@ChrisChavez @kimbia Fiona is a kind, thoughtful, professional, and wicked sharp person. Wishing her health - she has a brilliant future in distance running.

🇺🇸 An update from Fiona O'Keeffe on her injury that forced her to drop out of the Olympic Marathon. The following Q&A was provided by her agency @kimbia to share further details on her decision to race... How did the lead-in to Paris go for you? O'KEEFE: The last five weeks or so leading into it, we got in a really solid training block up at Mammoth Lakes. I was logging good marathon mileage, getting in good long runs, getting ready for the hills. I was feeling good about the training and where I was at. Things weren’t perfect, but they never are and it was a good body of work that I was happy with. When did the issue arise? O'KEEFE: I did my last real track workout on Friday (August 2) and that was a good workout. I felt strong, no issues, and then on Saturday on my run I started having a little bit of tightness in the left hip. I didn’t think too much of it, but then the next day, Sunday, it was worse during the run. I was supposed to run 90 minutes, I ended up running 80, but I thought: OK, we’re just being smart. But then walking around the rest of the day didn’t feel very good so that’s when it started. We decided to come back to Paris. We were up in Strasbourg. We came back to see the doctors and physio and try to get ready for the race. What did they tell you? O'KEEFE: That’s the thing that’s a little confusing. It feels like nobody’s been able to pinpoint it so far. I’ve seen several different people and the Physios seem to mainly think it was an issue of how my hips were aligned and I had an ongoing tight calf so it was possibly compensation because it was on the opposite side. That’s the best explanation I’ve been able to get. Later in the week, I did end up seeing the USATF doctor and getting an MRI done and their read on the MRI was it was clear there was no evidence of muscular damage or anything in the bone. So going off that information, it was like: OK, based on the information we have, there’s not going to be further damage from running on it so we may as well try and see what’s possible. On those final days, were you able to run? O'KEEFE: Yeah, I was able to run some. It was definitely not pain-free, but I got a couple more treatments. The last one was Friday morning and I felt quite a bit better walking out of that office so we were thinking: OK, we’ll take the rest of Friday off, see how that treatment settles, hopefully it sets in overnight. Then the next day we’ll run and hopefully we’re good to go. So I did run Saturday morning, just a couple of miles and it wasn’t very good, honestly. But the deadline to declare or not for the race was Friday evening. The deadline had passed and it would have been too late to sub in an alternate at that stage and I was like: OK, if this is a nerve or something, maybe it’ll respond and I’ll wake up on race morning and it’ll settle down a little way into the race or maybe I’ll wake up and it’ll feel different. I didn’t want to have that regret of not having tried and not having given myself a chance. The morning of the race and in the race itself, what were you feeling? O'KEEFE: It was really painful. It felt like my body wouldn’t let me run the way I needed to from the get-go. I did a short warm-up and I didn’t feel like there was much point in continuing on if I wasn’t able to compete effectively. I think I made it about a mile into the race and we knew it was definitely possible I would drop out, I thought I’d do it a little later on if so, but it was trying to make a smart call for the day and for the upcoming months. What’s your next step from here? O'KEEFE: I need to figure out what exactly is going on with my body because I feel like I don’t have the answers. I need to know what the best treatment approach is. I was going to take time off now anyway with it being after a marathon, so it’s a good time to reset and start assessing how I can train better in the future so I can get to the start line fully healthy and ready to go.

What sports do y’all think they should add to the Summer Olympics? Mine is Jiu-Jitsu. Sport is growing like crazy and very Global.

@jdgauchat @DonBradshawNTV @TheLaurenChen @alysha_newman94 How do you know what content she shares? 🤔

@DonBradshawNTV @TheLaurenChen @alysha_newman94 She's an online hoe. Her medal is worthless. Awful example and you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting such a degrading practice that is destroying young girls reputation and value.

Absolutely wonderful that Canada has a literal world-class athlete representing us at the Olympics. There, @TheLaurenChen. I fixed it for you. @alysha_newman94 has made Canadians from coast to coast to coast proud. You should try to do the same, sometime.

@jonathanpesso @_OwenM_ There are other ways to look at it, for sure. The US had a great meet because the nation produces phenomenal athletes, but it is somewhat ignorant not to take into consideration that California alone has a larger population than the entirety of some countries, like Canada.

Population (as of 2024) 👇 USA: 333.3 million Netherlands: 17.7 million Your post isn’t as impressive as you think it is. #Athletics #Olympics #Paris2024

@stealthpadre @Devin_Heroux Wait till you see Canada vs Australia ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Games.

@Devin_Heroux It was awesome - but sometimes wonder why a country like Australia doubles us? Is it their funding? Approach to sports in general? And your interviews are the best!

