Someone need to hand out the towels and keep the water bottles filled with Gatorade™.



I note how those with no ability to cogent discussion merely snipe.


I had heard about his servicing the mens greco roman squad…. But luk says he was “on” an Olympic Team, not they they were on him, so it’s unclear.

I started a thread so he can share.
 
International level?
Getting knocked out in a bar fight in Tijuana does not make you an international level athlete. It just makes you the same pathetic schlub you have always been, AJ.
 
I've already posted about going to Giants Live last weekend.
Mark Felix was there. A man who is still qualifying for World's Strongest Man and setting new world records, even in his mid 50s.
He quit less than a second into the first event, underperformed in his next event, and dropped out of the competition. You could see in the pre-contest, behind the scenes footage that his head seemed to be elsewhere.
Every interview I've seen since the event, the other strongmen have just shrugged and said that everyone has bad days. Nobody thought he should have pushed himself harder and risked injury.
Knowing when to step back is probably part of the reason why he's still able to compete with men half his age. In a dangerous sport, he hasn't permanently fucked himself up.
 
When posters like luk, adrina, adre and now SpaceKowboi begin to post,
all attempt at discussion comes to a screeching halt because the only
thing ever on their mind is not the topic, but their political enemies.

It's really sad, but this is the type of thinking that dominates
in Progressive so-called, "thinking."

I addressed the topic and they addressed me.

:shrug:

They've even stopped employing the "She could have broken her neck" argument.
It is so easily put to rest.

But, he did, as you point out, take a second try...

You can get seriously hurt in that sport, but he had his pride and no-quit attitude.

As I pointed out, I experienced many setbacks, but my pride (and work ethic) propelled me.

Your lack of self awareness and hypocrisy is a fucking marvel to watch.

Your setbacks from 50 years ago mean fuck all, dipshit. You've never competed on a level near what she has.
 
Nothing political about it, sport. I was just reacting to your audacious attempt to explain the mindset and motives of someone who is the greatest to ever compete in her sport. Plain and simple.

Notaj should know that only blurt bitches are allowed the ability to explain and judge others, amiright?

Fixed for you.

Get off your cross you martyr. I didn't say jack about politics - but you sure have. Repeatedly.

You just couldn't resist trying to make yourself feel like you're above Simone Biles. Now you want to have a pity party when it's obvious that you're the only person that believes your nonsense. Simple as.

The good thing is that you are in the minority. By a handy margin.

Even ltr is above simone biles.

Jus sayin.

It's absurd comments like ^^^ that people quit talking to you and let you spout. An example of a gymnast breaking her neck because she was pushed to compete when she shouldn't have is posted in this very thread.

Biles didn't get where she is by being a quitter so it's ridiculous to think she'd just up and withdraw without an overwhelming reason for doing so.
