Anybody been able to find a replay of the event? I pay for peacock premium and have a cable subscription, but there doesn’t seem to be anything uploaded. Was planning to get caught up before men’s day 2 tonight.
Heath Thorpe was posting yesterday asking why Jake was in the official training hall and the village, because he had seen him in pics/vids. So, at least jake seems to have been, and Twitter says GMF was also tagged in village pics. Monumentally stupid if true.
Exactly! It’s one thing to think you are low risk and not worry day to day, but even if you’re fully asymptomatic you would be out of competition! I just don’t understand.
And while I agree most of the scorn is due to the governing bodies, I am seriously shocked that Simone or Suni or MyKayla...
The pics of them training today are all fully unmasked, MyKayla and Jordan smooching, everybody close together. I just don’t understand. I still worry about catching it and I’m not risking my Olympic dream. I would be in a full panic if one of my teammates had just tested positive. I genuinely...

If I was a vaccinated athlete I would have pitched a fit if I was forced to train with an unvaccinated athlete. Can you imagine if Simone were to get asymptomatic covid from an unvaccinated team mate and be out of the olympics? It is wild to me that they didn’t require everybody to be...
This is fair enough, but her parents still rubbed me the wrong way. It was the way they dismissed the past experiences as girls just not being tough enough. If they had said “Look, we know there were gymnasts who had bad experiences, but we think his style has changed and Our child has had...
Agreed. It did seem she was having those issues even when she wasn’t in competition, though, so the fact that’s improved is a good sign. As I said, though, the only thing I care about is that she winds up in a healthy situation.
Konnor’s situation was so CLEARLY unhealthy from the documentary. If you have an athlete who vomits so regularly you carry bags in your pocket for her to puke into, she either has a serious physical condition that needs to be addressed or a serious mental health situation (anxiety or something...
