Even though I'm not invested in the Olympics in the slightest (both trannies won gold in their boxing weight classes, by the way), I didn't need more embarrassment heaped on my country, so I'm just glad this creature wasn't American. Because you know that's something we could have fielded, in this, the Current Year.
I haven't been following, did the Americans do anything super embarrassing? I heard about that retard Raven Saunders, but don't know about anything beyond that. Again, haven't watched it though. I assume there were plenty of other terrible moments from the good ol' US.
On your latter question, I would say Noah Lyles running the 200 with Covid after jumping around like crazy before the start, underperforming, hugging his fellow competitors, and then collapsing and being wheeled away and taken to hospital would be up there. As would the mens’ relay team completely fucking up the baton handover and over-running the change like a bunch of schoolkids…
But both of those incidents could be put down to sheer arrogance, more than anything else…
The high jumper refusing to share gold (with the New Zealander) and then being totally annihilated in the resulting “jump off” was similarly arrogant, but more funny and farcical than anything, tbh…
*relieved sigh*

C'mon, Lyles got the 200m Bronze medal at the Olympics! That's a phenomenal effort. Almost like Michael Jordan's famous 'flu game'.
