Crazy thing is the judges admitted they scored Chiles wrong, but they just didn’t appeal in time.

the cruelty of it. I hope shes ok and comes back. Kick all their asses next time.

did you guys see that high jump mini-drama last night?
and they couldve agreed to share the medal, but no, it had to end up being a dick measuring contest

stuff like that brings a light hearted touch to all of it. Youd have to laugh at that it was funny situation

So this lady ran heats and finals in the 5k and 10k in the track, got bronze in both. Incredible, right? SHE JUST WON THE FUCKING MARATHON.

i couldnt finish a sentence about what i know about basketball, but the olympics courts..are they the same size as regular courts?

they seemed smaller somehow?

They are a little smaller.

(W)NBA courts are 94 foot long, 50 foot wide. FIBA courts are 92/49.

The lane is rectangular in W/NBA. It's a trapezoid in FIBA, which I think is the biggest reason why it feels or seems to look so different.

mad. US courts just seem a lot lot bigger..maybe it was all the crap they had printed on the floor in the olympic courts (found it very distracting tbh but what do i know)

Watching the closing ceremony now

It’s been so fun

The hymn to Apollo. Played at the first Olympics.

Powerful stuff.

So many athletes winning gold. Despite them all having asthma.
And the next Olympics are in LA? Isn’t the air crazy polluted there?
Hopefully their special inhaler medicine will get them all through.
Im sure it will.

Sifan Hassan from The Netherlands. She's a contender in all distances from 800m to (obviously) the marathon, where she got an Olympic record on what was a pretty difficult course (elevation, heat). Perhaps the most versatile distance runner of all time. Legendary shit.

Holy shit. Not even verb can do that.

Oof This LA portion of the closing ceremony is cringe
