The Polish side looked comfortable with room for quicker. Defo, they won it be a few metres. 2 minutes ago, Seymour M Hersh said: Fit then? Exceptionally.

Spellczech Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Whilst I know it is now incredibly wrong, probably "misogynistic", "sexist", "demeaning", "predatory", and part of male rape culture - I have to say the bottoms of these 400-1500m runners and the legs of the artistic swimmers are quite mesmerising...

I've got the women's pole vault on and, when the Russian lass bugged out, I heard the commentator saying, "Oh, the first crack has appeared!" I rewound and paused but can only conclude that the TV commentators must have additional camera angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just saw the clip of the Kata Karate on the BBC highlights show and now the earlier comments in the thread make sense.
