    Impressive field team we have now. 4 shot putters, 2 hammer throwers. Nice to have depth

    Waiting to start when they pan the camera across all the starters. He raises his left arm straight towards the centre of the track field, looks down his arm, then using the baton "pulls" the "bow string" and fires.

    Momentarily thought I was watching Eastbound and Down.

    I love watching people who run twice the distance as me in the same amount of time.

    Ugandan at the front s setting too quick a pace. No one's going with him. He should dial it back a smidge.

    Best result of the night, Alexander Zverev comes from a set down to beat Novak Djokovic.

    How does this work "The top-ranked Serb lost to Alexander Zverev of Germany 1-6 3-6 6-1 in the semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics tennis tournament"
    It was said up thread that Olympics are best of three, only grand slams are 5, so 1-6, 3-6 is game over, why the other 1-6? Confused? Or is Olympic gold a slam? Even if it is that's 2 losses and then a win, did they play the last set for fun?
