There are many kinds of beasts :o

"When you’re about to win an Olympic medal but your massive d*ck gets in the way while the whole world watches in slow motion."

“21-year-old French pole-vaulter Anthony Ammirati may have lost out on Olympic Gold, but I see big things in his future.”

“oh he brought that baguette to the games.”

“He’s going to stroll out of this Olympics with more ladies’ phone numbers than medals!”

“The one time in your life you wish your pen15 was smaller."
:lol:

Spoiler:

Auburn's Sunisa LEE edged out Belgium's Nina DERWAEL by 0.004 for Bronze! Yay, billy.pilgrim! Algeria's Kaylia NEMOUR, Gold, and China's Qiyuan QIU, Silver, both had higher start scores (difficulty) and executed flawlessly.

Suni and Simone both vie for Balance Beam medals at 06:38 EDT tomorrow. Brasil's Rebeca ANDRADE, Silver all around, is also in the mix.

After looking for it, I find the US womens basketball team is 2-0 and plays also 2-0 Germany today. Wonder if I would have had to go look for the scores/standings if Caitlin had been on the team, or if they would have gotten the Simone/Sha'Carrie treatment. Just askin'

Good question. Is race the reason or is it just Caitlin's well-deserved celebrity based on skill? :think: Anyhow, the game started 20 minutes ago and is being shown on USA.

Paris Olympics: Italy's Angela Carini abandons fight with Algeria's Imane Khelif, who failed gender test, after 46 seconds

It probably doesn't help that her name begins with 'I man". :D

Imane Khelif:

I guess she's always been female and is not transgender:

Women's Road Race Results
Spoiler:

Thrilling finish! Kristen FAULKNER, USA. Survived an early crash, looong chase to catch 2 leaders, then broke away from 3 others with 2km to go. Wow :clap:

If she had the nickname "Butch" and brought her girlfriend to the matches, probably nobody would have thought much about it.

One of the basketball players after last olympics commented on why they weren't the stars the soccer team was, saying "we're not little white girls with blonde ponytails..." and I suppose there could be some truth to that, although stars like Rapinoe don't exactly fit that mold.

-0-? The soccer stars have been White even if otherwise non-stereotypical, though I think Trinity Rodman will break that mold. Rapinoe, etc did have to fight for equal pay, but that was after the national team was so much better than the men for so many years. Otoh, male basketball superstars are mostly Black. Maybe it's just Black women that get dissed?

TIL, it's where the chest crosses.

Over 27 mph, wow, by comparison Tyreke Hill tops our about 22 mph.
