By definition there were 10 people better than him.

All meat eaters. I dunno about you but the next time the all-vegan diets fail to win gold, fail to survive climbing a mountain, and fail to complete a half marathon I might start rethinking my spiritual foodie journey of holier-than-thou bullshit.

To the non-meat protein question, Kendrick Farris is a vegan olympic athlete for one (weightlifting), Morgan Mitchell (400m runner) is another.

Apparently that gymnast did the exact same thing before the last Olympics but on the other leg. That would be enough to put me off vaulting for life, can’t believe how calm he was about it. But definitely been far too many athletes in hospital from these Olympics already :(
