I’ve seen a lot of The Thrill Of Victory, but what were some moments when a team or person sorta crashed and burned? Alison Gibson, Stiliana Nikolova, Team France Gymnastics. What did I miss? Not trying to be negative just seeing the ups and downs.

    Walid Bidani, Algerian weightlifter. His singlet was nonconforming, so he tried to cover the Adidas stripes with black tape. I didn’t see his first attempt, but the tape got stuck on his arm during the second and ruined the lift. He never even made it to the platform for his third attempt, and that was his whole Olympics.
