Kennedy Blades loses to Japan. The cycling race is in progress; I really can't tell what is going on.

As volleyball is about to lose, the USA has to have cycling to have hopes to tie China in the golds race.

Congrats Romania. You win bronze on a technicality but will know you never really deserved it because a judge accidentally did you a favor.

Italy sweeps the US to claim volleyball gold. After a loose second set in their very first match against the Dominican Republic, they won 17 straight sets in the competition; too good.

Jennifer Valente is 36 points up in the final race of the omnium! I don't understand the rules at all, but it is looking good if she can stay on the bike.

Be nice. She might not be attractive but at least she looks like a woman and she can play. We have less attractive women in some sports.

Barbosu should've won bronze even with the inquiry. She got screwed out of a tenth for an OoB where she clearly wasn't.

But it is truly impressive how the judges/committee managed to handle this in a way where everyone got screwed.

So does the cycling gold get us to 40?

If so tied with china and need gold in women's basketball.

Edit

Apparently that gets us to 39. We need gold in basketball to tie china at 40.

See the Indian wrestler who missed weight by 100 grams. They are absolutely unforgiving about rules in the Olympics. It sucks but they do this to everyone across all sports. They don't give exceptions, ever.

It all comes down to this!

USA faces off against host France for the women's basketball gold and to tie China at the top of the gold medal table, putting the US at the top of the medal table for the fourth straight Games, and the 7th of 8 times since the end of the Soviet era.

I have it on good authority that Gregg Popovich has appeared at the arena wrapped in the French tricolor, wearing a beret, and with baguettes in hand to wave at our athletes at the free throw line.

Well we have not lost a game since 1992 so I like our chances. And too bad Clark is not playing. I might have watched if she were.

Have you been sleeping under a rock?

She failed the controversial gender eligibility test after she was found to lack a Y chromosome.

The US has lost one game in Olympic history to a country that currently exists (bizarrely, losing their very first Olympic game to Japan in 1976). US also lost to the Soviets in 1988 and their successor "Unified Team" in 1992.

Wow so that no gold in the high jump where they were tied and the other athlete chose to jump it off - really cost us. They could have shared golds.

Some have reported it as McEwen "agreed to a jump off". But according to reports McEwen said the NZ jumper came to him and said he wanted a jump off for it and McEwen agreed. I mean it really didn't matter at hat point if the NZ jumper wanted a jump off it was going to be a jump off because both have to agree to share it and the NZ jumper said he was never doing that.


Quote:
"He said it first, and I agreed to it," McEwen said, according to the Washington Post. "At some point, I kind of got fatigued. I maybe would have shared it with him, for sure. But I agreed to it, and it was all good."

And the 4 x 100 m men's relay failing to get the baton around, again.

And Noah Lyles losing an event he hadn't lost in three years after getting COVID.

And Simone Biles stepping out of bounds with both feet, twice, during the floor final.

And Austin Krajicek's partner being unable to get a single first serve in up a set and a break in the men doubles tennis final.

And on and on.

Forgot about that tennis one.....that hurt up 1 set to 0 and up 4-2 in the second set and lose the set and then the tiebreaker. Ugh.

But the high jump I mean it was over they were done and could have both walked away with gold which happened in 2020 I believe.

China has their own regrets, of course.

Boxing silver after losing to an Algerian who was disqualified from the last world championships for being male.

Self-destruction in the last rotation of the men's gymnastics team final, men's all around gymnast getting silver after falling down during his floor routine, etc.

I don't know whether to be happy we're not down 10, or mad that we're not up by 20.

At least she didn't claim to be non-binary like US shot putter and 5000M track zhers.

I suggest that the US coach channel Herb Brooks and limit her halftime speech to: "If you lose this game you'll take it to your graves. Your ****ing graves."

Based on this performance, it doesn't appear that she has anything else useful to offer.

Caitlin Clark had made women's basketball somewhat interesting. This game has taken the sport back a decade. Completely unwatchable.
