Big comments from the American who came second in the 200m backstroke about the race not being clean!

Sore losers are often from certain parts of the world i have found

No golden slam for Djokovic, just got thumped by Zverev.

Woman losing in quarter finals of football

They was 2:! with like 10mins to go and aus drew to make it 2:2

Then now in extra time, GB had a pen and fluffed it and then minutes later, Aus scored to make it 3:2....

1ts half of extra time almost over

4-2 now. All Australia have done is launch crosses into the box our defenders don't even bother jumping.

Shocking really.

Besides Lewis Hamilton, British athletes are all pretty much useless no hopers.

As a nation we should be doing way better than we do in the last 30 years.

One of the dumbest comments I've ever read on here.

Hasn’t anyone told him that this is our best ever start to olympics in terms of medals?

Just watching the 4x400 mixed race and it looked like the USA runner on the second leg was stood just before the changeover line and received it well after :confused:

SoliD · 30 Jul 2021 at 13:32

Mixed relay is great if they mix it up! USA got DQ for what you said above Pigeon!

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jul 2021 at 13:34

Ah, watching it on iPlayer so a bit behind, they've just confirmed it.

I have no idea how you could a) stand so far ahead of your rivals and not realise and b) stand just before the changeover line and not realise. That's unforgiveable for any relay athlete to do, regardless of the level.

SoliD · 30 Jul 2021 at 13:38

I missed it, so will have to rewind to spot it, but as you say usually it's fairly obvious, although the italians and brazillians only just got back into position for their changeovers.

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jul 2021 at 13:43

There's fairly obvious and there's this

Hotwired · 30 Jul 2021 at 13:55

Makes it looks like a comically bad attempt to get more distance with the male runner

Don't feed the troll, people.

Just watching the replay of the women's 100m heats and the track looks ridiculously quick for the shorter events. I thought DAS might have a chance of a medal but Elaine-Thompson, Fraser-Pryce and Ta Lou all jogged to times around 10.8.

SoliD · 30 Jul 2021 at 14:14

Those heats were absolutely rapid, was like Bolt at his pomp in heats jogging for 50m of it for the top runners!
