cecile landi saying “we weren’t told anything about the code of points or whatever” remains the funniest thing to come out of tokyo 202one

Just to let you all know that the Olympics Mexican Delegation uniform was made by more than 200 artisans mostly indigenous ones from Oaxaca and not a single one is the same because of the different embroidery designs in the lapels of the suits

Is it Tonga time, I think its Tonga time.

First two Italian medals at the OG!

okay but can you imagine the absolute clusterfuck if the us team gets exposed to COVID in tokyo because of tom’s idiotic decision to house and train the main team & alternates together and won’t ask athletes to be vaccinated? i highly doubt sk*nner is vaccinated just based on her husband’s #plandemic bullshit (even though he got covid last year) and leanne isn’t either. to boot, the delta variant is starting to make up the majority of cases and is 100% more contagious than the original variant. worst case scenario, everyone has to quarantine since all ten of them are in the same bubble, and then no one can compete for the us at all. how insane would that be, if russia and china were competing for a team gold, simone loses the opportunity to dominate her second olympics, suni’s dad doesn’t get to watch his daughter be the first hmong american to represent the US, etc., etc. all because tom forster has no backbone and lost all of his brain cells?? if i were on the main team, but ESPECIALLY if i were Simone, I would be having quite a few words with Tom right now because his actions and dumbassery are putting not only the US team’s performance potential at risk but also their long-term health.

here’s a poem i wrote today in light of how to olympic women’s gymnastics team final turned out. it’s about simone biles and how she was treated after withdrawing, but to be honest it could be about any high-achieving female athlete.
