the GB lady shooter was robbed of a Gold, she clearly hit the 2 targets in the shoot off but they rely on humans, seems strange, they used to have a VAR equivalent...

if China cheated, they would've won more gold medals in the swimming, instead of solely doing well in the heats and semi's and then ultimately flopping in the finals


as for Korea, idk if they cheat, they just seem very hard working, very strict in their training routines

Amazing for the Swedish pole vaulter guy !!

He had the gold medal already won but raised the bar and made another jump to beat the Olympic record .. incredible .

Olympic gold AND an Olympic record!!

But THEN he decides to take another jump , raised the bar past the world record and went clean over comfortably !!


What a guy , what an evening , what a lucky audience !!

thankfully Sifan Hassan only a bronze


the fake dutch finished the kenyan duo, was put into silver position however one of the kenyans successfully appealed against her dq, the ethiopian tsegay was dq'd instead after looking back on the footage where tsegay was the one pushing not the kenyan
