We've been watching the break dancing this morning. All I can say is that it's about time. It's amazing. One guy had a move where he supported himself on one arm -- full arm extended -- and then bent the arm until he was supported only by his forearm. And just as stable as a table. The body control and invention of these competitors is off-the-charts.
I know this was a poor attempt at a troll. You really should try harder next time.
No matter how hard I try I just can't get into this soccer match. Only 1 actual shot on goal by either team since I started watching about 15 minutes ago until we finally scored one. The rest of the time it's been keep away and kicks out of bounds. Also, three players have went down like someone hit them with a car and one had to be carried off the field.
McLaughlin-Levrone and Russell representing Kentucky Women’s hurdling very well!
Possibly deduct a bronze in gymnastics (she will lose it). Chiles who had won with an appeal based on degree of difficulty, five days later it could be taken away,,,, because the official of arbitration 5 days later determined she did not protest within one minute of the allowable time to appeal. It took them FIVE days to determine she did not appeal the score within the one minute time allowed ??? Why give her the adjusted score five days ago and award her a bronze medal without checking the time of appeal first ? Shit like this is what give the Olympics a bad name. Well any sport that has the result hanging in the balance of judges and not the actual result showing a clear winner (score / finish line). I guess this is a appeal of a appeal. But once again to me, the best and fairest way would have been to check the time of appeal BEFORE granted her the win of the appeal. 5 days later changing the scores AGAIN is just a very bad look. The boxing gender thing, this, and several other instances really makes you question the trust of these judges / officials.
Women just pulled a secretariat in the 4X400. Jesus
Women just pulled a Secrateriat moment in the 4x100. Sydney and Gaby are awesome!
LeChina James single-handidly makes the American team unlikeable. Has anybody ever loved/had to make it all about himself more than this clown?
Curry was unreal at the end and Davis made plays on defense to get the gold for the US and the 3 former Cats.
Wow! That last 3 by Curry was unreal. Shot over a double team. US wins gold again.
I guess I’m off by 1. China must have won another diving or ping pong medal. So need the women to tie now.
Women's volleyball too. Other than that there's cycling, weight lifting, pentathlon and wrestling. No clue on how the Americans will do in those sports tomorrow.
Beat me to it. Tried to get a picture but they didn't show them together up there anymore.
If we can win the women's basketball and volleyball then I think we will end up with the most golds. I don't see any sport left that I think China is favored in, but I'm not all that familiar in those other sports.
Yeah the 2 guaranteed golds in basketball gave the US some margin for error. I thought that flub in the 4x 100 men’s relay might cost them but they really stepped up since.
The Chinese divers are insane. They don’t just win, they crush.

I think we will look back and even though the swimmers had more golds than the Australians it felt disappointing with some of the results and silvers (probably more letdown with the men than women),however, the men’s and women’s track and field performances by the USA were probably as a whole one of the best we’ve ever seen. The depth and talent they showed was incredible.
I get that we want to have the most golds, but by any fair metric, we are wiping the floor with the Chinese. 122-90 in total medals, and 240-195 if you use the 3-2-1 point formula for G-S-B, which I think is very fair.
