Jippunese petite climber...just one more move to get full points in leap...slipped on it but still leading in women boulder/leap race...just a few more climbers to go...can still clinch the gold IF americano scores below 60...😁

Habis...americano scored more than 60 in leap...now down to the wire on the last Austrian climber...the colour of medals to the americano and jippunese depends on her liao...😅

I thought it was Ethiopia that blocked hassan from going pass her.

The Ethiopian team lodged a protest to have Hassan disqualified for obstruction, but it was rejected by the Jury of Appeal. It looked as if Assefa was blocking Hassan before they traded elbows.

Hassan did not attend the post-race news conference, where Assefa said she would have won if Hassan hadn’t impeded her.

“I didn’t expect at that moment it would happen. Maybe at that moment, if she didn’t push me I would have the gold,” Assefa said through a translator. “But anyway, I’m so happy for her that she gets the gold medal.”

Assefa declined to specify if she asked for the protest or if it was the Ethiopian team on its own.

“I can’t say anything, but she is a good athlete,” Assefa replied.

 

 

the video online so far only show hassan clashing before overtaking, so can't really see any deliberate block.

Surely a legitimate manoeuvre...both were gunning for the win at the final stretch...Hassan saw the racing line with the gap between her competitor and the side...took it to undertake...only their hands touched each other...no attempt to push or knock...

This is how a legend retires from Olympic. Respect. Wonder who are the lucky fans who got his shoes, shirt and bib number. Hope don't see anyone selling on Carousell.

Hope to see him racing major marathons as a veteran.

Kipchoge's greatness: He stops at km 31, waits for the last runner... and retires

.......

"I stopped at km 30 and walked a couple of kilometers surrounded by people, gave them the running shoes, the bib, the T-shirt.... Everything but this (he was referring to the pants) because I couldn't," he said.

Did watch the volleyball. Italy blockers were superb. Those blockers won them the goal. Also Italy scored a few aces in serve.

3 seconds playtimes remain to get 3 points. I thought France last throw was a 3 printers. She stepped on the line.

2 points only.  😅😅
