This nikka Norman be in his own head nowadays

Shame he couldn't run in 2020 cause that was the best he ever looked.

Been a rocky road since his hamstring injury

the 400m trayvon bromell

 

[GoPro]

This one of the most impressive finishes I’ve ever seen in track especially an event like the 400. I don’t even see how he found that extra gear he literally gave that EVERYTHING he had

he channeled the runaway slave ancestors on that one

 

[aceboon]

I think so she tried but the IOC or fiba I can’t remember which one wouldn’t let her or Nneka

Probably FIBA

You have to get permission from them if you want to switch from a country you’ve already played for

They usually let players do it if they’re switching from the U.S. They just let Eric Gordon switch to Bahamas and he won a gold medal with USA

yea it was FIBA that made the decision, I kinda get it with Nneka cuz she played with the USA senior team but I don't think Arike has any prior senior team experience

AP sources: Ogwumike denied by FIBA to play for Nigeria

Nneka Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams have been notified by FIBA that their petitions to play for Nigeria in the upcoming Olympics were denied because they played for the U.S. for too long, says two people familiar with the situation.

Of course. When majority of their population lives in bird cages, they got plenty of extra money left to bribe the sports officials, politicians, businesses, etc.

Thats a different conversation. China winning in weightlifting regardless if its clean or not isn't out of the ordinary in the Olympics.
