Holy ****, 45.94 Karsten Warholm! WTF?! Superman!
On some fake news media they're already talking about his shoesI don't think our media will downplay it
MM I agree it is “funny” how they (m/f)are dominating in the sprints and hurdles, never seem to be tired after a race. On a bright note I was happy to see the lovely Lukenkemper in the 4x100m relay. She looked good. The polish gals sure missed Swoboda out there on anchor. Schippers muffed receiving the handoff from Visser as she left too early and had to slow right down..not a good sign.
Two of their runners (Kerley and Baker) qualified for the men's 100m finals, and another (Bromell) was a millisecond away from doing so as well. The problem, unsurprisingly, is poor communication skills. That's why most other team events have a much more white-friendly racial composition. The "crabs-in-a-bucket" mentality that's been cultivated in urban neighborhoods disincentivizes so many black athletes from playing selflessly and working for the sake of the team rather than for one's own stats. Our men's basketball team is the exception that proves the rule - just watch their comically bad performance against France, going for 3-pointer after 3-pointer while down by 2 near the end of the game. And yes, it's an all-star squad that doesn't normally play with each other during the regular season, but given that the same athletes are chosen over and over to represent us in international competition, you'd think they'd have developed some semblance of teamwork by now.The USA didn't qualify for the finals in the 4x100m.
It's laughable. Every Olympics, every championships, they screw up the relay because they can't pass the baton efficiently.
Most of the time they drop it, or pass outside the zone. This time, they had legal, but lousy passes and came in 6th in their heat.
You'd think they would learn, but they never do. They're an embarrassment.
