Remarkable to have won a medal in that condition.

[Skywise]

They let him race… in public… with a positive Covid test?!

[cpdiii]

I must admire him but he put himself in danger. However, he trained for this for years. I understand why he ran.

[pgyanke]

They shut down the world… except for “important” people.

[TXBlair]

He was so cocky regarding the 100m. I figured he was just floating an excuse for why he hadn’t won the 200. Still not convinced, to be honest. I did not enjoy watching him, particularly, but I thoroughly enjoyed the other track and field athletes, both mens and womens!

[FoxInSocks]

I considered that too. But he had actually quarantined himself a day or two before the 200.

[TXBlair]

And, seriously, why was Lyles breathing in the faces of the medical staff after his race KNOWING he had tested positive? I understand why he wasn’t wearing a mask, since he had just run, but he owed it to them to tell them to put on masks. I was excited to see Kenny Bednarek take the silver!

[TXBlair]

True. I did see the footage of him masked up in the day or two before the 200m. Well, anyway, I wasn’t broken up over his loss, lol.

Like Michael Jordan’s food poisoning game.

[waredbird]

I’m old enough to remember when Michael Jordan played in the NBA finals with a temperature hot enough to boil water and nobody was even the slightest bit critical.

[Gene Eric]

>> 102 degrees Fahrenheit

for a minute there, I thought he was boiling

[lonestar67]

He was the fastest man in the world… with COVID.

Don't worry, I'm sure those medics were all vaxxed to the hilt! And we all know how effective those masks are! < /sarc >

The best part of the fake Olympics is now - the closing ceremony

[dfwgator]

Used to never miss the Olympics. Didn’t watch a single minute of this one.

[NWFree]

I cheated again and watched a few rounds of beach volleyball. Not sure what the score was

[x]

1) Who he?

2) Who cares?

[MinorityRepublican]

They let him race… in public… with a positive Covid test?!

Why not? This is not 2020.

[cnsmom]

I guessing he was vaccinated so no problem right?
