I know, that seemed a little excessive! Instead of talking about how Bryce is putting it all on the line for his country and giving it his all! She just cried and complained about it

That American high jumper choosing to not share the gold very likely ends up making a difference vs China overall

Ego beyond the moon got him and his country a silver rather than a gold. What a Mississippi move.

No she didn't she literally said he knows what he's doing he's run 4, 400m so he is trusting his training and it's paying off…

Do we know if it was the American who decided on the jump off instead of sharing? What if it was the NZ?

She said this could be a monumental mistake and that there was no need for that move so early

It was the American. You could see it after both missed all three at 2.36.

I mean wouldn't they both have had to agree to a jump off? If the American says "no I'm not jumping" then that's the end and they share, right? Doubt the NZ could have forced him into a jump off?

From my view, it McEwen approached and Kerr say no and jump-off. McEwen just tried to amp himself and the crowd. I want to hear it from them. I believe McEwen wanted to share.

Both would have to agree in order to share it

Kerr quote post event:

"I have so much respect for what they did in Tokyo. But I always thought that to add to the story and to be able to be given the chance to actually do the jump-off would be so amazing, I knew straight away that we were going to make history and we did that."

Whoever wrote that article is a moron. Lyles was never running anything but anchor. The curve is the weakest part of his 200.

Really happy for Shamier. So many close calls in making the Olympic team, then the close call in the mixed when she just missed a gold, pretty cool to get her gold medal in maybe her last Olympic race. One of those story book finishes.

Was that a maroon and white dye job that Shamier had on her hair today? She looked fabulous.

Last night Trico stated it was the most medals for the US in track and field since 84 in LA. Great job. Makes sense with Jamaica not being as strong as in the past in sprints and our long distance runners doing well.

34 total. Kenya was next with 11.

At what? Men's 4x100? Yes.

However, some of the golds and medals were completely unexpected. Even with some of the higher profile failures (women's shot put isn't getting enough criticism) I'd say we almost over performed.
