Is there a Chinese monopoly on table tennis?

Another juvenile delinquency medal handed out at the skate park. Dunno how the veteran Brazilian even made it, at the ripe old age of 23.

Choking?

 

[Spark]

Choking?

It's definitely one way to describe "team who barely scraped out of the pool stage loses to team that hasn't lost a game at the Olympics for just about 30 years".

 

[Burgey]

Yeah first quarter they’re shooting at like 20%. Was a genuine choke tbh, unfortunately

so you don’t have control over your own standard of performance? Itstl.

KJT 181 points down on her 2019 world championship score in the heptathlon, Thiam down 93 points.

KJT won the world champs by 304 points, but needs to do well in the next few events.

Ah, about that then.

So frustrating when injuries take people out in the Olympics

So we rule the waves and on horseback. Great day again to take us up the medals table. Not sure what chances we have left from here other than the team showjumping, Laura Price in boxing, Tom Daley and Laura Kenny.

The athletics injuries are such a shame for those involved. Just hope they all get over their respective problems.

Thought Bol was going to pull it off for a moment. Still a fantastic effort though.

 

[andruid]

Thank f*****Ng Goodness for Emmanuel Korir. Was really sweating that Kenya would go an entire Olympics without a single gold for the first time since 1964.

Sky Brown with the redemption

This is currently Australia's 3rd best Olympics ever, even without another medal.

Though one could argue that Beijing's 11 extra silver outweighed Tokyo's one extra gold, but if one were to argue that they would be as wrong as an American news agency.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah it's certainly made for a great distraction during lock down, that's for sure.

I also see a bloke from Georgia clean and jerked 585lbs (265kgs) and snatched 223kgs. Smashed the world record. That's insane. I mean, come on.

Yeah was a great run wasn't it? Gave himself every chance. Just quality.

Quite clearly choked.

Pfft, regularly jerk and clean bigger loads than that
