Prozac Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 As a counter to the Simone Biles quitting discussion, I propose this thread where we can celebrate triumphs free of any political side discussions. Just watched swimmers Caleb Dressel and Bobby Finke absolutely kill it in the 50 free and 1500 free respectively. What a couple of absolute champions! Finke came back from third place to absolutely dominate the last 50 meters of the 1500 which is a truly grueling event. ‘Murcia! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaputt Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The Qatar and Italian high jumper go height for height the entire competition and both end up tied. Instead of electing for a jump off to determine the winner they agree to share the gold. Hands down one of the best Olympic moments of all time and what this is all about. The video their reactions is a must watch. https://youtu.be/GjSCT97GSsA Top High Jumpers decide to SHARE Gold in instant-classic final | Tokyo Olympics | NBC Sports 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slc Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Women's beach volleyball has been phenomenal as well!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNBAR Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The Olympics are a funny thing. My default position is I don't care in the least about them, especially in this day and age of wokey this and wokey that. My wife, however, is a lifetime Olympic fiend, so the games are on constantly in my house. It's kind of funny how, one minute I don't give a damn, and the next minute life as I know it will be over if the women's volleyball team doesn't defeat Cuba. And the men's swimming medley was phenomenal. So, yeah, it's still entertaining. Hats off to the genuine Olympic rock stars who do phenomenal things and are proud of the nation that supports them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Many ads have been trying to monetize race baiting, like many of our politicians. I have also noted that I haven't seen NBC put up a SINGLE medal count during the prime time that I've had it on after the kids are in bed. Wonder if they think that would be too patriotic. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Polo ad. It was unapologetically American and overall very counter to the current political direction of our country. Next time I'm buying church clothes, I'm buying a Polo brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger41 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 USA Men’s Wrestling won 2 gold medals in crazy dramatic last second fashion. David Taylor and Gable Stevenson. Kyle Dake and Thomas Gilman won a bronze and Kyle Snyder is going for Gold Saturday. https://youtu.be/fSXPmihrX3c https://youtu.be/ADcFirJcob4 The women’s wrestling team is also bringing home serious hardware. Love to see it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
