    Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

    I understand your point. It's true that certain countries appear to have a very systematic approach when it comes to doping. Russia and China certainly come to mind. But even if there seems to be less involvement of state actors in Europe and North America, there have been countless athletes...

    Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

    I'm not sure if having just one testicle has any impact on performance. And I don't know if you followed cycling back then, but there was alway suspicion around Armstrong. From his very first Tour win there were rumours about doping and they really intensified with the second win in 2000. In...

    No, but I think he will run under 19.30 and that's sensational too. But 19.19? That's more than a tenth of his personal best of 19.31. Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met Tapatalk

    They're all doing it at this point, I'm surprised how few lawsuits there have been in the past. Reminds me of this case I had once. Dude was being investigated for a crime, but he was acquitted in the and. Now his stocks were seized by the prosecutor pending investigations. He couldn't sell the...

    'Murica!

    Lol I know, he just comes out and says it at this point. People are so used to his rants they don't actually listen to what he says. But basically he has literally stated no one will need to vote again once they vote him in and that he will support good policy for whoever pays him off. And...

    It is and in the case of India it's even easier because some cultural habits are so far removed from what we are used to. It works the other way around as well. For example Western Europeans have no problem making eye contact with strangers and in some cultures this is perceived as quite...

    Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

    I don't think you really grasp the mindset and stress of a 100m sprinter. They need to be as hyped up and focussed as possible, because you want to react to the gun as quickly as possible. Sure, it's not only the first 10 meters that count, but if the difference is literally in the thousands...

    Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

    Again, I wrote it poorly. I'm talking about dancing before the race. I just completely disagree. I think you can do whatever the hell you want before a 100m race in terms of theatrics. It's part of what makes the 100m. And yes, if Lyles loses, you get to mock him. You get to criticise him for...

    Agreed. Part of it is also being abroad. Because you're not in your home country, you're more anxious and things appear more dangerous than they are. It's really stupid, but the only time in my life I was actually scared I might get killed was when I was at a campground in Montana. There was...

    Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

    So am I. I phrased it poorly. I can't stand it when people criticise 100m runners for their antics before a race. They stick their necks out. If they lose, everyone's going to call them out. As is right. But Lyles didn't lose. He won. If he wins, you keep quiet. Especially because their antics...

    No. Which is why it surprises me that you have. With the drugs mafia many neighbourhoods in Antwerp, Amsterdam and Rotterdam are every bit as unsafe as Paris.

    Again: he can dance whenever he wants, he won. I don't understand the hate Lyles get. Even weirder is people getting upset over 100m sprinters dancing and shouting. Those guys have been doing that ever since the event was first conceived. To criticise Lyles for stuff he did to get in the zone...

    Well, he won. That helps in feeling like a winner. 1722840286 There was very little reporting on, but as soon as I read that they were giving "prize money" to the Italian fighter she lost all credibility. Let's be honest here: she threw away the fight and it looks like she got paid to do so...

    'Murica!

    If you're voting on substance and policy, you can't vote for Trump either. Trump has almost never given a straight answer. He just babbles. The last time he actually did answer a question was about Covid and he suggest people inject bleach. He's a moron and on top of that he's held on a leash...

    I don't believe he will. But I do think he will run under 19.30 and that in itself is amazing.
