ScubaCinci Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 All I keep hearing about the Olympics is Zika and the poor conditions there in between the ongoing saga of Trumpillary. I'll watch some if I have time but I have no compelling reason to tune in for anything specific although I know there are several athletes from the local area that are competing in swimming/diving. I guess that would be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran track. 400m, 200m, 100m. All the relays. Long jumped and triple jumped (in Texas, pansy Ohio high schools didnt do the triple). My dad still holds the 400m high hurdle record at Kent state. Actually he is now tied for the record: http://kentstatesports.com/news/2014/5/13/MTrack_0513142734.aspx "Dunlap, a two time recipient of the MAC Track Athlete of the Week honor this season, took home first in the 400-meter hurdles Sat., May 10 at the Akron Campbell-Wright Open clocking in at 51.11. He tied the Kent State school record, which was set by Bill Dobbertin in 1980. His time of 51.11 ranks him first in the MAC, 10th in the NCAA East Region and 24th nationally. " I mean I think its crazy awesome that some of these sprinters could get a speeding ticket in a school zone just by running LOL.

ScubaCinci Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 An interesting visual & article about the Olympic history and the medal winners per country. Probably best viewed on a non-mobile platform. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/08/sports/olympics/history-olympic-dominance-charts.html?_r=0 Anyone know when the chick above is running...I'd tune in for that.

Agree and there's some genetics going on there but really did she actually train a lot? If so, I find her physique fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
