Usain BoltA human will eventually break the nine-second mark in the 100-meter dash

Billy FootballItalian sprinter Lamont Jacobs 100% used steroids to win Olympic gold
Did [Lamont Jacobs] do it? Yeah, 100%. If you look at his Instagram photos from him like two years ago, he's like rail thin. And then if you look at him now, he's like kind of jacked.
PFT CommenterOlympic runners are breaking world records because there are no fans to suck the oxygen out of the stadium
If there's no crowd at all, does that mean that there's more oxygen for the people to breathe on the track? ... They're sucking all the oxygen out normally, but when there's no fans there, it's a richer environment for especially distance runners to be able to breathe more efficiently.
Craig EngelsMost distance runners don't reach their peak performance until they are 30 years old
I'm 27 and most people get real good at running when they're like 30. Why is that? The Kenyan guy could be 45 and know it, but there's a guy from Norway that's 19. That's crazy. So you do have another chance. You're going to have another chance.
Craig EngelsThe mile world record set in the 1990s was likely fueled by heavy steroid use
The mile world record is three minutes and 44 seconds. The dude with the mile world record right now is so juiced up and liked the 1990s that drug testing—I mean, no one dopes anymore, but this dude was just literally coursing with steroids.
Big CatThe Olympics should have a separate division for athletes who are permitted to use performance-enhancing drugs
I think we should have world records for steroid users. Like we really should see how far—we should have regular world records, and then world records of how far can the human body be pushed with help of steroids, right? Humans would just become like a horse.
PFT CommenterOlympic fencing should use sharper swords to make it more dangerous
I think they should have sharper swords and fencing. Like give me an element of danger. It should be death, death, death, but like maiming.
PFT CommenterI could medal in Olympic handball because it is just gym class
I thought the easy first pick is handball. I absolutely can medal in handball. It really is the gym class of the Olympics. All you'd have to do is just do band workouts for your shoulder to develop like an 80 mile an hour fastball... I'm not going to ever lose to Croatia in this sport.
Big CatI could medal in curling because I like cleaning
My first pick is going to be curling. I think if you just gave me four years, I could figure it out every single day. I like shuffleboard, I like ice, I like being slightly overweight... and broom guy, the broom guy seems like it's like—I love cleaning.
HankI could medal in pole vaulting if I trained for four years
I will go with pole vaulting. You just run, stick the stick... All you got to do is run straight and get the timing down. I'm going to be jacked by August.
Billy FootballI could medal in Equestrian sports because the horse does the work
This one, you actually don't have to be athletic at all, but a question in sports... you can train a horse, you don't actually have to be that good. ... It's new team names. The horse does the work.
PFT CommenterI could medal in Olympic ski jumping by just going 'full send' once
I'm going to go with ski jumping. I'll just bomb it once and just go full send... and just land and crash and I'll have the longest one. ... I can stand perfectly still for about 10 seconds while I'm going downhill... and then you just do like one of those little springs at the last second.
Jay CutlerA US handball team with me, LeBron, and Patrick Mahomes would win Olympic gold
I guarantee we can put a team together. We can win gold. Just, just from pure like arm speed. I don't think guys in other countries and just a really big guy as the goalie back. Right. If you watch it, I mean, I've studied this from time to time... I think if it was you, Patrick Mahomes, and LeBron just how many players play and handle like eight on a shirt all the time. So it was you three against eight players from any other country. I think we went, I think we, I guarantee we can put a team together. We can win gold.
Xavier O'CallaghanJay Cutler is 'insane' to think he could win a handball gold medal in three months
He is insane. He cannot win an Olympic medal training two or three months. You have the potential to be amazing athletes and compete at a high level, but when you want to cook that food, you need the technique... It takes time to be able to be a professional and very good handball player. In the short term, it's impossible. In the long term, it takes years.
PFT CommenterAmerican athletes are superior to Europeans in every sport
I think just for the record, if Europe's listening to me, America has superior athletes to Europeans. That's just a fact. We just do. Every single one of them is better than every European in every sport that any European has tried to play.
PFT CommenterThe Russian curler using performance-enhancing drugs proves curlers are taking it seriously
one of the Russian athletes got busted for using drugs and it was a curler... So curlers are now taking performance enhancing drugs. Well, it's Russia. Adderall... you have to dope if you're in Russia.
Big CatWinter Olympics athletes aren't that impressive; you just have to be born in the right place
The Winter Olympics are definitely the Olympics where you can sit there and if you watch it long enough, you can convince yourself you could have been an athlete in every single sport. It's not hard. It's just essentially like if you were born in a weird European country and they didn't have basketball yet, you would be a speed skater.
Big CatMichael Phelps is definitely coming out of retirement for the Tokyo Olympics
Does anyone actually think that Michael Phelps isn't racing in Tokyo? The guy can't go a year without having to get into a race with a great white shark, and this is the guy who's retired? He's definitely going to race in Tokyo.
PFT CommenterEurope is on the hot seat for being off its game across all sports
My hot seat, I've got the entire country of Europe. Europe has been off its game. They can't win at the Olympics. They can't win at the Ryder Cup. They lost England.

PFT CommenterI could win an Olympic silver medal in a swimming relay if I was on a team with Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, and Connor Dwyer

little bone to pick water polo and field hockey men's field hockey those are the two worst sports in the world um why well water polo you talk about drowning they literally just i mean they're treading water and they're trying not to drown the entire time
PFT CommenterRyan Lochte should lean into his gas station incident by getting a gun sponsorship
If I'm Lochte, I think it's pretty simple actually. If I'm Lochte, I get sponsored by a gun company because you're not going to get held up if you've got a gun. I've got like some catchphrases already... Lochte and loaded.
Big CatLeBron James would be the best of all time in any Olympic sport he chose
Could LeBron James dominate this sport? And the answer is always yes. If LeBron decided not to play basketball and instead was a swimmer or a high diver or a handball player or a soccer player, he'd probably be the best of all time.
PFT CommenterThe 2016 Olympics Russians got away with systematic doping
The Russians got away scot-free. So the IOC said, OK, we know your whole country had systematic doping for the last 20 years, so we're just going to ban the track and field team... they banned the track and field team, but anybody else from Russia is allowed to compete. So there you go.
