We could start adding in for track the 200 meter backwards run, and the 100 meter handstand sprint, just to bring track up to speed (Crossfit has actually done the 2nd one as a competitive event, just not the Olympics yet...). Along with the already added 20k/50k race walk.

Add a 50m cartwheel and 50m flickflack!

When I was in Florida I stayed out of the fresh water for the most part on account of snakes. Too many damn water moccassins down there, those things are assholes.

Can confirm. From Texas to FL to NC I wouldn't bother. Too many times swimming as a kid and had unknowns sliding in contact with skin.

Nothing to do with transgender issues (at least, not yet it isn't) but just strikes me as another example of how strange high-level sport is. A life entirely devoted to jumping into bodies of standing water (and immediately climbing out of them again). For the purposes of national prestige.

Chen Yiwen's gold on Friday kept up China's 100 per cent record at the Paris Games with one event to go

Diving is a standard aspect of swimming teams at all levels. I remember from my middle and high school days that in the midpoint of the meets, you'd have the competitive diving, and those are points that would go to help carry your team to victory.

Ok. I definitely think that we should put you up n charge of the new events!


TBH some of the cycling events are incomprehensible. What the hell is going on in that one where the guy in front nearly stops and the other guy isn't allowed to whizz past going "see you loser!"?

Essentially the rider in the rear has the advantage by being able to draft. There is a bit of a tactical battle in the beginning trying to be in the rear to get the draft, but there is the danger of getting a bit too far back. Also there is a battle to get a good track position.
 
Im in a few right wing groups on fb and this has been doing the rounds of course.

It's been fun. First you get them riled up and frothing and then you ask them what restroom she should use.. The collective brain melt is delicious.

He is allowed but the guy in front typically ends up losing. Ever heard of drafting? Works exceptionally well on bicycles. Guy trackstands in an attempt TO get the following guy to try zooming by.
 
Have we seen any show of support and congratulations from those hateful conservatives? After all the USA athletes were very successful and won in the medal count.

My guess too much diversity for them to acknowledge.

They might not all be willing to give you their real answer, which would be "none" after they string her up like they used to do in the old days to "undesirables".

Like the Republican chosen by the Republicans to run for the most esteemed position on the planet?

Trump: - “I’d like to congratulate the woman who transitioned from a man into a boxer”

Summary of conservative hate for our Olympians. Not one of them or and Republican congratulated Simone Biles or any of
Our record setting representatives.

I like that one. I'll have to try it out.

I've been using this response.
Conservatives are obviously having a come apart because biological science proves that there are people with different physical and genetic makeups that aren't pure male or female under their definition. I recommend that conservatives be forced to take human biology classes to become more informed.
