    They didnt let Russia compete!
    That’s what happens when you invade another country I feel for the athletes that work hard but Putin is to blame the athletes know that but they can’t protest him! They’re all be in Siberia in a camp.

    *invade another european country

    The US was sadly allowed to compete during their illegal war in Iraq.

    If you haven't been following the mens 1500 drama here it is.
    The two main shit talkers of the 1500 elites Kerr and Ingrebrigsten have been battling it out on twitter. Kerr was the winner of the last competition but Ingber made a statement in the semis by finishing first. There was this American guy named Cole Hocker.  They said he might win it all.  Well he did.  What a race he ran.  

    HUGE leg kick the last 200m or so.  Another American Nuguse whom wasn't expected to medal dug deep and willed a final kick to get Bronze.

    What a friggin race. Watch it!


    Oh yeah and womens McGlaughlin 400m hurdle champ dusted her competition.  Watch her in the finals Thursday against newcomer Bol. Should be a good race but Sydney should wreck it.

    A big hole in womens track is the 800m champ Athing Mu.  She fell in the trials.  I'm surprised she didn't come over as an alternate.I don't know enough about olympic politics to know...

    Hey I don’t make the rules but I agree all nations that are involved in aggression should be banned including this nation!

    They added a few oddballs this year.  That is one of them. Surfing, skating and wait for it.... Break Dancing are the others!

    When's break dancing. I remember as a 13 year old wearing a rain jacket hand painted on the back by a local older lad and carrying a massive tape player to the local co-op that had a shiny floor to break dance.

    What a friggin race. Watch it!


    Oh yeah and womens McGlaughlin 400m hurdle champ dusted her competition.  Watch her in the finals Thursday against newcomer Bol. Should be a good race but Sydney should wreck it.

    A big hole in womens track is the 800m champ Athing Mu.  She fell in the trials.  I'm surprised she didn't come over as an alternate.I don't know enough about olympic politics to know...


    That 1500m final yesterday was electric.  I actually caught it live during the day.  Funny to hear all the talk about the 2 favorites talking shit on twitter and then Hocker came out of nowhere to win it....what a finish!  And the other USA guy took bronze and missed silver by .01!

    McLuaghlin looks unbeatable in the 400 hurdles.  She makes it look so easy.

    The story ws totally on the two twitter fingers,  Hocker was mentioned to possibly win but the fun story was those two.
