Hubbard is 43. Apparently the oldest weightlifter to qualify fo the olympics. Shouldnt be winning medals at that age in a sport than requires peak physical capabilities. If Hubbard manages a medal then it will only reinforce claims of unfairness.

I don't disagree with your last statement, though.

Great to see how invested in the games the surfers were. Looked like it really meant alot to them to be a part of it.

Can anyone tell me the qualification criteria for 3x3 basketball

The standard is so sh*t. You'd think we could get the 15-18th best Aussie players in and dominate this.

It's bad and you should feel bad if you enjoy it

Hope they get rid of it when they bring cheerleading in lol

Yeah it seems to be more "street ball" rules which is fine. But why is there not a single player of note there?

The US could make 100 teams that would smoke anyone else.

It's pretty much a separate sport to basketball as far as qualifying and tournaments go. Might even be amateur, so you won't see big time pros play. It's also kinda stupid.

It might just be this head cold I've got, but I'm finding the dressage captivating late night viewing.

Wow 10nmol/l is quite high.

the reference range for men is 10-40 (depending on assay, but there are plenty of men who sit just below this for a variety of reasons (obesity, sleep apnoea, opiate medications etc)

But those men wouldn't be of olympic athletic standard.
