The Good, The Unhealthy, The Unhappy, and the Relaxation at Paris
The Good
The Stade de France is a powerful stadium that showcases a wonderful athletics program.
Spectators—after the Tokyo empty stadium and Rio’s disappointing crowds, it was sensible to have crowds and an environment.

Nice duels—Ingebrigtsen and Kerr—it’s only a disgrace nobody informed Cole Hocker he was not alleged to win!
Seeing Hamish Kerr win the excessive bounce and run 50 meters up the infield!
Two Zimbabweans within the ultimate of the boys’s 200m.
Spectacular, not simply good – Sifan Hassan gained the marathon 3 days after taking a medal at 10,000

If you happen to don’t at first, succeed… Canada with bronze in males’s 4 by 100 in Rio, silver in Tokyo, and gold in Paris
The Unhealthy
Noah Lyles selfishly determined to run within the 200 meters and hugged different athletes earlier than asserting that he had examined constructive for COVID-19.
Improper winners: On the end of a race, the enormous stadium scoreboard places up a consequence – usually with the phrase PHOTO subsequent to it. As a rule, it’s the WRONG identify. For the ladies’s 100h, for instance, Jasmine Comacho-Quinn was chosen because the winner. Then, to native cheers, Cyrena Samba-Mayela was awarded the win, and ultimately, third time fortunate, the scoreboard put Masai Russell first. Fred Kerley gained the 100m, based on the scoreboard. Utter farce – why not wait till you understand.

The award of silver to Religion Kipyegon, her disqualification and reinstatement. Examine the proof, take your time, and make the precise determination fairly than altering it twice.
Repechage is a adverse change from the individuals who need to carry you a protracted bounce with out a board.
Having to go up 30 steps to enter the Stade de France each session – a nightmare for the aged and disabled. Apparently, the Paralympics is coming.
The Unhappy
The unnoticed finish of a stellar 5 Olympic profession of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce when she was introduced as a non-starter within the semi-final of the 100 meters.

I noticed an uncompetitive Jamaican ladies’s dash relay crew with Fraser-Pryce, Thompson-Herah, and Jackson lacking.
Seeing an in poor health and uncompetitive Gimbo Tamberi within the excessive bounce.
