2000: Marion Jones, USA
Every couple of Olympics, a track and field athlete completely dominates the rest of the field. That was American Marion Jones in 2000 as she laid waste to the world’s best athletes. She was the toast of the games and later played professional basketball.
In 2005 and 2006, though, the sprinter became caught up in the BALCO steroid scandal. In 2007, she admitted that she had been using steroids during the games and was stripped of her multiple 2000 games medals.
no it doesn't, it leave huge infrastructures behind with not enough money for maintenance or events to make use of it.
Not really.
The 1984 Olympics was the last to turn a profit.
Mmm.. I can smell your privilege from here.
actually a small amount of alcohol will help in shooting sports by relaxing you and steadying your aim.
Ali: *does the same thing 22 years later but gives it kitschy name "rope-a-dope," becomes a legend
Not a xenophobe or anything like it. Frankly I find this ironic considering.....
Also,
Im sorry Japan.. these idiots and their stupid covid games have had a negative impact on you hosting the games... i am sure if everything was normal and these idiots wouldnt be such liars and bad influences - you would make every other country that hosted the olympics look like children playing in a sandbox in comparison. (Regarding ceremony and whatever) - you guys are awesome:)
Also- the guy who had thc in his system - lol - he should have gotten a head start
