Dad recently fell and is now wheelchair bound. Tweet indicates first time a female of asian descent wins.: Research shows: Suni Lee is the first individual winner of the gold in all round; however the entire Chinese team won the team all around gold in 2008. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it hush-hush by the IOC, for fear of upsetting the host of their next games in less than a year? Or is it pressure from across the strait? Both? From https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4259733 : Yeah.. not to mention some of the Chinese athletes in the women's events look / are men.

I think we can all agree that a human being, labeled as gender female, from MN, USA, won the gold in individual all around artistic gymnastics. All the categorizations can go on and on. But since it is the Olympics, a gold for US it is. Hopefully no doping or Marijuana disqualifications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pop of 1.4 billion, they can easily find the rare extremes of human variation that will excel at a certain event. They have the political will and money invested in atheletics. You ever wonder why poor and small countries don't win Olympic medals often? Why does US always win ton of medals every time? Better doping or more money and investment? Maybe both. Lance Armstrong was pretty good at it. China win a lot of men's event too. Then you have guys saying they are all doping. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re telling me you believe all of the above were born as a female? I’m Chinese and I find it extremely suspicious.

AV's Coin Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Oleksiak 4th by 7 hundreths. Once again she closed the best but was too far behind. Long and slow stroke - pure power at the end. If she picked up her turnover she could be unbeatable maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV's Coin Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Is backstroke for the swimmers that dont like getting their face in the water? Breaststroke has a cool name when it should be called the Froggie Why dont they have races for side stroke or dog paddle? or 50m underwater races - if I recall its faster to swim under water than to do the breast stroke.

Hell of a field in that final. 4th by .07 shows how close that competition in the pool was. Barely out touched, and one hell of an Olympics for her. 3 more years of competition, will she be good to go? Canada hopes so.

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Why is there no football(American) in the Olympics? Seems like every other professional sport is in the Olympics whether it's summer or winter, the big ones Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Golf even, but no Football.... I'm not even a big football fan, but seeing how all these other big sports have olympic events I'm surprised there is no football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in your thoughts on the beach game - which for me is just too indefensible. Simply too easy to find so much space - court is too large for two players, and footing is loose/slower = too few rallies - far too easy to kill - for me it's like watching tennis when you have a couple 6'8" servers who blast away (usually with one dimensional baseline games to go with that) - endless short rallies - incredibly boring. I think the beach game needs to change - needs to be a three player game - that way you could actually defend the court - I think it would be a lot more interesting (you might also get a bit more variation in the type(s) of players that could be successful at the beach game).
