      That’s a tactful way of putting it.

      Us Australians would just say, “What a fucking stubborn cunt.” while clapping and doing those “I can’t believe it, but good on them” contemplative head shakes

      Charline Picon won gold in Rio and silver in Tokyo in the old windsurfing format. After they changed to the new IQfoil style boards for this Olympics she switched sports to 49er (two man dinghy), completely starting from scratch - including having to learn how to work as a two person team.

      She ended up taking bronze! These competitors blow my mind.
