    Its tough.  Im not going to judge the best athletes in the world.  It’s a different time.  As a former (non-Olympian lol) athlete I do believe that there’s pros to pushing through the nerves and anguish and crap you’re going through but again we don't know what her mind is like or what its like at that level.   

    Her warmups looked terrible so i think her team probably was better off.  It’s just tough in general to prepare for 5 years and then not get to compete.  It is what it is man.  The Russians looked pretty good anyway.  Might not have mattered.  
    Well if she wasn't the best person to be competing, and the mental clearly affected the physical, that's another story.  I guess it's like the time Chuck Knoblaugh forgot how to throw from second to first for a few weeks. 
    Dude I had that happen to me my sophomore year of high school (and I played 2nd lol) Frustrating as hell. I had to go to a sports psychologist to help me out.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    When I wasin high school,  I played 3rd. I got this thing in my head that I had bobbled the ball and it was at my feet,  when in reality it was in my glove.  Did it like 4x in a row.  It was the strangest thing.

    There’s just some countries you never root for. Russia leads that list especially when they aren’t even supposed to be competing!

    Not a place to root for.  The people, yes....the country?  Fuck no.
    Just crazy.  The way they abuse their athletes is crazy.

    This was an atrocity but it is not the way that the govt sets things up to run, it was a sick twist of the system by some sick and greedy fucks. 

    A + B does not equal C.  I am sure you know this but it is more fun to deflect than it is to own up to rooting for a piece of shit organization like Russian athletics because you like to troll the US. 

    Have your fun, it makes no impact on anything else.

    I spent some time in Russia just after the fall of the Soviet Union.  Met some absolutely amazing people and was horrified to see/learn of the impact of their govt.  Easy to type on a keyboard while stoned and think you are funny.  A bit different to know people who understand what it really means when people only look at total douchelords like Alexander Ovechkin and laud him because he is great at hockey and not at what the system there puts regular people through to try and produce public stooges like AO.
