Imagine how many gymnasts who didn’t make the team are feeling right now. Wishing they were in her spot. Tough time to pull out.
Also remember Simone Biles was one of the gymnasts sexually assaulted. When anyone does their job as well as she, if they say they need time off, they do. In 2016 Brittney Griner did not participate in Olympics due to injury. Haters claimed without evidence it was because she isn't really a woman, something the girls and women with whom she shared locker rooms never noticed. Guess who is playing on the US women's Olympic basketball team?
Drugs and the promise the women in his family would be raped and his whole family would be killed if he didn't win the gold.
US Women's soccer went to PK's this morning. Ended up winning 4-2 as the US goalie blocked 2 PK's. On to the semifinals.
They look off. Cannot believe how many offside calls they have drawn. A medal is definitely not guaranteed.
Ma Long with the "upset" over Fan Zhengdong for table tennis gold. Those who don't know Ma Long is older, and potentially the GOAT table tennis player - Fan Zhengdong is the younger of the two, also extremely talented.
Is it just me or is NBC doing a really bad job on the Olympics this year? Seems like it's impossible to know when (or where) they will showing any particular event, their announcers often don't seem to understand the sport, and they show two-day-old repeats instead of new live events. barfo
After vaccines and Capitol police, the right hates US Olympic athletes. First all the privileged white males who couldn't jump over a cheeseburger piled on Simone Biles, calling her disgrace and sociopath. Now they are gibbering with glee that women's soccer team won't be in gold medal game.
Megan Rapinoe criticized Trump after he attached them for taking the knee during World Cup. A Republican running for Arizona governor just said Olympics unwatchable due to "anti-American" athletes, just before Arizona based gymnast won gold. One woman worked her ass off her whole life to win a medal for her sport and country. Another supported a violent attempted insurrection because a failed businessman and reality TV host said to. Just who hates America?
