Ukrainian high jumper is sooo much better than anyone else. Cruising to gold.
Yaroslava Mahuchikh won the Gold.
93 people in her home town of Dnipro have been killed in Russian missile attacks since February 2022.

Was watching badminton semis last night with a Spanish woman cruising into the final. Left the room for a few minutes and when came back in the she was lying on the floor screaming and crying. Injured. She was doing it for a few minutes. Could really feel that "it's just not fair" pain.

Looks like China and USA will battle it out to be top of the medal table.
Then France, the UK and Australia will battle it out for 3rd, 4th and 5th. Japan will probably be 6th.
Australia punching way above its population and GDP.

100 m seems sooo slow without bolt. Like treading water. Athlete of the century.

Simbane ran 9.82, but didn't win a medal. A ridiculously fast race. Noah Lyles had to run a PB to win it.
Fastest 100m of all time (combined times)

It really is bloody amazing how well Aussie do in the Olympics. Blows my mind every time.
Just seem to be in competitive across the board
It did not go unnoticed to me that they are one of the countries that are near the top of the actual medal table and the per capita table as well

Seven runners under 9.90 and one other at 9.91.
A really great standard, although still behind what Usain Bolt achieved.
