This is the last odds we got before the race on NBC
TO Elvis listed at 12-1
Wins easy at 5-1
You thought you were getting a $26 winner. You got a $12 winner
What a terrible look for racing. Happy this happened on national TV. What a fucking joke they’ve let the CAWs become
I just don't see how the 'Gold or Bust' mentality makes you any more successful as an athlete. Anyone at this level is sold out for Olympic Gold. But appreciating the moment, even in defeat, is part of being a true competitor. The all-time greats just seem to love to compete and do it over and over again, sometimes with many golds and sometimes a rainbow of different color medals.
Yazdani, Akgul, Snyder, Dake, Higuchi, Musukaev, Aliyev. Lots of golds. Lots of not golds. But most importantly, lots of YEARS.
This is cool. Glad Takatani could enjoy a very special and rare moment, even in defeat. Guy had a hell of a run and an Olympic Silver medal to show for it. Celebrating this kind of moment is not weakness, nor does it mean you didn't really want gold IMO. Love of competition and acceptance of result is something I would change if I redid my career.

For those 75 years and older: it’s time to retire from public office.
Dare I say, I agree with my brother, Ari. We need a mandatory age limit for all federal elected officials and all federal judges. No one should serve past 75.
Sure, some people will be capable of serving past 75, but just as FBI agents, pilots, foreign service officers, and board members at some corporations have mandatory retirement ages, so should federal elected officials and judges. In a country of 330 million, there are certainly plenty of competent people for these jobs. And practically speaking, a mandatory retirement age is administratively easy and fair. With an age minimum in the Constitution, the framers should have added an age maximum as well. Let’s fix that deficiency.
