Currently tied for 1st in the High Jump finals. Both him and the NZ jumper are tied and didn't clear 2.38m, but have the same number of misses, meaning they could chose to split the gold medal or have a jump off.

McEwen shook his head and basically said "frick that we're jumping."

They shared the gold in Tokyo. I understand wanting to see who’s better.

Some play for the tie. Some play for the win.

except a tie is considered a win. Gold is gold, your gold medal is not diminished by someone else getting a gold.

Born in Abbeville, MS. Right up the road from Oxford, where he graduated from OHS.

Did OM offer this guy?

I don’t think they care about the actual physical gold in the medal. They want to win.

He must have thought sharing did diminish it.

When you guys tie for first in the Olympics, you can decide what you want to do.

It is funny, people and teams are ridiculed on here when they claim a shared division or conference championship.

You have to go all the way back to the last time it happened to see evidence to the contrary.

He was fine until he went to Bama, had he gone a to real gymnastics school like LSU he probably would’ve cleared that bar.

He's already got a gold with a tie, so he wanted to say, I was the best in the world during this Olympics, he could not say that however, so he went for it.
