IOC just stripped Russia of 2008 Gold Medal in 4 x 100 relay because one of them tested positive

:x :x

So are they moving all the other teams up 1 slot?

 

[shogun]

I didn't even know Russia had a gold medal in any relays. Has me wondering what's the oldest blood samples they have stored. In 2024 all these swimmers will have their medals taken away.

That Spain v Turkey women's basketball was LIT

The Serbia/Australia one was lit also. Leilani Mitchell on Australian though.

Devon Allen gotta try to qualify on time to final of 110m hurdles

 

[eracism]

Booing that French pole vaulter on the medal stand. C'mon.

Now he's crying... hopefully from the pride of his silver medal.

Sydney finished. :\

Ashley Spencer

Clutchness from the USA

 

[Xennial]

Spencer's flat 400 speed really helped her there

 

[IATT]

Sydney finished. :\

going be interesting to see what she does going forward

51.87 in the 4.. And 54.15 in the 4 hurdles

Her personal best in the 100 hurdles is from 2 years ago, 13.34.. Also has a 23.5 200





I think she'll get a shot on the prelims of the 4x400 relay.. Us usually uses some of the hurdlers in qualifying

 

[Xennial]

Kerron Clement looked good in semis, he should finally get his gold medal if he runs clean in the final

 

[Arthur Shelby]

S/O to Jeffrey Julmis

 

[eracism]

Schippers. Sup gurl.

 

[Xennial]

This first semis for womens 200 is loaded.  Prandini got a good draw to be in the 2nd

 

[shogun]

Schippers bae got 1st.

 

[shogun]

Looked like they were gonna kiss.

 

[second2nonee]

Not really feeling Schippers... her jaw too strong 

 

[IATT]

Wasn't expecting that sub 22

 

[shogun]

I want her to do squats while holding me on her shoulders.

 

[Xennial]

Schippers and Thompson are going to go at it in the final

 

[shogun]

Worked out for Hamblin. She advanced to the final and good press for her.

 

[Peep Game]

Is there something wrong with my TV, or was there really two different announcers being fused together? I heard Ato Bolden talking while a deep voiced female talked over him

 

[shogun]

Prandini got a good hairline.

 

[Xennial]

If Schippers is going to beat Elaine in the final it's going to be have to running the turn, Elaine's got the superior speed on the straightaway

 

[Xennial]

and smh at Prandini not making the finals after getting the great draw in the weakest of the 3 semis
