The Brazilian team's reaction to winning the first men's surfing gold medal is just fantastic!
I got asshole vibes from him during the fluff piece, and his over the top reaction solidified my impression. Titmus seems like a lovely young lady. Her coach, on the other hand, seems like an alpha male ME ME ME attention whore. Really reminded me of Steve Nunno and Bela Karolyi.I didn't see this fluff piece. What I saw yesterday was a coach getting passionately excited about his athlete's success. Winning Olympic gold isn't a small feat.
I also saw comments calling him an asshole only being made after the race, Titmus' win and the coach's celebration, not before, when I assume the fluff piece aired.
Excellent day at the Olympics for the 49th and 50th states! First Lydia Jacoby and now Carissa Moore wins the first women's surfing gold!
They follow their sutfers around the world. Right country won, wrong surfer.The Brazilian team's reaction to winning the first men's surfing gold medal is just fantastic!
What I saw was someone dry humping plexiglass and that's never a good sign of character.What I saw yesterday was a coach getting passionately excited about his athlete's success.
It was oddly soothing to watch the Spanish rider's horse dance across the arena to RadioGaGa. Some of these riders have hard hands and the horse is fighting the bit.The Matildas hold the US to a draw in the women's soccer!
A lot of nervy rides in the dressage so far.
Does this mean the US is out?The Matildas hold the US to a draw in the women's soccer!

Just as you didn’t see the fluff piece, I haven’t read anything about Lilly King other than the comments here, which is why I asked. Sometimes a question is just a question.So Lily King isn't a brat, but Titmus' coach is a total asshole.
Mmmmm.
The Spanish rider was one of my favourites so far. The Portuguese horse seemed to want to canter all the time. Apparently the horses are unsettled by the lack of crowd - they expect to be able to show off to people.It was oddly soothing to watch the Spanish rider's horse dance across the arena to RadioGaGa.

No, it means both the US and Australia advance.Does this mean the US is out?
And Colombia FORTHMaude Charron of Canada won the Women's 64 kg weightlifting Gold, with Italy second and TPE third!
Is this necessary? Her team said she pulled out due for mental reasons. I believe them. She has been under a incredible amount of pressure. I’m not surprised she cracked. I just hope she'll be ok.Or if she was just embarrassed because they are not winning.
Not helped by the fact that US Gymnastics was rather openly just assuming she'd carry the team to victory no matter who else they picked.She has been under a incredible amount of pressure. I’m not surprised she cracked. I just hope she'll be ok.
I wonder if the pressure just got to her. Or if she was just embarrassed because they are not winning. That reminds me. When did GOAT get to be Greatest of All Time? Every time I hear "goat" I think of - are you the hero or the goat (meaning the bad one).
Yes. Nice gentle pretty horse dancing.Horses dancing is just what I need after that team final.
You know how we were talking about some horses liking to show off? I get that feeling from this horse. This horse is amazing and he KNOWS it!I don't know much about this event but this horse looks very fluid and I give it my Rukia's Best Horsie award, which I reserve to give to every horse if I choose.
