Not saying she's lousy but based on what i saw the bronze medalist indonesian is better than her. Just that the INA met ahn earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she's been super dominant whole year round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Triathlon refused to comment on media reports but confirmed that Sutton was in Paris as an accredited coach for the Chinese Olympic Committee. He has also attended the Games in Tokyo in 2020, Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and London in 2012 as an accredited member of the Swiss team, the paper reported. -------------------------------- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-13708259/Convicted-child-rapist-Steven-van-Velde-Olympics.html Convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde CRASHES OUT of Olympics in last-16 stage as the Dutch beach volleyball player is again loudly booed by fans - but his partner insists they will continue to play together in the future ‐‐-‐-----‐------------------------- https://www.asiaone.com/world/paris-olympics-ioc-saddened-aggression-against-boxers-over-gender-row PARIS - The International Olympic Committee on Thursday (Aug 1) defended its decision to allow two female boxers to compete at the Paris Olympics despite a gender row, saying the pair were facing "aggression" because of an arbitrary decision. ------------------------------ https://www.npr.org/2024/07/28/nx-s1-5054000/chinese-swimmers-paris-olympics-doping While Chinese athletes face intense scrutiny, the U.S. finds itself facing growing diplomatic pushback from international sports officials - and from official Chinese media. At issue are American probes into WADA's handling of the case. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach speaks during the 142nd session of the IOC in Paris on Wednesday, ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Olympic officials try to crush U.S. probes of China doping, threaten Salt Lake Games Last week, the International Olympic Committee threatened to revoke Salt Lake City's 2034 Winter Games unless the U.S. backs off investigations by the U.S. Congress and the Justice Department. Ingmar De Vos, an IOC committee member from Belgium said the criminal probe launched by the U.S. Department of Justice is "extremely worrying and basically, for us, unacceptable." In a press conference in Paris, the head of WADA, Witold Banka, blasted the U.S. and suggested that American athletes are the ones who should be drug-tested more aggressively. --------------------- back to enjoy the game. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably didn't play enough international competitions to clock points and ranking leading up to the games. Seeding is base on world ranking, and ranking is dependent on competition scores. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
