Garrett was a student at Princeton, where he was captain of the track and field team. It is often reported that Garrett’s achievement was all the more remarkable because he had no previous experience of the discus, and his decision to enter was a last-minute whim, but this is not quite the case.
Please remember that no country "wins" the Olympics: it is the athletes who win.There will be a stickied thread where those of you who simply can't take it may vent freely.The IOC and the Associated Press take no position on the difference. It has been this way for quite some time. Sports journalists In most countries sort the medal table by total golds, but the practise in the United States is to sort by total medals.No Posts about how the Medal Tally is Sorted.Please remember that the athletes had nothing to do with this.We recognise that many of you are troubled by the People's Republic of China hosting these games.No Posts about Beijing as the Host City.There will be a stickied post in which you can complain about your broadcaster and tell everyone how much better somebody else's is, but unless Savannah Guthrie narrates the Parade of Nations after asking Mike Tirico on-air how many quaaludes constitute an overdose, no individual posts complaining about your television network are otherwise allowed.If you promote an illegal streaming service or a VPN, you will be perma-banned.We will get rid of them as soon as we see them. We simply cannot and will not allow this to happen again. There will be no warnings and we will have a very short trigger. Anyone found engaging this behaviour will be banned until Paris.We were overwhelmed by such subjects during Tokyo at the expense of people who wanted to talk about the games.This includes discussion about geopolitics, international relations, and past civil wars.Wardrobe malfunctions are specifically excepted.For submissions specifically about the attractiveness of individual athletes, please visit our friends at /r/Ohlympics.
Ask yourself this if you are about to make a possible duplicate post: "Do I have something new to say or show, or do I just want the sweet, sweet karma?".Alternate views of an important moment, for example, are very welcome. A "related" post is different from a "duplicate" post. We do not want to discourage you from making a related post if your submission has a fresh take or a contrarian message.It's fine if you want to start the discussion of the event, but once a conversation has been established and is gaining traction, please understand that there is limited room on the front page and avoid posting any superfluous or duplicate submissions, which will be removed anyway. When a prominent athlete does something memorable, there seems to be a rush of users gunning for a karma grab.If you post a standalone picture of an Olympian without any context or story, you have just submitted a low-effort post.gif posts of video taken directly from Olympic events will be allowed on a case by case basis. We expect you to embrace that, the Olympic spirit. Baron de Coubertin founded the Olympic movement in an effort to foster goodwill between nations. No bashing athletes or teams on the basis of national origin or identity, but criticizing any countries or their National Organizing Committees accused of perfidy is fair game.No racist, sexist, or homophobic slurs.No threats, personal invective, or personal insults.We do not care about how tenuous the connection is other than the below.
