[Nicky91]

she was on the podium and the American was marked less by the judges

[Nicky91]

well i was discussing something what happened yesterday not many days ago


i also don't follow gymnastics that much




Femke Bol imploded last night, McLaughlin's new world record was really wow, even Cockrell ran past Bol, and Bol narrowly won the bronze ahead of another american to prevent a american 1-2-3

could've been more of an epic fight than what we saw, idk what happened

What on earth happened to Femke Bol !!!?

She looked unbeatable the other evening in the 4 x 400 relay but last night just mediocre

Maybe she has Covid

If I have another fake news bbc presenter talk up this **** show of an Olympic Games I am going to lose my mind

I’m still surprised this guy won the Triathlon Gold medal .. isn’t it a similar thing to Ironman events

You’d expect someone with an incredible physique ??!?
