    The feud with MyKayla Skinner she chose to make public. The reaction towards the crowd, she blamed for shushing. She's picking fights for no reason whatsoever.

    I have to say, for someone as small as she is is, Simone Biles sure has a lot of bile inside. She's competing with women, who aren't even earning enough money to live on. Nina Derwael (Belgian gold medal winner in 2021 on the uneven bars) has hardly made a killing. She can just about cover her...

    I do not and I have three reasons for that: - Bolt dominated Olympic and World Championships from 2008 until 2016. That is a very long timeframe in which he had to have been among the most tested athletes in the world. - His career was gradual. He was winning international youth championships...

    I don't think everyone is juicing, but a lot definitely are. Someone like Femke Bol is weird. If you look at the results, she almost has to be on something. She's obliterating everyone else and does so race after race in event after event. But then you look at the way she runs and her composure...

    I will admit I think about it less and less these days. I have my doubts about Jakob Ingebrigtsen. It's difficult to say why, I just don't trust him and his results at all. But I don't want to be thinking about that during his races, that takes all the fun out of it.

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    You don't seem to understand. Lyles won.

    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...

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

    Lyles is the 100m Olympic champion. That's top dog. Motherfucker can dance all he wants. Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met Tapatalk

    I don't think Lyles has the body frame to pack on more muscle than he has. And if he did, I believe it might hamper him from 60 meters onwards. If you look at the last 40, Lyles is much more relaxed than the others and that's what gets him the gold. As for guys with sloppy running styles at...

    It was statutory rape. She 'consented', but, at least in the UK and the Netherlands, the idea is that a 12 year old can't really consent. What makes his case worse for me is that he travelled to the UK to have sex knowing her age. It wasn't impulsive. Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met...

    That would be a possibility. There are lots of jobs that have a clean criminal record as a prerequisite or, when it comes to professions such as doctors or lawyers, you can be prevented from taking up that profession if you commit certain crimes. The IOC could do the same thing. But they...

    It really depends on the judgment in question and what is possible according to UK law. In several European countries this could be part of the sentencing, but it would usually be limited in time. Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met Tapatalk
