Awesome find

Just watched a few minutes of Fencing. Holy cow that is one boring sport. I think if they would sharpen those foils, take off the safety gear and grade on how much you made the other guy's blood flow, it would be much more exciting. Also, we would be insured of a lot of new competitors in the next Olympics...

On the other hand, watched the Chinese vs Korean women in ping pong. Those gals are nasty. Absolutely amazing serves and volleys. The Chinese definitely had the upper hand

Seems this happens every 4 years - men's 4x100 relay messes up the baton pass.

Looks like #2 (in white bandana) left too soon and #1 couldn't catch up to him. So #2 nearly STOPPED to not go outside the passing zone but it was too late.

And #4 left too late and was behind on the pass to ensure USA had no shot at a medal.



The U.S. hasn't won a medal in the event in 20 years, and it's been 24 years since they won gold.

That is bizarre. You train for your whole life on how to do baton handoffs.

For all the domination the USA has in Track and Field, mens' 4x100 is our albatross lately.

2024 - DQ (pass baton outside the zone)
2020 - did not reach final
2016 - DQ (pass baton outside the zone)
2012 - finished 2nd, later DQ'd for doping
2008 - DNF in 1st Heat

We're not team players?

The World Athletics Ranking System (gold standard of T&F athletic performance rankings) ranks Sydney's performance today the top female T&F performance in history (2nd is Flo Jo's 10.49 in '88). Unquestionably T&F's female GOAT.

ANOTHER Gold for US Track and Field

Wasn't that a winning combo of Patterson's track and field teams at Baylor in the SWC?

I've often wondered why people paint their skin with tattoo's but I think the Olympic rings tattoo are sorta cool.

It seems like every TikTok age user is like a walking billboard with tattoo's.

Just think the athletes that train to get in exceptional shape to make the Olympics share the stage with...breakdancers.

I assume she's no relation to Manute Bol....

I dont know, they do have some resemblance. Both very tall for their sports

Yeah but they don't sound the same..

Just an ass kicking

USWNT wins gold medal.

At the medal ceremony, all players linked arms and sang the national anthem. No virtue signaling BS this time.

I am convinced Megan Rapinoe was the Darth Vader of the USWNT. She taught all those young players to be victims and focus on political stances more than playing.

When she retired, it was like the cancer went away.

TEAM USA STRIKES FIRST—AND IT'S MALLORY SWANSON AGAIN!

They lost a lot of sponsors when she was running her mouth. Kinda like Natalie Maines with the Dixie Chicks. When you promote yourself a political this or that , expect political results. You will automatically turn off a massive amount of folks

Paris has to be the most beautiful city. Did you see the shot where they extinguished the flame?

The United States came out on top in the Olympic medal count in Paris, with a stunning total of 126 medals, including 40 gold.

The fight for national bragging rights over gold medals considered by many countries to be the most coveted prize came down to the wire and in the end China and the U.S. tied with forty apiece.

China, with 91 overall medals, has cemented itself as America's chief rival in the Summer Games.

Meanwhile, Russia, once a world powerhouse at both the Summer and Winter Olympics, was nearly invisible in Paris, fielding only about fifteen athletes and barely registering in the total medal count.

How about this stat for perspective on Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone -- who turned 25 yesterday:

** Sydney ran faster tonight than 16 of the 24 women who competed last night in the Olympic open 400 semifinals. That’s the race WITHOUT 10 hurdles.
