Damn, son

another bungled american relay performance

 

[pumpdog20]

Makes no sense how the US team struggles with handoffs

 

[gregm83]

I remember getting yelled at in middle school about that being unacceptable.

July 9: Spain beat France 2-1 in the Euro semifinal

July 28: Spain beat France 2-0 in the U-19 Euro Final

August 9: Spain beat France 5-3 in the Olympic gold medal match

most successful countries have relay team camps periodically through the season to hone chemistry etc, am guessing US does not

Every Olympics it's the same shit! They clearly don't spend nearly enough time practicing.

Other countries form their teams earlier than the U.S. which builds its roster from the Olympic trials results.

Olivia Reeves takes gold in 71kg Women's Weightlifting, first US women's weightlifting gold in 24 years. Her combined snatch/c&j was 262 kg (578lbs). She's only 21, and has only competed internationally for 4 years. Damn, the US is getting some good young lifters.

Chattanooga girl. Nicely done.

Smoked 20-12 in the semis. Will wrestle tomorrow for bronze.

Crazy. Wonder if he’s got one more Olympics in him.

Wish Vito had done the trials. I know he was injured but absolutely love watching him wrestle.

Vito is fun to watch, but would have been a big cut down to 57kg plus would have been tough taking out Spencer Lee.

yeah there was the world relays in the bahamas there earlier in season i dont even think the americans entered teams

Kind of a disappointing Olympics for the wrestlers. We usually get a men’s freestyle gold medal. I was shocked Dake lost. The Japanese are better at wrestling than I realized. Usually it’s the Russians or Iranians we fear the most.

 

[GATTACA!]

Gotta be the only appearance of breakdancing we ever see right? I'm mortified for these people competing.

 

[Sea Turtle]

That

When Billie Jean plays, look out. You'll see a Sea Turtle break out and dance.

I don't know how anyone could watch that Australian woman perform her seizure simulator and think "I need to see less of this."

 

[PolishDomer]

Breaking is the most ridiculous...can't believe it's considered an Olympic sport? What's next, hot dog eating?

 

[calvegas04]

Break dancing is more deserving to be in the olympics than Race Walking

 

[GowerND11]

Just wait for 2028, they are going to have parkour. I just hope they bring in Dwight and Michael Scott for team USA

Parkour is so much better, it would actually be neat to watch that one.

Hard disagree. There are some really intricate rules about it and it’s actually a race.

Agree. I thought it was a joke until i realized the medalists are doing a 20k(12.4mi) at a ~6:20min/mile pace. Thats probably faster most
on here can run that distance.

just watched former irish player Albert and team USA beat a good Brazil team for Olympic gold in womens soccer 1-0

2032...Magic the Gathering will be included...uh oh..Gary played his mana card, blindsiding Wang Chung from China...US wins Gold! lol

Yeah, that’s annoying. Thats my 5k pace.

 

[calvegas04]

Fisher! What a finish!

I’ve seen 0 attention given to her so far. But Korbin Albert made the game winning play with the interception and perfect through all for the game winning assist.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Race walk? Why would anyone do that?

Edit: OK, maybe if you see some big boobs.

 

[NDBoiler]

Both 4x4 teams cleaning up, especially the ladies.
