Hubbard fails to complete a single lift in the snatch.
Huh? I just watched her lift 125? Wasn't that the snatch?
Edit- Did it not count, I see she's not on the leaderboard
Yeah too much arm wobble. Should have challenged it.
Bloody hell. What a lot of angst for nothing in the end, you have to laugh 😂
The issue is Hubbard took a female's position at the games.
Ironically the biological male is probably the most female looking of the lot.
Great Silver for Emily Campbell GB
Tremendous Olympic Record for Li Wen Wen of China
That’s a whole lot of women.
Either that or something manufactured in a lab somewhere. Christ on a bike she certainly ain’t no beach volley baller that’s for sure.
Being in Japan you’d think they’d be catching the attention of the Sumo wrestling community. Massive potential there!
I’m not sure what all the fuss was about…. Laurel had no chance.
What is her nickname? The angry panda?

this sport C2 1000 looks harder than rowing. Way more awkward, and good lord just sustained suffering
The best sort of sport.

yeah. It's awkward though, off centre paddling, no leg drive to speak of, just pure muscular pain that grinds. Awesome to watch, but damn, it's a sport for masochists

Watching the men's canoe sprints.
The Kiwi commentator obviously doesn't know that STP stands for Sao Tome and Principe. Looooong pause before just referring to them as STP again
They've dusted the cobwebs off John McBeth. The expert commentator is Ben Fouhy.

Really nice bloke, had a beer with him at a function many, many years ago. He must be over 100 years old by now though.

I'm watching a BBC broadcast I think. It's a pom and a kiwi.

The Ruskie was awkward to fight and hadn't been beaten in 4 years. No disgrace with a bronze medal.
He was also the vastly better boxer. Nyika looked like he cement shoes in comparison and couldn't throw a straight right.
