Still upset at being knocked out of the Tokyo Games because of a positive coronavirus test, Sam Kendricks is considering skipping Paris if he qualifies.

Bitter over 2021, pole vaulter Sam Kendricks may turn down Olympic bidwapo.st Still upset at being knocked out of the 2021 Tokyo Games because of a positive coronavirus test, Kendricks is considering skipping Paris if he qualifies.

Then why is he even trying to qualify, seems like a total waste of his time

Oh right he’s a giant toddler living in an adult man’s body, makes sense now

He's bitter over not being allowed to spread a dangerous virus to his fellow athletes? Okay, bye!

Yeah that’ll show em

Yes good strategy qualify for the Olympics and then just don’t go.

Well, that's certainly a well-thought out and mature plan.

What a whiner. Asymptomatic cases are a thing.

Eat shit and then enjoy Covid ravaging the bodies of you and those you love for the rest of our lives

I’m sure the person who came in second would love it if he skipped the Games as well.

I am also considering not going to Paris if I qualify, way too busy in July

Couldn't get me there for all the unfiltered Gitanes in the world!

Gauloises for the win!

Who?

No one important.

Is this winning or losing the spite Olympics?

Good. Nobody cares

Did you post this to showcase what a big crybaby Sam is, because if so that's funny and kind of pointless

Man, what a sore loser if he does.

Truly mature and logical thing to do.

well, that’ll show…the coronavirus?

What a baby. Grow up, my dude.

Good grief. Over privileged entitlement is an epidemic of its own. (But the replies here are hilarious.)

Who?

Good for him. He can do much better for himself as a pro pole vaulter.

His oaklies check out

"It's a stupid, meaningless competition that I have no interest in competing in which is why I'm so furious that they wouldn't let me" is the pole vault version of the "The food is terrible here, and such small portions" joke.

I'm sure everybody will be heartbroken.

Weird, I thought he's supposed to be good at getting over stuff.

He should consider skipping into a tar pit.

Yes! Good. Let the butt hurt flow through you.

Never heard of him

Oh.

"like"

WaPo, I'm out! Not interested in being a part of whatever in the hell you've decided to embark on.

He’s only hurting himself

A post article, and not one comment about how the post IS-A-RIGHT-WING-HACK-JOB-TRUMP-BALL-COZY!? I may be sick...

Why is a white man's (or any person's, but methinks it wouldn't be reported otherwise) petty grudge considered newsworthy?

Gives us a chance to be witty.

Fair.

Cry more you loser

what a loser

Who

Good job giving column-inches to a man-baby for a pointless article, Wapo! 🙄

happy for him and/or sorry that happened
