If men are the "stronger" sex shouldn't they reveal it in a tantalizing manner since their bodies are more obviously affected by muscle growth since it's easier for them, therefore their gains would be more impressive and "worthy" of showing off?
The fact men don't care about looking sexy at all and are content with their fugly thick joggers or whatever they have is worthy of their suicide and "lonliness" rates increasing tenfold.

Emura vs Balzer was so cool. It's apparently not the first time they cross and it makes me mad that I didn't get into fencing earlier. It might sound superficial but I love that the two most elegant and badass looking girls (imo) fought the final duel, it was a fanart worthy moment for sure.
France TV is really annoying though. And the presenters are fucking retarded sometimes, I tried to watch BMX the other day and when it was the women's turn the guy would not shut up about Sakakibara. He could just say once "she is Mahieu's gf" (or nothing, because it's none of our business) but no he had to go on with his fanfic of them having passionate sex on the gold coast, sir I do not care about her private life just say her achievements and move on. He had no problem saying her name 10 times in a row like a tongue twister but messed up the japanese contestant's name somehow. And he gave maybe one quarter of a fuck about the actual french contestant. Also, I don't remember what sport it was but someone said Shrek instead of Czech and he tried to fix his mistake by saying something like "oh, he is really the Shrek of this discipline though" I was rolling on the floor. Ozaki from Japan's fencing team got called Osaka 3 times in a row no correction while her name was written right there. Sorry if I sound like a turboweeb but some athletes had wayyyy longer more complex names and didn't get butchered…
>>2120552Kek accurate. But the French team was really really lucky (to a suspicious degree) that Teddy o'clock rang twice because I don't think anyone else could have taken a second fight. I'm not a judofag so maybe I'm wrong but they all looked super exhausted. Gaba vs Abe was crazy though.

they're now saying she has to forfeit the medal which is the first time in olympic history that an athlete has had to return a medal due to a scoring error.

>>2131480I'm following this in gymnastics circles and the level of fucked-up this is … is unbelievable. I can't believe this is being done. They should have just given out two more bronzes and been done with it.
If I were Jordan, I would not relinquish the medal. It was given to her. She did not cheat. It is hers. Let the judges and the organizations fight it out. Sorry they all suck at their jobs so badly and the IOC can't fucking cough up two extra medals so that this is settled with dignity. There is no reason to punish and treat athletes like this for scoring or administrative errors.
There was no standard clock footage or proof of Jordan's coach's 'late' appeal, so who the fuck even knows if it was even 'late.' The last gymnast to perform also gets a much shorter time to appeal (others have at least 1.5-2m because it's according to beginning of the next routine).

I can't be the only one who thinks that the closing ceremony was lacking. I liked the performances don't get me wrong but they were suited for ordinary concerts. There was barely an essence of Olympic Closing Ceremony flare (except for the opening and the ring performance). I was really expecting something grand and was left disappointed.
Then half of the ceremony became the America show. I'm watching the NBC replay so maybe other broadcasts showed different.

the gymnastics medal situation was confusing to me but this cleared it up pretty well i think. it really bothers me that people online (and jordans sister) are trying to turn it into a race thing. jordans sister also made a comment about jordans medal being stripped "not because her foot stepped out of bounds" which kind of seems like a dig at sabrina…
No. 2133439
>>2132850Everyone's acting like Jordan is the biggest
victim here, but I feel worse for Ana and Sabrina. People need to understand that, even though Jordan is marginalized as a black woman in the US, in the context of gymnastics she has a big advantage over the Romanians. There is a political side to athletics, especially pertaining to sports like gymnastics and figure skating that are somewhat subjective. Also, Jordan has a bunch of fans online defending her and attacking the Romanians; she has over 1.4 million IG followers versus Ana and Sabrina having less thank 50k each. Finally, she already has another gold medal anyways, whereas the other two girls have nothing. I could ramble more about this, but I won't lol. I'm just annoyed with Americans having main-character-syndrome over this whole issue.
No. 2133485
>>2133439you're right.
plus people rightfully point out how it made her feel but conveniently forget the same bait and switch happened to Ana bc of the american coach filing that last minute appeal. she was already celebrating and she had to hand over the medal live on camera.
>main-character-syndrome over this whole issue.yup. medals getting revised or taken away happens regularly, you just hear about it now bc it's a famous US gymnast with a million fans and not, say, some poor mongolian weightlifter.

It came out a few hours ago that Jordan's coach actually submitted the inquiry on time.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2024/08/11/jordan-chiles-bronze-medal-video/74761100007/>The governing body said in a statement that it has submitted the video, as well as a formal letter, to the Court of Arbitration for Sport as part of a request to reinstate Chiles' score of 13.766 and allow her to keep her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
>"The time-stamped, video evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics Sunday evening shows Landi first stated her request to file an inquiry at the inquiry table 47 seconds after the score is posted, followed by a second statement 55 seconds after the score was originally posted," USA Gymnastics said in its statement.

Scuze daca sunt prima persoana care iti zice asta>>2133439It does feel like greed on Jordan/her team's side when she's "taking a mental health break" over having her questionably obtained bronze taken away from her while she already has a gold. It's also retarded on the gymnastics community to demonise Nadia Comaneci who sided with the two Romanian athletes. Any post mentioning Ana, Sabrina and Nadia are deleted on the gymnastics subreddit and the user who posts them gets banned.

>>2135423>Any post mentioning Ana, Sabrina and Nadia are deleted on the gymnastics subreddit and the user who posts them gets banned.That's not true at all. A lot of the users there agree that if there had been no judging or administrative problems, Jordan would not have gotten the bronze. Sabrina is the one they think should be 3rd.
I just find your statement here so disingenuous since I think everyone on that subreddit is appalled and hates what the gymnasts are going through. There has been a ton of extra traffic and insulting posts there because of the situation and afaik the mods are working overtime to corral all of this and delete hate directed against anyone. They didn't want 50 new posts every day about the medal situation so have funnelled them into megathreads.
There's been a ton of racist hatred against both Romanians (calling them gypsies) and Jordan. It's pretty sad. No one should blame the gymnasts, but this process is so fucked beyond belief. It's unheard of for administrative/judging errors to be handled like this. Let me remind you that no one has apologized for the administrative problems at all. That's reprehensible.

>>2137212I've seen plenty of inoffensive posts made right when they did a recount of the points that got banned for no other reason than mentioning the three. I see that is no longer the case, apologies about that, but it was a real issue in the first few days following the scandal. I'm not really sure where you got that there's megathreads on this (couldn't find any myself) or that people think Sabrina should've been third, more often than not posts mentioning that she deserved the bronze get downvoted (picrel is one of many I could find). This all is trivial stuff anyway, I agree with you that all three gymnasts (Jordan, Ana and Sabrina) were done dirty by the judges.
>Let me remind you that no one has apologized for the administrative problems at all. That's reprehensible.I agree, I've acknowledged this since my first post. There's no argument to be had about this.
