OT: Tokyo Olympics thread

Congrats to Simone Biles on winning bronze on the balance beam. Of course, she knocked Ellie Black of Canada off the podium who finished 4th (she did compete with a sprained ankle in true Canadian fashion )

And now for a commercial break... You see a lot of the same commercials during the Olympics, and there are some really good ones this Olympics. I don't know what the fuck the Facebook ones are. But there are two that are fantastic that I love.

Chevy Silverado "Cat" cracks me up to no end. The line at the end is just so damn well delivered. I laugh for minutes at a time.


And the Toyota Jessica Long commercial is a tear jerker shot with the artistic eloquence of a big budget movie. One of the best commercials of all time.

Andre needed to be 3/100ths of a second faster, than Bob Costas would have said that de Grasse is the world's fastest man

It doesn't have the same ring as chanting "1940" did.

Canada sits 1st and 3rd after five events of the decathlon.
