of the human reflexes of somebody pushing a button." These sensitive-to-the-touch devices record time within hundredths of a second.

While all this technology can break down the seemingly intuitive performance of athletes into hard numbers, there are limits to the power of statistics. The clocks, for example, can technically slice time down to one-one millionth of a second, but many sports federations, including swimming’s FINA, consider one-one hundredth of a second a tie. Why? Because at that level of precision, you have to be certain that the pool is built exactly symmetrically so that every lane is the exact same length down to fractions of millimeters. And even at one one-thousandth of a second, there can be no more than 1.7mm leeway difference in length — and pools are typically built to specifications that are within centimeters. Other sports allow greater precision — in sliding events and track cycling, for example, athletes are timed down to the thousandth of a second. But in a pool, “how can you guarantee that each lane is measured precisely to fractions of a millimeter?” says Peter Heurzeler, the past president of Omega Timing who recently retired after clocking athletes at world championships and Olympics since 1969.

Basically, because they can't be certain that the pools are 100 percent equal in length for all lanes, they have agreed to be slightly less precise in their timing of the events. Why time it in milliseconds if you can't be certain that the length of the pool was measured in millimeters?

the coli bedbucks are quiet as a mouse

What i find funny is black men are suppose to love every black woman they see, But black women don't have to do the same for black men. She is cute but she lacks body

That wasn't the point...
It was Ledecky vs Simone

Black girl winning gold got you really upset huh white boy?


Neg train started.

@bdizzle @Wenzel Dashington @Ziggiy you know what to do.

Why'd you 1* the thread

So would I

 

[Ohms Law]

He mentioned you because he wants to know why you gave this thread 1 star

Why'd you 1* the thread

Because your c*nt of a mother told me to
