Did not expect that much of a difference honestly. Nigerian woman had like a 50 meter lead over the closest man at the start and she finished last
2021 Summer Olympics (Tokyo)

- Start date
Wolves are range predators and can cover about 50 km a day. The average domestic dog can cover about 40 km everyday. Huskies can pull a sled for 100 km a day for 7 days on the run. A husky has a VO2 max of about 250, the highest recorded in a human is 90. Although Huskies have been artificially genetically selected to reach that incredible level of stamina it’s safe to say that the Canis genus is ahead of humans when it comes to stamina.

Should be winning at this point.
Indeed. USWNT making some serious blunders giving the ball away around their box.
Reasonable point.
Would be sad if Miedema will go out of this tournament.
She looks a level above everyone else.

Damn I thought that was the goal there
Entertaining match this was.
Penalties to decide it
Dutch formula in action here. Be by far the better team. Miss a penalty to win. Lose on penalties

Poor penalties by the dutch.
Does anyone else feel like there are far too many players on each team in volleyball?
Its so crowded in there

It was a shock, the Nigerian man looked like he was running with a bunch of kids.
“For anyone saying I quit. I didn’t quit, my mind and body are simply not in sync. As you can see. I don’t think you realize how hard this is on hard/competition surface. Nor do I have to explain why I put health first. Physical health is mental health. I’m supposed to do 1 ½ more twists.”
"No, this was not happening before I left the USA. It randomly started happening after prelims competition the VERY next morning. By that time NO an alternate was not allowed to be placed in my position for you ‘know it alls.’”
“We have 4 on a team for a reason,” she continued. “I chose to not continue competition in jeopardizing losing a medal (of any color) for the girls/US. Also for my own safety and health.”
Watching the trampolining, the height they get 
and constant somersaults
I did trampolining at school and liked seat drops and front drops (obviously far too basic for this!) I never attempted a Somerset too scared of landing on my neck, I also didn't do height!!

Character.A bit out of topic but while badminton still produces classics such as today's final, in my opinion it lacks the drama of gruelling, grinding hour-plus matches as often seen during the days of the old scoring system. In balance the old system was better for everyone involved apart from marketing and TV execs. As a matter of fact I lost my keen interest in the sport right after they adopted the new one, only to have caught the bug again in the past few years (though nowhere near as keen as before).
I am a bit undecided on it tbh. While the serve is definitely disadvantageous and i can see the argument for having only points won on your serve to count( more grinding, tough matches), i'm also a filthy casual and prefer shorter matches for my viewing experience. We might never get the epics between Lee Chong wei and Lin Dan again but having every exchange count for a point brings it's own tension and drama. I'd be okay with whatever the players feel is most fair honestly.
In my opinion the current scoring system is way too punishing, so to speak, for certain types of players, and watching one of today's men's doubles semifinals has reinforced my conviction on this. It's made the sport rather one-dimensional in terms of playing style where explosiveness is valued more than anything else. I also happen to think that endurance and stamina are key components of badminton as a sport (or at least the badminton I grew up with being around badminton fanatics).
It's been fifteen odd years since they adopted the current system and I still haven't warmed to it. There have been occasions indeed where it felt so foreign to me it's like watching a different sport.
What happened to Pakistan Hockey?
Just realised Caroline Dubois is sister of Daniel.

The triathlon mixed relay is an incredible event
23 second lead, should get gold from here
It’s brilliant. I only realised last week that these mixed relays were being introduced this Games and they’re a really fantastic addition. Massively adds to the sense of team cohesion and heightens the drama.
Yee on his way!
I’d so much love to be able to do what these guys do incredible!
Worried about how well France are going here
This is not good
This going to be a great finish..
Yee has absolutely sent it on this run
Yee so fast
Yee pulling away nicely. Yee love to see it.
Well done Team GB, Yee is a little super star…
