My goodness did you see that video of the athlete that snapped his leg in two on the vault. Almost got me sick to my stomach

I quit watching the Olympics after I saw the graft, greed and politicking with the 1996 Atlanta Games here. Juan Carlos Crook or whoever he was, Atlanta’s mayor making big bucks and ruling like a slave master, thieves, schemers and plotters everywhere.

It isn’t an athletic competition; it is a competition to see who can graft the most.

I honestly don’t care what happens in the Olympics after that.

I did not see any vault injury: did I miss it? I did see the German guy twist his knee viciously on the floor exercise, is that what you mean? His very gifted team members were bereft. They needed his score on pommel. Pommel requires not bending the knee, both otherwise the knee is not affected until you stick your landing. So the injured guy limped up and performed an excellent vault for his team. Very heroic.
