Biggest disappointment for you in the games?

I dont get disappointed at what other people do when they strive for excellence. I'm always happy for them.

OK once I did when Evan Jager hit the deck with a sub 8 in the bag. ugh!

Kerr getting locked out of the room at 4AM after going for a kebab 🍢. Anyone getting locked out of places like SAFP did.

Well, obvious doping by Africans aside… Kerr managing a silver. Would have been great if his motormouth had been shut out of the medals. Hocker’s victory over the arrogant Scot was a highlight.

Shacarri not winning.

Biggest disappointment was the women's 1500m. I thought we might sneak in with a podium finish or at least make it a lean at the line situation.

But given how great the US distance runners did perform it is ridiculous to even talk about disappointments.

Biggest disappointment?

Alton Towers, it's rubbish... Next

Redeemed herself somewhat in the relay though

They never miss an opportunity—

—to miss an opportunity.

The Australian men, non stop talk about the depth and how hard it is to pick the 1500m cause the talent is insane etc etc- and then they don’t even make finals. Stewy making the 5k was a farce, he was no where near placing before the fall, to get in just to line up without the ability to be there felt stupid, not surprising he finished near last.
Sinead starting the marathon was also a disgrace.

Serbia blowing a 15 point lead in the last quarter in the semifinals vs the US. Not hating on the US but would have been the greatest upset of the games had it happened.

Track wise it was Kenenisa and Eliud being a complete non factor in the marathon, and Femke not giving SML a run for her money.

I really hoped the US men's volleyball team would get gold. These guys played together a long time and they are world class players and this was it for a lot of them. They had the talent. I don't see the US men's team being competitive after a number of these guys retire.

Noah Lyles getting covid. That was a bummer.

4 x 100 - that was related to Lyles. Should have kept the same lineup and used a different anchor. Coaches suck at the relays.

Hoppel not getting a medal after running an American Record and one of the fastest times of all time.

Sha'carri Richardson not winning gold and not running a sub 10.7 time.

Breaking ??????? give me a break...no pun intended. Maybe the LA games can have a hot dog eating contest..

I don't mind break dancing being in the Olympics. Those guys are pretty amazing and there are a lot of breakers from all around the world who take it seriously.

It won't be in the Olympics in 2028. But they are adding flag football?

That seems pretty silly to add. How many of the best football players play flag football? How many nations have serious flag football players?

I’m disappointed Hoppel didn’t medal. But he ran an American record and competed for the W. He didn’t poop anything and should hold his head high.

I was mostly sad that the Jamaican big three sprint women weren't competing. I thought that it'd be Sha'Carri/Gabi/Julien Alfred's meet anyway, but I wanted to see what they could do. I fully expected Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce to bring home a medal.

Nia Akins missing the 800 final.
Hoppell being out kicked.
High jump - jump off.
Women’s 100m final.

Basically, the events that Americans bombed late.

If Tokyo Olympics had been held as originally scheduled, Jemma Reekie would have won a medal there. (Mu and Hodgkinson were not ready yet.) Instead, she had to wait for a year because of Covid, and got passed by Rogers in the last 10m for the bronze.

This year was supposed to be her redemption, and she ran a big PB in London DL just a few weeks earlier. But she didn't even make the final. At age 26, she may not have another chance in 2028.

Many world records ion swimming? There were only four of them, and two of them were in relays. Track & Field also had two individual world records (Mondo and SML).

Actually, one of my disappointments outside of T&F was that Marchand did not break any WR. He already holds the WR in 400IM, but I really wanted him to break Lochte's WR in 200IM.
