The Official 2024 Paris Summer Olympics Thread (from July 26 - August 11) - Closing Ceremony replay at 7pm EST

[MikelArteta]

There's levels to this shyt.

They practice for what a couple of weeks if that in a holding camp. Burrell Mitchell Marsh and Lewis had been practicing and racing as unit for years. You do not get that level of chemistry in a couple day or weeks

yup the canadian team has been together for like 8 years+

could prob have a crisp handoff blindfolded

 

[Apprentice]

The main nbc channel has been horrendous covering the events that are the most competitive

 

[Skyjacker]

I never ran track but that shyt gotta be harder than it looks

It is the fundamentals of relay races, good handoffs are taught as early as high school track.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Would Hall be better off just focusing on the 800?

She did well... I think it's more impressive to win this than if you just win the 800M but

 

[Methodical]

Knew it gonna be these

 

[MikelArteta]

What?

how do you qualify with that, can't believe they brought that bs breakdancing in and didn't bring back baseball or even softball

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

NBC aint gonna call a foreigner the fastest man on earth....if Noah was disqualified NBC would be looking to call the 5000m winner or the 200 IM in swimming the fastest man on earth as long as they yanks....

at no point did anyone in the US claim anyone but Usain Bolt was fastest man alive, or GOAT. If Justin Gatlin had got him we would've.

Michael Johnson / NBC / USA thing had to do with the fact that the games were IN ATLANTA. And he set the world record in the 2nd most prestigious event, the 200m. So yeah, we told our story. You can tell your story. It was a special situation, but outside of that, 100m winner has always been universally acknowledged as fastest man on earth.

 

[Miggs]

Why you worried about NBC so much? Where they showing the Olympics in Canada TSN or something? Watch them...

I aint worried about NBC at all, im talking about a time when NBC was being disingenuous due to xenophobia...my point doesnt extend beyond that.

 

[chkmeout]

I'm gonna need a team with mostly nikkas to win a major soccer tournament please!!!

[MikelArteta]

Why do they hate each other when yall rep USA the same? Do they really hate Noah like that?

I know that he was upset that Lyles was assigned a better lane than him for the 200m race. He protested the decision, and he was right; his qualifying time was better, so he should have been given the better lane.

[The axe murderer]

how do you qualify with that, can't believe they brought that bs breakdancing in and didn't bring back baseball or even softball
