I thought the same thing when I heard they had speedwalking. Then I saw it and no way I can do that

Hungary/Greece water polo.
The Hungarian goalie makes a save and gives the Greek guy the Mutombo finger wag. :) :) :)

This has been a very good game. I know people like to say NBA players are divas but you can see how badly they want this.
Also it’s really bothering me that Bob Fitzgerald keeps saying “Free throwing”
Interesting in the last defensive T.O. Jay Wright was doing all the talking about setting up the D.
Was nice performance. Excellent team defense + Durant.
I'm impressed by the quality of basketball on the world stage. This was never a gimmee for the USA. France is a damn good team. So is Spain, and some other squads.

I didn’t know that was a thing. When I saw Draymond knocking de Colo’s free throw off of the rim my immediate reaction was “Wtf is he doing!?”
I coached basketball for a long time in the US and then coached in Vietnam under FIBA rules. More than a few differences that you have to adjust to.
Especially when they are doing it for a race that’s 31 miles
He really pushed his teammate to the bronze which pushed the US decathlete to 4th
US women’s 4x400 will have both Jersey Girls running for their 2nd gold medals. Athing Mu and Sydney McLaughlin. Smart move putting them on the squad. Race is live at 8:30am today
Men’s 1500 comes on at 7:40. Oregon runner Cole Hocker could surprise with a medal
Eagles QB Randall Cunningham’s daughter,Vashti, competing live now for a medal in the women’s high Jump

France played well and made US team look very beatable.
Why we never send lights out three point shooters like other teams do?
We simply suck at shooting the threes.
We have so many open threes that are not converted.
The way we pick the team has to change.

The biggest differences are little things that coaches worry about. All timeouts come from the bench, players can't call timeout. Last 2 minutes if the opponent scores you can take the ball out at midcourt like the NBA. You can't call a timeout after an offensive score until the final 2 minutes.
If you're inbounding the ball at half court a player can't go in the backcourt unlike US scholastic rules.
That's a few.
If you have the ball and fall down or get up from the floor in possesion it's a travel in the US while FIBA you can fall down but you can't get up. Also if you're on the floor with the ball you can roll over in FIBA but in the US that's a travel.

In his three gold medal games KD has gone for 30, 30 and 29.
Rememeber when everyone said this team of divas and crybabies wasn't even going to get a medal?
Another win for the basketball experts on this board.

I’m not a big basketball fan but this is big time.
Is KD considered one of the best ever?
Not one of the best all time but one of the best in the game today. He is the US's all time leading scorer in Olympic competition.
Been watching a lot of Olympic wrestling and I've enjoyed it.
The final in the Super heavyweight division was incredible. It was a kid named Gable Steveson (named after USA wrestling legend Dan Gable) who was NCAA champion from Minnesota against a Georgian who is a 3X world champ.
Steveson was down 8-5 with 15 seconds to go which is a big lead at this level with that amount of time. The kid had two takedowns in 15 seconds, the second one with 0.3 seconds left to win!!!
Then at 275 pounds the kid does a Simone Biles like back flip!!!
I pasted an article but you can find it on Youtube but it's blocked for me.

‘Ain’t no way’: Gable Steveson wins shock last-second super-heavyweight wrestling gold
American 21-year-old Gable Steveson stunned Georgia’s triple world champion Geno Petriashvili with a last-gasp victory in the super heavyweight gold medal
Yeah, change is necessary so we can win a medal better than gold.
Did he win with a chair shot or People's elbow?Been watching a lot of Olympic wrestling and I've enjoyed it.

US men win the 4x400 as well. I think that wraps up the track and field events.
I don't think this post by Kapy is aging well.
Looks like a solid win for the US team with the medal count:
It will be one of the highest totals ever for the U.S.depending on these last few days.Looks like a solid win for the US team with the medal count:
