Most of the Olympics kinda blow until track starts and I'm charged up right up until I watched the American world champion in the 200 do one of the dumbest things you can do on a track. Pulling up early thinking he could coast only to nervously make the final. I probably will watch a quarter of what I'd planned now.

I find the 100 electric, not unlike a heavyweight championship fight.

I find all other track & field events as easily avoidable & uninteresting as the undercard matches for those fights.


How can you not love the distance events, seeing the Kenyans and Ethiopians slowly make their way to the front?

Or the steeplechase? Running and jumping into a pool of water is magnificent.

That Scandinavian crushing the 400 hurdles made me feel seen for the first time.

Maybe someday my kids can be world class at running slightly faster than people.


:lol:

Chicago-born, infectious positivity, gold medalist, shows humility…there are a ton of clips out there from her post-match interviews worth a quick watch.

This could happen. Right now they are ignoring it, I have't seen much coverage, but I could see them turning it around on her.

If she gets "too much" pub and monetizes it, she's toast. I guarantee it.

She should be the U.S. face of the Olympics. She was hilarious, full of energy and pretty damned interesting.

Who the hell's Nando De Colo? Outdueled Doncic with the help of Fournier and then Gobert and Batum on defense.

Luka must've knackered his wrist when he hit the scorer's table plexiglass covid barrier going for a loose ball.
Luka stopped shooting or making offensive plays after that; which had the side-effect of Luka not bitching to the refs as much or at all for the final 5 minutes. Doncic and the Slovenians like to chirp at the officials. Maybe if Doncic paid more attention to the game and less to the officials his team wouldn't look so discombobulated on offense.

USA vs France in the gold medal game. USA should still win, but France looks like they've played together as a team more than a minute. Any time a french player would drive and get stopped they'd almost no look a pass to a teammate waiting to shoot a 3. Whereas the Slovenians would get stuffed and throw the ball out to empty court, hence Luka having to shag an errant pass out of bounds.

Goran Dragic's younger brother Zoran got benched after going 0-for in 11 minutes and trying to draymond green Nando. Why isn't Goran on the team? You've got a handful of NBA players in the entire country, should have all of em representing.

keep in mind we have a pretty tolerable outlook in the US on "just happy to be here having fun" and many of these athletes today grew up in that environment. meanwhile in china and russia, the stereotype is you are basically worthless if you don't win. I believe our athletes overcoming the message its ok to be mediocre is pretty fantastic comparably.

I saw that. I’ve been a Jay Wright fan for a long time and I barely pay attention to college basketball.

It’s actually a good thing to not win. It proves we’re the real winners.
