From what I’ve been told about the sport, it’s fair game. Whatever happens underwater didn’t happen.I've never seen water polo before - it's just a big fight in a swimming pool. Australia deserved to get beated by Japan purely for this moment:
I couldn't deal with this.
I'd be a bitter depressed raging alcoholic for the rest of my life
Yeah, incredibly exciting game.
He goes to lsu.
Pole vault allows athletes to do that in a way no other event except high jump does. Sergey Bubka used to do the same thing - he set the outdoor world record in 1984 and broke it a further 16 times over the next 10 years.Duplantis seriously needs to be handed a broom stick to jump with cause holy shit this guy is just not human.
8 of the previous WR also belong to him
The guy grabbed the bar on his first attempt causing it to fall, now makes me think it was deliberate to milk the moment.
It's kind of a shame, because maybe this could have been the one day in his entire career that Duplantis could have cleared 6.50 or something ridiculous. Bubka might even have jumped higher than Duplantis if he'd really gone for it in his prime. We'll never know.
This is almost a children's sport - China has an 11-year-old in there, and the BBC commentator described one of the competitors as the 'grand dame of skateboarding' (she's 23).
You peak at like 14 now in skateboarding.
I'd be terrified of letting my daughter do that. Sky Brown is the only one the British media are interested in, and at the age of 15/16 she has an impressive list of serious injuries - fractured skull, knee surgery, currently skating with a brace on the shoulder she dislocated last week.
No, it's purely for money. Break the record by the smallest possible margin, then go home rather than raise the bar even further. If he carried on and raised it by 20 cm in a single event, that's 20 potential bonuses he'd never get.
