Hubbard fails to complete a single lift in the snatch.
Quite possibly the funniest unintended wit I've read in awhile...
Or was it
The penis is on later today. A new event, the snatch is old news.
Hubbard will do better in that I think.
I'm going to be in so much trouble with the QWERTY folk for that.

The IOC may be corrupt as all fuck, but they're smart enough to link the competitor's insta accounts:

A quick glance at current Track and Field WR and heres the ones that its hard not to think hmmmm (based on prejudice and deep seated suspicions of course..)

Womans 800m - Czech 1983
Womans High jump - Bulgarian 1987

Womans 10km Walk - Russian 1990
Womans 4 x 400 Relay - Russian 1988
Womans 4 x 800 Relay - Russian 1984Men dont seem so dodgy, most records these days have been broken in the last 20 years.
But the woman, amazing how many records were set in the mid-late 80's and have never been broken since...1987/1988 seems especially to have been the height of the drug i mean track and field program..

Women's 400m WR is held by a, checks notes, East German from 1985. Ridiculous that is still an official record.
There’s a few track and field records from the 70s and 80s from the Eastern Block that are still current today.
It's not just the Eastern Block countries, but that era, and into the 1990s. Randy Barnes, the US shot putter was juiced and his WR from 1990 was only broken this year by Crowser.
