Old Man America pulled it out. Actually cool to see France in the final, will be a lot of energy in the arena for the finals.
Good news: France isn't as good as Serbia
Bad news: the crowd will be ELECTRIC. The noise will be deafening in a college basketball way as long as France hangs around.

Yeah my brother does both. Just mixes it up from time to time. Love going to watch some of his meets. Those dudes are ridiculousYokelRidesAgain said:I know, my ex-father in law competed nationally in 65+ powerlifting. And yeah, he's on 'roids.wangus12 said:
My brother competes in power lifting still. At the local/regional level, its funny because they have organized Open (use steroids) events and then Closed (drug testing) events. Cracks me up
The way he explained it to me, the Olympic stuff is way harder because of the agility and balance needed. Powerlifting is just brute strength.
Steve Kerr and his band of prima donna idiots pulled it off!
France's back court isn't very good, and Rudy Gobert isn't scaring anyone with his scoring. Start Edwards, Curry, LeBron, Durant, and Embiid and shoot them out of the gym.PascalsWager said:

Do people know that track and swimming are gonna switch weeks in LA 2028?
First week track and 2nd week swimming. It's gonna be weird.
why?
They are holding the open ceremony and swimming at SoFi Stadium (38,000 capacity for swimming). Swimming events start 12 hours after the opening ceremony, and they need more time to turn over the venue.Zombie Jon Snow said:PascalsWager said:

It's pretty cool if you have it on mute. I don't know what they're talking about, but it looks cool seeing stoned snoopy talk to that guy that isn't Bob Costas…Aggie Therapist said:

Snoop farted on Bob Costas' pillow which allowed Mike Tirico to Wally Pipp him
Does anybody miss Costas?
No one loved the sound of his voice more than he did.

I don't know how others feel but I love Tirico in this role

How long do you want to ignore this user?

He's been great. A true pro. When he first moved from ESPN to NBC in 2016 and did this role, I thought he wasn't a good fit when he was working Rio. I do associate Costas with the Olympics still because I'm old, but Mike Tirico has killed it in Tokyo and now Paris.JDUB08AG said:

Men's 4x400 did just enough with the 16yr old leading off. He didn't run well but going against Botswana and the reigning 200m gold medalist was a bad combo for the kids debut.

Snoop is a national treasure
It was a bad idea to give him the leadoff. Thats the toughest/longest leg with a ton of pressure
Another canoeing gold for China. 30 all.

Men's water polo loses to Serbia 10-6 in the semifinals. This was not an event that the US was expected to win coming in, but disappointing as the four finalists looked relatively even.

In a minor surprise, China wins gold and bronze in women's springboard, instead of gold and silver.
The bronze medalist will probably miss the LA Olympics due to her upcoming sentence to a forced labor camp.
China is one gold medal away from the diving sweep and lead total golds 31-30.

A little concerned about China in the men's 4x100.
So we are now at 31-30 for Golds with China leading
Events left with "expected" medals
United States:
M/W Basketball
M/W 4x100
M/W 4x400
M 400mH (Hope Rai can come through)
Wrestling 57kg Mens
Womens Vball
Womens Soccer
China:
Team Table Tennis M/W
Diving M
Women's Field Hockey
3 Boxing Finals
Women's Golf
Weightlifting x2
We both still have athletes going in Canoeing/Breaking (so dumb)/Wrestling
If all these turn into Golds, it ends 40-40, but thats not gonna happen. I think China probably has us this year.

While I agree Tirico does a great job I don't have any respect for him and don't care to see him on tv. After reading ESPN: Those Guys Have All The Fun, I learned some pretty damning info about the guy. Specifically he was well known for sexually harassing women there. Multiple people in the book confirmed it. Every time I've see him on tv since I read that book it's all I can think of, the guy sounds like a real POS.
I would delete women's golf from China; currently neither the US or China has a golfer in medal position, and there are two Americans ahead or tied with China. Most likely it is neither, but I wouldn't count out Korda.wangus12 said:

Good money to be made on China if you think they're going to win (US -1050 on FanDuel for most golds).

Agreed I think he is perfect for this. Very tempered and yes still excited for all of it. And a great voice.
Breaking B-Girls qualification round currently on E!
Tried watching it. I have no idea what is considered good.
Are they suppose to "battle". Music and dance don't really jive.
