In reply to Curtis
that was jaw dropping
Do you watch anything besides track and field?
There are number of disciplines in the Olympics that are more technical, skillful and dangerous than track events that have seen some incredible feats accomplished.
Have always been a huge fan. What n athlete!!!
Hassan is the real deal!!

Bmx freestyle. Gold medal round. Brit rider falls attempting a complicated flip....stays on the ground a second and gets back on.
Scores in the 20's or 30's I think.
Meanwhile the American competitor puts on a clinic on her first run and scores a blistering 96.4 or so.
On second and final round.....first ever such event in Olympics....after falling and scoring next to nothing and facing such a high mark to reach.....she does the routine again, knocking down trick after trick.....many of which her opponents did not dare attempt.
She scores a 97.5
Her opponent then has a chance to score higher on second run....foot slips of pedal on a landing, making it impossible to make that high score......
Gold.
BMX
lol
Can't wait until they include egg and spoon race that we used to do as kids.
Add 10000 m to her gold count. Class.

did like the little bumping she did with the young Ethiopian gal who led most of the race..she clipped her heals a couple of times but other than that she is really one to admire in these games..
