You don't even know her name so I'm assuming you nothing about her other than she has 2 tone hair and likes to celebrate getting an Olympic medal by dancing with an American flag draped around her shoulders.
Of course I don’t know her name, she’s a shot put thrower...

Correct. AND you don't know what she's been through in life. Are another racist on this site?

It's easy to comment about someone when you don't know their journey. Saunders has gone through bouts of depression and feelings of suicide. If being flamboyant is what helps her that's fine. Winning silver is a nice accomplishment. Congrats, Raven.
Saunders Silver that is awesome!!!
Was pulling for Saunders but Gong was something.
I thought the Joker mask and hair was pretty cool.

Liberal spotted....
Absolutely painful to listen to Carter announce these events.
Be honest, I clicked on the winners profile on the OG site and, um, you know I don't want to be that guy..but..

Agree idk why you guys are watching the one with our homer announcers instead of the NBC sports stream (available on all smart TVs). Unbiased and informed announcing, limited commercials and enthusiasm for all the athletes.
The probably middle-aged British guy covering field events was loving the Saunders celebration btw.
You don’t see nothing wrong with a grown woman representing here country at a profession event twerking on live TV?
Amazing how Euro women suddenly have disappeared in women shot put.Off the sauce ?

This sentence was painful to read.
She could barely offer any insight in discus, hammer let alone her own event shot put. She struggled to string together much other than a number of generic statements. In discus it was twice “…. (maybe Mattis?) has really been working on his technique” but nothing more. Just about zero contribution to the commentary. I imagine javelin will be more of the same as well as men’s shot, women’s hammer final and all of men’s hammer.
I'm an old white dude and I thought that was freaking awesome
Been a huge fan of Raven since she emerged her senior year of HS in the Charleston area of S.C. in '14, after learning the spin. She went on to set the HSRs both indoors and outdoors, then winning World Jr silver in Eugene. Was thrilled for her back in '16 when she got 6th in Rio and so proud that she's made it through ups and downs the past five years to get where she is now.
the metric trolls are back! wrote:
You're watching US television. Metric means nothing to 99% of viewers. A high jump of 1.98m is completely meaningless to viewers here; if they say 6'6" everyone knows exactly how high that is.
By the way, it is 91 degrees in Tokyo right now, not 33.
This...300 million Americans want the actual distance in understandable terms.
