For the first time in my life I’m hoping the US Olympic teams get wiped out.

She must be hurt. I hope she is okay. She has abstained from wokeness to the best of my knowledge.

- Commercialism sucks.
-Sobering reality of pandemic needs to be acknowledged and mentally dealt with. (Aka: no audience or crowds.)
- Re: team sports especially. Woke narratives don’t give you victorious fuel or greater purpose and mission. Team USA basketball fell.

Also social media and being too caught up in hype is WAY toxic.

is she really woke?? I’ve not seen or read as much.

The US swimmers were terrible for the most part yesterday except for a teenager from Alaska who stole the show

NBC aired a brief segment on Biles where she seemed a bit overwhelmed, and said it was difficult to continue to do the extensive training needed every day, she always had some nagging injury, and at 24 years old, she didn’t have the same energy she had at 19.

I found it surprisingly negative for a media puff piece on a favored Olympic athlete - but now it seems to have a basis in reality.

Isn’t she getting a little old for this sport? When I do hear anything about this sport, the girl is usually 15-18. It’s not she is a flight attendant and needs to work forever past her prime.

Tough loss. She is mentally not ready for these games. For some reason. For two pasts Olympics, she was a pillar of mental strength in the same vein as Phelps and other all time greats.

Like the veteran swimmers, this extra year of waiting and training seems to have gotten in their heads. The young rookies are taking over this games for the the Americans.

I was very happy to see that Naomi Osaka lost her tennis match.

Who cares? Let the ungrateful US team come in last. Of course there are some good kids on the team but their silence speaks volumes in not calling out the anti American commies.

I gave up on the Olympics when they started allowing professional athletes to compete.

It's unclear if the gymnast, widely considered the greatest of all time,

Joke?
Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union has won a massive NINE GOLDS at the Olympics in gymnastics, plus 9 other medals making 18 Olympic medals. Before Phelps, she was consideredthe greatest Olympian of all time.
Biles has only won 4 golds and one bronze. It's not even close.

Maybe they have been programmed to lose. After all, a horrible place like the US shouldn’t win all the time.

I put nothing past our satanic government anymore.

Simone Biles is a Christian and a patriot. I’ve never heard her say anything bad about America. She’s proud of her country and the opportunities it has afforded her.
