That's probably the nail in the coffin for us catching the Gold medal count. We're currently down by 5. 2 in basketball, maybe a relay gold medal (really need 2), women's water polo maybe and then you gotta hope we can find one in another individual sport.

On top of them not winning another one

I d love to be first in Gold's but I would rather have the overall title. If you look at the way our group/team has performed this year overall and in spite of the fact that we have really under performed in a lot of areas, we are doing well. We should have done better but considering again, that we have some athletes that have well under performed to their potential, been somewhat misguided and maybe mis- and out- coached in a lot of events I'll take where we are. Just finish in front of the damn Chinese government. Sorry, team.
Peace for Ukraine!

Baseball, basketball (x2), water polo, volleyball, wrestling, boxing, 4x400 relay (x2), golf. Plenty of opportunities left.

I've never understood why marathons, race walking, etc. are part of the summer games. I mean I get why, but no major city has their marathon in the middle of summer for a reason

I agree, but it falls under that athletics banner. Just have to accept it's a war of attrition more than a race

Poor hand offs doom the US gold hopes but I must say Prandini ran one heck of a 3rd leg.

Fun news is that my wife really wants to go to Paris 2024 to watch beach vball which would mean I get to watch Mu dominate the 800m & 400m in person. Win-win for me

Love to see they had Bryce run the 4x400 and then have the fastest split on the team. Hope they have him run in the final. Thanks for the updates.

3 points for gold, 2 for silver, and 1 for bronze, according to the official modified 94chem scoring system.

Put his ass on the actual 4x400 team. Don't **** this up Carl
curious as to why you say this. Is Carl Lewis in charge of the relays?
