TimHauck 1,795 Posted July 31, 2021 Katie Ledecky is pretty good at swimming though. Picks up her second gold and fourth medal of this Olympics, 7th gold in her career. Also doesn't seem to have an issue putting a mask on shortly after her race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this swimmer was black, I guaranfuckingtee he would be a hero. liberals are bad for this country. TOKYO — When athletes become Olympians, their lives and responsibilities change, whether they like it or not. Their singular focus broadens. More is expected of them. They become representatives of one nation and guests of another. Michael Andrew, the unvaccinated, 22-year-old American swimmer who refused to wear a mask while talking to journalists in the mixed zone Friday morning at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, is a first-time Olympian who by now should have figured out that things are different in Tokyo than they were for him back home. Instead, somewhere on his journey from self-centered athlete to Michael America, Andrew lost his way. When he showed up to speak to reporters at a locked-down Olympics in the middle of a pandemic state of emergency, he was asked by USA TODAY Sports why he was not wearing a mask like all of his U.S. teammates. One might have thought he would have realized his mistake, reached for his mask and put it on right then, out of courtesy, if nothing else. No way. Not this guy. This is what he said: “For me, it’s pretty hard to breathe in after kind of sacrificing my body in the water, so I feel like my health is a little more tied to being able to breathe than protecting what’s coming out of my mouth.” Translation: I couldn’t care less about you, or the pandemic, or the fact I’m not vaccinated. This is all about me. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has an ugly American in its midst. JFC...is this some National Enquirer bullsh!t? What a fukin brave "journalist". I wonder if they asked any un vaxxed black athletes why they haven't gotten the jab? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She had a twisted ankle like every basketball player in the world has had and gotten up walked on it for a few minutes, tied the shoe tighter and kept playing. She didn't have a broken ankle.

I live in southern California and play a ton of beach volleyball. I even married a former semi-professional beach volleyball player. These chicks are some of the most self-absorbed biatches you'll ever meet. You should see how they treat each other. There are exceptions, of course. Some of the ones that are really good know they need to be nice to earn fans. My wife is always like, "she's a bìtch. She's alright. Oh yeah, everyone hates her..." I see them at tournaments and they're all catty as fūck. Then there's the rich dudes that live on the strand in Manhattan beach that are basically groupies. They chase them around trying to throw money at them, so it makes them pretty stuck up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do we need to know you're the fastest swimmer at 5 different race lengths and 4 different strokes. I don't even get the whole different swim strokes thing... The goal is to swim the fastest.

If your country never wins gold in anything, that might change the equation. I can't imagine any scenario where a professional golfer would rather win a Gold Medal over a major. Gold Medals are great, uplifting and cool... But majors are life changing, way more so than an Olympic medal..... Lifetime exemptions to the Masters, PGA Championship and/or British Open, 5-year exemption to the US Open, 5-year exemption to the PGA Tour, huge FedEx points, and on and on.

bostonlager 2,457 Posted August 1, 2021 I didn’t even think about exempt status that comes with winning. Throw in the fact that you get no money for winning a gold medal, I’d rather win the John Deere Classic than a gold medal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyKayla Skinner, the oldest gymnast on the United States' women's team, had a long road to the Tokyo Olympics. It's a journey that took nearly a decade. Skinner wasn't selected to compete in the 2012 Olympic Trials and then came a step closer in 2016, being chosen as an alternate for the Rio Games, but not an official spot on the team. Now, she has an Olympic silver medal. When she had a chance to qualify for Tokyo this year, she placed fifth in the all-around and was named as the plus-one specialist. While she didn't participate in the team competition, she traveled with the U.S. to Tokyo as an individual competitor. She replaced Simone Biles in the vault final and won silver.