This is now one of the greatest Olympic performances, Summer or Winter, ever by Team Canada 🇨🇦 At 26 medals in Paris -- Team Canada has tied the totals of Vancouver 2010 and Beijing 2022 for second-most ever. The record is 29 in Pyeongchang 2018.

@mixedsoul_ @JuJuBreauxD @TrackGazette twitter.com/brett_nineone/…

@JuJuBreauxD @Brett_NineOne @TrackGazette I wouldn’t either. An open 4 vs a relay. Hmm it’s different. I don’t think it beats Quincy Hall coming from 4th off that curve to 1st!

If we were to do a #Paris2024 Olympic award for Track & Field, it would look like this: What changes would you make to this? #Athletics #Olympics

@JuJuBreauxD @TrackGazette @mixedsoul_ Juju, I’m not comparing. Give Quincy the W here if you like. I’m just stating my feelings as a Canadian. We don’t have the same track and field prowess as the US. Andre is the king for us - a very special athlete.

@Brett_NineOne @TrackGazette @mixedsoul_ Quincy hall sprained something in his 400m and STILL won Gold, I’m sorry it don’t get any more clutch than that. I’m well aware of Andre accomplishments as I’m a fan but I just wouldn’t put him above Quincy Hall.

@JuJuBreauxD @TrackGazette @mixedsoul_ Hall’s 400 was CLUTCH, but to contextualize from a Canadian POV, Andre ran an incredible relay leg nursing a hamstring injury to claim gold. In doing so, he earned his SEVENTH Olympic medal, tying him for the most decorated Canadian Olympian of all time. Pretty clutch.

@TrackGazette @mixedsoul_ Andre De Grasse, I like him but what Quincy Hall did was the definition of clutch.

@HannahBerrelli Australia’s Jessica Hull took a silver in the women’s 1500 today. I’ll remember that. Enough with this breakdancing dialogue — if you don’t like Rachael’s participation, stop talking about it. Again, Jessica Hull. Start talking about her.

So I looked into this. I thought maybe I should feel sorry for the woman, athletes can choke, and maybe it was cruel for people to be making fun of her. Alternatively, I thought it may be possible she was led up the garden path, told she was good break dancer when she wasn’t, and I can’t imagine anything more humiliating than realising you are in fact not a talented athlete on the world stage. Turns out Rachael Gunn here has a PhD in cultural studies, with a speciality in the gender politics of movement and breakdance. She has written about how including break dance in the Olympics changes it from a practice within an alternative subculture, to a hegemonic one that incorporates the dance into what she sees as Australia’s settler colonialist project. I am 100% certain what she is doing here, in wearing the Australia kit even, is trying to make some subversive point she can later write journal articles about. This whole episode is demonstrative of the supreme selfishness of woke identity politics studies. Her little stunt diminishes Australia on the world stage. Hundreds of Australian athletes who will have dedicated their entire lives to athletic excellence will be forgotten, because Rachael wanted to bulk up her ResearchGate profile. Rather than their medals and efforts, this is what Australia will be remembered for. Not to mention the disastrous effect this will have on break dancing as a sport. Its position in the Olympics is not secure, and surely won’t be taken seriously after this. Good job Rachael, you really showed those chauvinist nationalists, hundreds of women and girls will not get their Olympic opportunity now. Rachael represents so much of what is totally lecherous about cultural studies academics. Pick a subject area that will be under-studied in your context, so you can rise through the ranks quickly (how many break dancing academics will there be in Australia?), and wreak absolute havoc in lives of the people you want to study. There is no limit to the sheer disrespect they will dole out, purely for self-advancement.

With promising rookies and a close-knit squad, the Thunder are ready to take on the challenge as they prepare for the season opener on September 7th! Hear more from Coach Norminton: l8r.it/Agdf

@YouAre__Right @hosun_chung @WisdomOfMimir GOJIRA was awesome, though!

@hosun_chung @WisdomOfMimir Neither the obsecene display of vulgarity

China spent $100M on the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony & everyone thought it was a waste. But China saw something no one else did. 15 years later, it's considered the greatest investment in Olympic history. Everyone needs to understand why it worked:

@Jai400m @RaesTake Doesn’t matter. We’ll see at LA 2028.

@Brett_NineOne @RaesTake It’s cooking but Noah no Covid would’ve cooked more.

@not12232 @0noriode @Dexerto The guy is five foot nothing, has no experience, probably doesn’t even know how to set blocks, will have no reaction time, and is a streamer. Male or female, he has the ingredients to get killed by Ewa. Give the lady some respect.

Polish sprinter Ewa Swoboda has accepted IShowSpeed's challenge, inviting him to race on Aug 24 Speed has previously claimed he is unbeatable

@DixonCider1023 @0noriode @Dexerto Hand-timed 😂 . Get the guy in some blocks and he’s getting destroyed. DESTROYED. It’s not close.
