I know gymnasts are short, but that seems pretty extreme

i watched 10 minutes of the table tennis, it was interesting how they play. So much about deception on where you're going with the ball. Serves were funny to watch with them trying to hide the ball as much as possible

China talking hella s**t about Australia
"An op-ed in China's Global Times tabloid, which is closely linked with the Communist Party, said: "We think Australia should feel embarrassed with Horton's remarks. … We don't know if it is Horton who is silly or it's the Australian media that is evil, or perhaps Australia just has a different moral standard. The message sent is abnormal and aberrant."
"It's not a big deal to us. In many serious essays written by Westerners, Australia is mentioned as a country at the fringes of civilization," the op-ed continued. "In some cases, they refer to the country's early history as Britain's offshore prison. This suggests that no one should be surprised at uncivilized acts emanating from the country."

You can tell she was giving it all she had though too. Not big on cycling but apparently her specialty was hill climbing but didn't have great top speed. But when it's 3 v 1 with the three alternating leaders, it's unfair.

A Chinese political mouthpiece questioning the morals and civility of others? Now that is funny.

The Dutch woman is not alright. She has a fractured spine and multiple concussions. That might have been the worst single-rider crash I've seen in a long time.
