Sam Kendricks still bitter about Tokyo

Kind of sad

Sounds like half the members on this board. I wonder how many burners he has here.

this is idiotic to blame team USA. He’s an anti vax religious nut from Mississippi who was forced to quarantine by the Japanese government after testing positive. Has nothing to do with the Olympics or team USA.
He’s bitter and he will be even more bitter when he doesn’t make the team anyway, he’s currently in 6th

You say that like it's a bad thing. BASED

He's not currently in 6th. The placings in the qualifying round don't matter as long as you make the cut, he wisely chose not to jump at an unnecessary bar, that's why he was "only" 6th.

Nothing is guaranteed, but Sam is jumping well this year and he looked great in the qualifying round. He was always a favorite to make the team, with Lightfoot out of the competition he is even moreso.

We'll see what happens tomorrow, but it will be pretty surprising if he doesn't place top 3.

I don't get what he's upset about.

Japan the country wasn't going to let anyone in with Covid. So he tested positive and didn't get to compete. Who is he mad at?

He is an Olympic level athlete who doesn’t want 9 shots of mRNA goo in 6 month old toddlers. But to you that’s “anti vax religious nut” you do know you can make an mRNA vaccine for any protein right?

my new favorite athlete

Thanks for sharing. Now I know who NOT to root for in the pole vault. He sounds like a jerk.

He hates the Olympics because he missed the last Olympics due to a positive Covid-19 test and doesn’t want to represent the USA at the Olympics. that’s his right. personally I think that decision should is foolish, but that is his right.

He sounds like he's making an excuse so if he doesn't make the team, he can huff around and pout that "I didn't want to go anyway...waaaaaaaahhhhhh"

If he qualifies, he'll definitely go, otherwise he'd have to turn down that Nike $$$. That's who his allegiance is really to.

Honestly he just sounds like a loser. Either win or go home. Don’t even talk if you are a loser

Everyone's avoiding the real question...why would a grown man get that haircut?

Wow, he sure showed the world by not wearing a mask and getting vaccinated.

Would rather not participate in the olympics than strap an n95 on, smart.

You win, Sam. You just earned 5 new fans on this website.

I would be too

He's too patriotic and humble and gracious.

He creeps me out.

If he's still crawing in his crawdad about being wrong 3 years ago too bad.

Stay home I'm sure the 4th place finisher won't mind.

Maybe he's just too scared of Mondo.

Is he really patriotic if he chooses not to represent his country at the Olympics? That sounds like the opposite of patriotic to me.

No idea who this guy is. Seems like kind of a hardo. Nobody will miss him if he doesn’t go

I know, right? Can you imagine someone not wanting to inject an experimental pharmaceutical product into their body? What a tool!
