Our boy Daniel Wiffen was propped up to be a shoo in for the gold at the mens 1500 in the swimming, but no shame losing to Bobby finke of the US setting a new world record.

US, Italian, and Irish flags up besde each other..pretty much every american argument ever

It turns out that David Crosby isn't dead after all

Was one of the issues having to compete against dudes? K.L. dominates for a reason.

i love that certain countries like the US and Uk and Sweden and Germany etc, only pick these etheral otherwordly elven looking beautiful people..

but the rest of the world is like fuck it. just send bob...

theres gotta be a reason for it..

in the US sense it is a lot to do with cosmetics..the whole appearance is part of it..they aint pickin Bob no matter how good his time is

Medals per head of population. Countries with relatively tiny populations like Ireland and New Zealand way outstrip the big boys.

You guys need to pull your socks up and work harder.


Medal to Population Ratio (per million)

China 0.01
USA 0.1
United Kingdom 0.4
France 0.4
Australia 0.7

Ireland 0.9
New Zealand 0.8

that has to be within the margin of error for the measuring device?

no way they can detect with that accuracy

should be a do-over

and triple the length of the race

so there's no confusion

and money is no object

Papa Wease kept arguing with me today that this was swimming and not running.

Nah. In sprinting it’s the torso over the line not head or feet or limbs. Lyles was clearly first torso over when you look at the frame by frame

Specifically the clavicle. It was only 5 thousandths of a second, but clearly visible in the still image.

GG USA. Back on top after 20 years.
