Sorta how I felt. I get the top guys often do a bunch of tries before a make (or sometimes do link a bunch of gnarly stuff) but you can watch way more impressive skating uploaded daily on YT, IG etc.

Jacobs won the 100m in a slow 9.80 seconds, which is 0.22 seconds slower than Bolt's WR 9.58.
In the high jump, Barshim, Tamberi, and Nedasekau all cleared 2.37m (7' 9.3") which is 3 inches short of the world record of 2.45m (8' 0.46") set by Sotomayor in 1993.
Tomorrow, Aug 3rd, is pole vault. Duplantis is the only vaulter that has cleared 20 feet this season. Can he improve on his WR of 6.18m (20' 3.3") ? That is a tall order. Only 2 other people ever vaulted higher than 20 feet, Bubka and LaVillenie.

lord me and the gf got into it over that sh!t with this olympics.
hell...i still can't figure out why people cheers in sports when someone gets carried off the field/court? i applaud when you stay in the game.
I was on a flight once (late 80's, early 90's) and these two guys were sitting next to me. They were Russian (Eastern European). A a certain point there was an exchange with the stewardess and they kept referring to one of the guys as "she/her." I was a bit puzzled and then noticed the tiny boobs. She was basically a guy with a teenagers boobs on her chest. WTF?
But she turned that frown upside down!!
So, yeah, same as it ever was...
Duplantis still dominates pole vault and takes the gold medal with a vault of 6.02m (19' 9") which he cleared by about a foot. He is the only vaulter to clear 20 feet earlier this year. It looked like he could have cleared 20' 6" easily. When he tried to improve his WR to 6.19m (20' 3.7") he came very close. It looks like he either brushed the bar with an arm or chest, on the way down. After he landed on the cushion, then the cross bar had vibrated off the standards, and fell behind him. He will probably improve his world record, sooner or later.
Anyone know of a Youtube of the entire pole vault competition, or about the last hour or 2 of it ?

I prioritized mental health and won 3 gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics between 2am and 6am while sleeping.
Most disapointing? Womyn's skateboaring.
Sure, they're way better than I. But still, a footplant is a move? Tony Hawk 1981 would've blown them out. The Japanese ladies at least had good style.

IDK, Fauci was pretty good.
The Skateboard Park competition was fun to watch.
The Skateboard Street not so interesting.

i think the scale just doesnt come across on TV, and the runs were super repetitive compared to like a street league comp or something. peeps were playing it to safe.
