Congrats Malaika 🇩🇪 amazing achieving a Silver medal while not feeling well. Gute Besserung 💐

[@jank.906]

Malaika has been asked how she felt. She answered and people are shitting on her here. Incredible. No one of you probably competed while not being fully recovered from an infection. I can tell you from my personal experience: It is VERY frustrating not being able to show what you've trained for, considering that you work for a long period to get there! Beside that, she isn't even disappointed which she even mentioned there. Why should she? She won everything what's possible. Everything what is coming after Tokio is and will be just a bonus for her 😌

[@enthusia23]

I love Malaika. Such a sweet soul, hope she recovers asap and can jump for gold next time 🥇🤍

She does not. Her behavior during the press conference was extremely disrespectful.

When I began watching Tara's KZbin videos, I had no idea she was an Olympic athlete. I just enjoyed her energy, joy and zest for life. When I saw her at the Paris Olympics, I shouted to my husband that's the KZbinr I occasionally watch. It was like seeing a good friend. Loved cheering her on and was ecstatic watching her win an Olympic gold!

[@carolsomewhereinengland2541]

There wasn't any class nor humility shown to Malaika Mihambo. Malaika was explaining about competing with her symptoms of ongoing long Covid. There was no empathy shown to her. The Americans even started chatting to each other when Malaika answered a question in her native language. That was bad manners and a lack of respect. Congratulations to Malaika for her silver medal.

As far as the German jumper I understand trying to be athletic yet can't breathe. I had covid a few yrs ago and could barely hold my breath for a few seconds.

@@taylorgreene405 Tokyo and Paris are different and Tara did not jump 7m back then. Very stupidious comparison. Also Mihambo jumped 7.22 this year but was hit by Covid and could thus not conpete at the complete Level. Should not be an excuse to Lose. But still, Davis-Woodhall got Lucky this time that Mihambo had to got through that adversity and still jumped close to 7m

[@breadbutter4221]

@@LWeber-yw6zb No excuses. If she got the clearance from her coach and medical personnel to compete at this level, then it means she is good. From I heard all the bullshit about her struggling to breathe etc etc I knew this was the narrative people like you were going to push that Tara would not have won had Malika been in full shape. We could say that about every event. Maybe Simone Biles would have gotten gold instead of Rebecca from Brazil if she hadnt messed up. Maybe Shericka Jackson from Jamaica would have gotten gold instead of Gabby Thomas, had Sshe not been injured. You show up to compete, you know what you are getting into and you are confident in your abikities and fitness to take you to the top. Do no excuses. She did her best on that day but it was not good enough for gold. Likewise Tara did her best and it was good enough to make her Olympic champion. Kmt

[@thomaskruck4474]

I think Malaika is not disappointed to have lost against Davis-Woodhall , but because she was completely exhausted after fighting Covid and feeling so bad. She tried everything but was finally knocked down. Only 6 weeks ago, she jumped 7,22m in Rome. Then Covid stopped her. There are more athleten struggling which have been infected these days. Covid might be unnoticed until the point when you go to the limits. I guess Femke Bol had be struck by it in the 400m hurdles final also.

[@Wayne1017FP]

All americans here should consider that Malaika isn’t a native English speaker and was just answering the questions that she was asked as well as that there are cultural differences between the US and Germany. In no way her responses were salty or rude. My first impression of Tara was also, that she was disrespectful here but I guess if you take into consideration that this press conference is a bit awkward, she is pumped because of her gold medal win and is more of the extrovert type, I bet she didn’t mean to come across as disrespectful as Malaika wasn’t rude for just answering questions about her health.

[@GritsandBiscuits]

Sincere question, why did you perceive Tara as disrespectful?

[@o0MexicanSummer0o]

@@SPEEDNOTPOWERThat is not true! Why would you say that? Do you know Germans so well? I am a German myself, who lived in San Diego for a long time and I really like that Tara is goofy, charismatic confident because that is kinda how I am. But there’s a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. Why is she messing around with her phone during the press conference while another athlete is speaking? Why does she want all the attention all the time? Is that American?! I wonder?! 😉 Also, if Malaika hadn’t gotten sick beforehand, things might have turned out differently. I mean she still ended up in second place after all. Just saying. Tara was the strongest, but this constant craving for attention isn’t really appealing. That has nothing to do with being self-assured.

[@Herbert1302]

​​@@SPEEDNOTPOWER Malaika is asked about her health and answering how difficult it was for her. During which Tara is making fun with the other American athlete and scrolling thru her phone. It's just disrespectful. Of course she can be happy and celebrate her win. But when there's a serious topic talked about, be respectful, don't interfere and take it serious. It sounds that easy but seems so difficult for her. But I also think it wasn't her intention to be disrespectful. She just didn't understand what Malaika was talking about and maybe couldn't control her emotions or got a generell Problem with giving attention
