That's her split with a running start, she wouldn't have beaten Paulino in the 400m this yr but would've likely been battling Naser for Silver. If she focuses on just the 400 flat going forward no telling how much she can improve tho

I don’t think Flavor Flav becoming a beloved olympic icon was on anyone’s bingo card. Props to this man for using his wealth to uplift folks

trying not to let raygun’s performance distract me from the fact that there was some dope breaking that happened. it was hella competitive and judged by folks who are respected within the breaking community
Hopefully it does come back at a future Olympic games. Watching gymnastics’ floor routines, there’s a lot of similarities between the movements gymnasts do and what these cats are doing in cyphers.
Last battle was fuego.

"Breaking was invented by African American teens in New York City in the 1970s, so I thought 'Who better to represent that culture than me?'"

Raygun might not have won, but she made a name for herself. Can easily cash in with appearances if she wanted to

I believe there’s yet another appeal process US Gymnastics is planning to try, but yeah, as of now she’s been stripped of the medal.

I read they just denied that appeal. In any case at this point if I were here id just leave it be, dont want a constant tug and be hopeful for nothing.
Same for the other chick who has the bronze now, how she gonna enjoy it if there could be still appeals going on and she could be stripped of it too.

Yea the flag football stuff is a farce but the NFL have been lobbying for years for it to be a part of LA 28 so it's probably gonna happen
Probably gonna be one and done for future games though

And on boxing, why are they dumping it? Is it because of the Khelif controversy?

They’re having issue trying to find a credible and universally recognized governing body for it.

Boxing is one of the most corrupt sports around. They also got rid of headgear. It's stupid to send amateurs out there to destroy their brains for free.

Who even plays American football like that outside of the US?
Lacrosse is dope, but again does any other country really play it? Id think field hockey is more popular.
US just picking sports it knows it can win a gold in.

They didn't give up boxing for Flag Football
The international sanctioning body for boxing got suspended by the IOC for judging corruption and ties to Russia in 2019.
The IOC has been running the boxing program for the past two Olympics, and they want to stop because that's the only sport where that happens.
They have given all relevant boxing organizations a deadline to form a new International Governing body for amateur boxing. If they can't, then no boxing going forward.
-And there is no guarantee flag football remains beyond 2028.

I cool with breaking not coming back.
Expectations were low for it, and I still found it disappointing
All the extra drama around it probably means it is cooked.
