Bolt🇯🇲 dropping his arms and running across the finish line basically sideways to set a WR in the men’s 100m final at the 2008 Beijing Olympics is still to this day one of the more remarkable feats in Olympic history.
The 🌎 best shot put thrower coaches the 🌎 best discus thrower. Let’s put all the talk about athletes from different countries “telling secrets” to rest.
After winning the men’s 100m gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympics ESPN, a sports network that does NO coverage of global track & field, paid homage to Bolt’s new world record in one of their legendary This Is SportsCenter commercials.

For years it's been complaints of her being too stiff, buttoned up, and dishonest. Now they're complaining that she's being open and honest
Imagine not realizing that sports is simply entertainment and participants and even fans have real life friendships with people who they may compete or cheer against. A great reminder is the story of the relationship between Justin Gatlin🇺🇸and Novlene Williams-Mills🇯🇲
@VanLathan
NO 🏈 is the basically the only sport where you actually have two distinct and separate teams on each team. The outcome of the game isn’t a function of a single player. A QB is the most important player on that team but their impact is relatively low compared to other sports.
@itskerrii
It’s been the top trending story in 🇺🇸 on this platform since yesterday and it’s all over the national news. It’s not accurate to say “…y’all not talking about this”

There has never been Olympic triple jump gold medalist from the same country in the same year since the women’s event was introduced in 1996 at the Atlanta games. This 🇯🇲 duo aims to change that this summer in Paris🇫🇷

How has he put himself first over the team. What he did was the most peaceful and benign protest possible. He did this for weeks unnoticed
@anitajasmine_
Bounty Killer is probably the first and best example but folks forget how big an international success he was. Sean Paul falls into that category except he gets flack from a segment of dancehall fans because his roots is upper middle class.
@TomBrady
@mortreport
Can you also put in a word for Zach Thomas. You would have played against him and know that it’s a travesty that he hasn’t been selected as yet.

I encourage 4 people to play Monopoly and instead of everyone starting with the standard $200, start each player with the following:
PLAYER A: $500
PLAYER B: $200
PLAYER C: $50
PLAYER D: $10

She clearly has no clue of how prayers work. James 2: 17/18. So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

In Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants the plaintiff was awarded $640k in compensatory and punitive damages. This was the case of the lady who spilled her coffee. She originally wanted to settle for $20k in damages but McDonald’s refused and took it trial.

I'll apply the what if test. What If a 3 year boy who thinks he's a girl comes over to play with my 3 year old son or daughter, I have no problem. What If a 32 year old man comes to pick up my 14 year daughter, we have a BIG PROBLEM
@Genevieve_Maine
The weird thing about the misinformation that is put out is the people who it’s directed at actually know the truth. And for those who want to know if it’s true or not the data is readily available

An air fryer is simply a small convection oven. If it’s real cooking in the larger oven that comes with the range then it’s real when you do it in the smaller oven
I’m going out on a limb to say that we will see 2004 VCB level tears of joy from Julien Alfred, the fastest woman in the world, when the 🇱🇨 flag goes up and their anthem is played.

Being in 185-220 mph winds on an isolated Cay is terrifying no matter what type of structure they’re in. Storm surge might be the biggest challenge since there isn’t any high ground there.
The response to his gold medal was downright disrespectful. The tweet from the account of the prominent brand and the public endorsement of it was nasty. Ratings and respect to all Manchester High School athletes. Sic Luceat Lux!
“My country never made me feel like winning a Gold medal at the Rio Olympics was a big deal 💔”
Omar McLeod 🇯🇲 has had to work through a whole lot & I can only commend him for his openness about that. Please watch the full 6 minute interview 😔:
@ashleykaycromer
@lostfilesjp
He said later he was uncomfortable because some of the persons who he ripped were people he was cool with and 1 or 2 he considered friends.

@chrislhayes
The former NY Governor’s handling of the pandemic is a direct result of the way news and information is presented to the 🇺🇸 public. It’s all about the horse race, style over substance. How he appeared to handle the crisis was more important than the details of handling the crisis
The entire JAAA executive board should announce their resignation or at least that they don’t intend to seek reelection later this year. What has transpired is inexcusable. This athlete is a a national record holder who competed at the World Championships less than a year ago.

Imagine being a “major” sports outlet and not knowing there are 2 women alive faster and two who’ve running faster or equally as fast with allowable wind reading.

You can become an 🇺🇸 citizen by other ways but in the case of the Knavs their route was chain migration which their son-in-law has repeatedly said he wants to put an end to👇🏾

Biggest beneficiary is 🇨🇦. Similar economy, better social services, slightly higher taxes but that's a good trade off. I know this first hand because we chose to send that baby in my arms there instead and now she's two semesters from her degree

If you didn't have the facts you'd believe that 2017 created more jobs than 2016. "Employment growth has averaged 174,000 per month thus far this year, compared with an average monthly gain of 187,000 in 2016" Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner William J. Wiatrowski
@trackspice
How is “suspicious” being defined here?
Why is Christian Taylor featured in this video when he’s not even the WR holder? (18.29m Jonathan Edwards🇬🇧)

The main flaw in Will’s argument is that he seems to think that everything we know present and historically is based on prejudice (individuals) and not racism (systemic)

If I was to take a guess this is only possible because of low demand for hotel rooms due to COVID. The City then goes to the hotel negotiates a low rate for the rooms. Not possible under normal circumstances when travel is up and occupancy rates are high.
@JordizzleJ
Lots of athletes have been participating under the same circumstances. News outlets from different countries have been reporting on their athletes testing positive and still competing and some even winning medals
@Track_Gazette
The 400mH is more rhythmic and what athletes like McLaughlin-Levrone and Warholm have been able to do is perfect the rhythm of the race. The 400m is the ultimate test of speed endurance which forces the athlete to push their bodies.
@TheKitchenista
My neighbor gave me some bananas from the trees that we share (they're in his yard but hang over into mine) but I forgot them and they got over ripe so I made a double chocolate banana bread

Totally disagree. Each athlete does what’s in their best interest and I don’t think it’s fair for fans to encourage them to risk detrimental long term effects just for our entertainment.
