For sure. What an unreal race. He's so smooth compared to the other guys too. They look like they're labouring and he's kind of floating. Almost like watching a great skater in the NHL.

Maroney sat on her ass on the 2nd vault, but her average (she nailed the first one) is still good enough to put her in 1st with one vaulter remaining.

LOL. This sounds made up. PLEASE let this story be true!!

Maroney finishes with a shocking silver. Hot Romanian chick gets the gold. Good for her.

here's the bottle incident:

Een dronken gast voor mij gooit een flesje op de baan!! IK HEB HEM GESLAGEN.... Ongelofelijk!! #boos #respectloos
GVD... Heb ik ook de 100 m gemist!!! Wat een PIEP!! #grrrrrrr

I know GVD would be short for "got ver domme" = "god damnmit"


google translate tells me the rest is:
A drunken guest throws a bottle on the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM .... Unbelievable! # # mad disrespectful
I also missed the 100 m! What a BEEP!
