    Run the jumping and throwing at the same time.

    If you throw a thing and hit one of the jumpy people, you win gold.

    There's a German who has already managed to hit (and kill) an official.

    No medal. Officials aren't very fast-moving.

    That was impressive from Lisa Carrington. She is the real deal, right there.

    Does she what. I’d be wary of arm wrestling her at the pub.

    That's some tremendous athleticism to do hurdles and medal!

    seriously who does this...???? world champion Sifan Hassan makes an incredible recovery from a fall at the final bell to win her 1500-metre heat at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday. Falls over another runner, face plants, gets up, catches pack, out sprints them also to win heat
