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.

Men's 10,000. No heats, straight to a final.
I love watching people who run twice the distance as me in the same amount of time.

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? -

Not many would have seen this coming after Novak Djokovic won the first set 6-1, but Alexander Zverev turned the match on its head to win 1-6, 6-3, 6-1! As Djokovic heads off court, Zverev takes it all in, practically alone in the arena."
Fucking stuff
