I understand your disappointment, still a Silver medal is not that bad

I am happy for Donna only,she worked hard to be in this position.This is redemption after what she has been through ,being exposed and humiliated by Krygios ,forgetting about her career and being Wawrinkas gf ,injuries and injecting her face with fillers.This medal is a reminder that it's never too late to believe again.

Agree Tossip, happy for Donna she has worked hard, after her knee surgery she was thinking of quitting this year, also Pam being in her corner convinced her to not give up and we saw how well she played at Wimbledon and now at the Olympics

BTW did anyone catch the track and field Mixed 4 X 100 relay.. wow what a dream event for the men and women. I didn't see it at the Tokyo games I only seen it happen maybe when I was a kid on the track relay teams practicing with the girls. My Lord it was some girls just as fast as us boys which wasn't easy to accept.. jajajaja

I didn't see it. What's up with mixing men and women, I think it was in wrestling too, men against women, seriously?

I watched 10km mens final yesterday. Incredible race it was. Those guys are really something, they are so light it looks like they barely touch the floor. I always admired those long distance runners, the ease with which they run. Art.

I love athletics and enjoy most of the disciplines, except maybe high jump or triple jump. We call athletics queen of the sports.

@don_fabio Its really is interesting . the men run the first and third leg of the relay and the ladies 2nd and fourth. Having the ladies make up the final leg makes it so exciting because some of these ladies has a tremendous ability to close out a race from behind.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I would like to make on point regarding playing at the Olympics and on the tour, it is like chalk and cheese, as I dont take winning a Gold Medal as highly as winning a GS title or a WTA1000 title or ATPMasters title, nice to have on your resume, but at the end of the day, people take more notice of GS and tour titles.

Sounds fun. Yeah, in relays they tend to put fastest runners last and some are visibly much faster than the others, even though they all sprint like crazy.
