You don’t want to get caught by a croc - they are the perfect predator. But yeah we will take them on down here. I’ve lost a few buddies to crocs.

300 million years of not evolving because you are perfectly adapted is a helluva drug

I finally was able to catch the Gojira opening ceremony thing. Haha. That has got to be one of the most metal things ever.

Headless singing Marie Antoinette, fire, a prison palace, and gojira singing a revolution song about hanging aristocrats. Doesn't get more metal than that..

Suni Lee is yes

holy shit watch the bronze medal womens rugby 7s match

The women kicked ass. Still blows my mind that we are an Olympic powerhouse after watching the Soviet bloc kick our ass my whole childhood.

ND swimmer, Chris Guiliano, qualified for the 100m free finals.

That was fucking awesome. Those ladies are so big and so fast, really happy for them. That was great.

If our rugby league girls were able to play we would have won gold pretty easily.

Sounds like the USA with everything that isn't basketball

I’m pretty sure the Australian swim team is juicing. 🤣🤣🤣

Shocked at how bad our 3 v 3 basketball team is. You would think we would have been able to put together a better team

Agree. I don't even recognize any of the names other than Jimmer.

You would think the conversation would be something like...Are you good at basketball? Yes. Are you on the current 5v5 Olympic basketball team? No. Do you want to win an Olympic medal? Yes. Ok, see you at tryouts...

We are losing gold medals to England in the pool?

The only things we should be losing to them are soccer, cricket, beer drinking and finishing schools.

They were the defending gold medal winner.

I know. Just a joke.

That sums up your posting history pretty well.

This could have applied to our women's team or the men. Freakin' Haley Van Lith on the womens's team assures the opponent that we'll take, and miss, a bad shot when the game is on the line. Women's college BB is loaded with deadeye stationary 3 point shooters and they couldn't find one who could play in the Olympics?

People care about 3v3 basketball?

Sorry didn't think you knew. It was a funny post.

England and France are doing really well this time. I'm impressed.

The golden generation in swimming is done now. We are still great, but the days of getting 16 gold medals in the pool with the next closest nation having 3 or 4 is done.

Field hockey seems bad for your back

Michael Phelps spoiled us. The volume of events he swam was ridiculous. Insane how close so many of these swim events are.

All of his records have already been beaten. How crazy does that seem?

I thought he still had the medley? Could be wrong though. I looked it up a few weeks ago but didn't check the source. Regardless it is crazy but is one of my favorite things about sports. The "impossible" is almost always the new normal after a decade or so.

Except for the NBA which peaked in the 90s according to some 🙄

It’s battling out with BMX dancing for the stupidest sport at the limpix.
