Olympics Paris 2024

I
Just happened to catch all of those (technically I saw that very last of Mu’s race and the camera following her into tunnel)

The trials are harsh but that’s kinda the point- in theory they’re rewarding the athlete peaking at the right time (vs sustained excellence or something) and the athletes know this
Wu got unlucky (but she also put herself in the position to get unlucky)
And it’s also like Whitaker doesn’t deserve to go - her 3rd place final time beat Mu’s semi-final time
I know racers run harder in finals than prelims but still- Whitaker came in 3rd so she’s going to Paris
It’s brutal but fair
