There is only one Russian track and field athlete competing in Rio, and this is her ...DARYA KLISHINA - long jump.
Perhaps the best thing Russia has produced to date!
Cheers,

It's just the Olympics. .....
Corrupt, probably still drug ridden. ......
And, held in a badly run, failing, shit-hole of a country run on neo-liberal lines and STILL failing.
- A country we were told repeatedly back in the 80s/90s would soon surprise us. Epic fail by the econo-mists aka cheap-foggers.
Wotta surpRISE!
Sigh.

Almost everywhere that Spain has been remains a f*****d up "shit-hole of a country".
Being "run on neo-liberal lines" (or not) has little to do with Brazil's worst problems. No government or economic system can easily alter or undo what the Spaniards initiated.
You also didn't mention that the reason a lot of these countries in Central and South America are shit-holes is because of our own country's military adventurism and covert (or otherwise) destabilization efforts (which is almost certainly a factor in Brazil's current "constitutional" crisis) - something that Spain bears little responsibility for.
Sure, smart aleck.There were Hispanics who spoke "Spanish" and there were Hispanics who spoke Portugese, but they were all "Hispanics".
The Portugal at the time of the early conquests Portugal had only recently divided itself from the "Spain" but more importantly the Portugese were basically "Spanish" in faith, outlook and style of leadership (except for some differences in the way their governments granted or divided land). Some at the time, including some Spaniards, did not consider the Portugese to be anything but Spaniards, really. They had the same modus operandi.
And I would opine that part of the reason these "Spanish" countries have been so susceptible to "covert destabilization" efforts, is because of the corrupt character instilled by "Spanish culture" from centuries prior.
The extreme "macho" culture instilled by *Iberian* culture combined with the Roman Catholic mandate to breed like rabbits (no matter how little money was available for family life) certainly did not help their chances any.

You take a thread about a beautiful woman and this is where you go? WTF is up with that? To say nothing about how the facts seem to be nowhere in sight. Comparing modern Spain to the Iberians of old....come on

Who was comparing "modern Spain" to the "Iberians of old"?"Hispania" = "Iberian peninsula". The words (and many of the people there) are related in history. The region has been variously divided over the centuries but the people who live there there can all be considered "Hispanics" or Iberians".
Anyways, my post was in reference to the past, specifically during time of the Latin American conquest and the initial dividing up of the Americas amongst like-minded "Hispanics" (or "Iberians") from Spain and Portugal.
Nothing was said about "modern Spain". "Old" *Hispanics* HAVE certainly left behind a legacy in the Americas, though.
More knee-jerk PC bullcrap from you, of course. Stay away, OK?

Fuck off loser. I'm not PC, far from it, just calling you out for your usual bullshit. Crawl back in your hole.

I'm not sure that you know what you are. Sometimes you act extremely PC and at other times you can seem to be the exact opposite of PC. PC at times and non-PC at other times, as if you're willing to become WHATEVER it is that might make you look "cool" before the crowd at any given moment in time...Grow up, your pathetic sputtering will get you no where here.
None of your spitting is going to change the fact that, even in the 16th century (and even later), people from all of "Hispania" (or "Iberia" - same thing) were thought of as "Hispanics" ("from Hispania") by English speaking peoples.

Fart.....
Like this girl turn up that the Olympics have any redeeming features at all!
BTW she trains in the US and goes through all the same testing as US athletes, that's why she's the only Ruski.
Cheers,

You're also right that her training in the US is what allowed her to compete. But regardless of what the Russians may have done (or not done) in their drug testing, I'm still uneasy with the idea of "collective punishment" for the whole track and field team - surely there were more than a few members who never partook of illegal substances. It seems that they're punishing the innocent along with the guilty.
Many years ago, I also read a review of a book which asserted that, even in the ancient Olympics, there was LOTS of corruption and the "amateur ideal" of such corrupt Olympic administrators as Avery Brundage (with his Nazi ties) never existed in the reality of the ancient games. The winners then were every bit as likely to be "professionals" as they are today. And as Timbo suggests, there's enough corruption in the Olympics these days to go around - administrative corruption even more so than athletic corruption.
But, in keeping with the general tone of this thread, I think the Olympics are still worth watching for the babes though! ;-)
I will be watching!

Eh, I'm betting you'll be speaking in tongues pretty soon...
They liked their women big and strong so they could pull a cart.
Anyone that can broad jump like that,can pull a cart.

According to Wikipedia, she's 25, born January 15, 1991.
Stare at a young girl for longer than 10 seconds and you're probably a pervert.
But if 25 is too young to admire then I'm in big trouble, and I would imagine so are the other flaming heterosexuals in this group.
I admire more now than I did at 20. Women I wouldn't have given a second glance in my youth are now appealing. It's one of the few perks of aging.
The older you get, the bigger the pool of beautiful women. At 20, you think the 40 year olds look old, but at 40 you realize they look fine. Apparently, this continues on and on.
I have a different eye than I did at 20, like I'm in awe of a beautiful object of art I'll never be able to afford to own.
... whether a certain girl is 17-1/2 years old, or 25 years old.
Heck, some 14 year-olds look like 25 year-olds...
So watch out. Nine seconds, or less!!!

I won't date anyone under sixty...Which has been my M.O. lately anyway, sad to say.
