Yes, best tour de france rider.  I don't know shit about riding, so that's all I know about him.  Maybe in the world of cycling he wasn't that great - only in that race.

Even in that race, he was "GOAT" on the basis of 7 straight being a record, but Eddie Merckx (inarguably the GOAT in cycling, and in the conversation for GOAT of GOATs) won all the jerseys in the TdF at least once, to go with his 5 yellow.

Fair enough.  But he was pretty good those 7 years.  My point is that he was he best juiced guy racing against other juiced guys.

Mijain Lopez……good lord that’s a big man.

4 Olympic Golds (wrestling)….won easily and then picked up a 260 lb man that was one of his coaches and with one arm carried him while jogging around the ring. Lol

Somewhere between the strength of a black bear and a grizzly bear

He is a monster.  He would have been a pro bowl DE if he grew up in the US.

Exactly what I was thinking after seeing and watching him

Didn't know that Pro Boxers competed in the Olympics.

Gabby takes bronze but is gold in all of our eyes.

So I'm in the minority here that thinks Sydney McLaughlin is hotter than Gabby?

Personal preference….one more fit but sheer beauty has to go to Gabby.

McLaughlin and Muhammad was a great race for both 👏👏👏

All 3 of them are attractive. 

I would take Mclaughin  by a smidge. gabby has a Lisa turtle look to her

Speaking of good genetics....Karch Kiraly is fucking 60

Felix to the finals of the 400….medaling might be out of reach but you never know. I’ll guess 49.76 and 5th place 

Go fucking go Clayton Murphy! He has family near my school.

Murphy got clipped, pushed and trapped and never had a chance.

And the USA Men's 4×100 relay finishes 6th in its heat race.

Men’s 4x1 doesn’t advance to finals

What a fucking choke again. Ronnie Baker took off a bit late and only a .18 difference from 1st to 6th

How about spending some more damn time on this event. Haven’t won since 2000

And Brommell a sore loser

Damnit Holloway couldn’t finish…was worried about him after watching Jamaican in semis….he got him and Holloway a photo finish for 2nd.

Good for him for being a great sport about it.

Just said the Kovacks dude can bench almost 800 lbs? 

We’re going 1-2 in the shot put

Yeah, I gotta weigh 300+ and bench over 700 to medal in shotput?  GFY
