France with a PK to tie it at 3-3!!! WOW!

 

[pele78]

Going to extra time in soccer, what a comeback by France

Women's 400M Final - NADA ....embarrassing!!!

 

[bac2therac]

Same here....I blew the last 4 x 100 I ever ran....SMDH

Yeah for me Ridgewood Relays 4 x 200 but not my fault...the official had me standing to far up in the accleration lane which i knew was wrong and caused me to have to basically take a hand off almost standing still

 

[pele78]

Women's 400M Final - NADA ....embarrassing!!!

Except that Polish runner was a hottie

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Women's Heptahlon

Annie Hall doesn't medal. Why? Because after throwing her BEST EVER toss in the javelin, yesterday, she took a "hop" of joy (CLEARLY FOLLOWING THE THROW) which landed her feet on the penalty line and that throw was DQ'd. So she had to win the 800 today by 8-seconds to medal, over 2 other athletes, and just couldn't pull it off as THEY all ran their best 800's ever as well.

Feel awful for her. I get the rule BUT her "hop" had ZERO to do with her throw. That was just some rough bullshit IMHO.

I feel bad too, but she knows the rules, so I can't agree it's bs

 

[pele78]

On a last throw, just got knocked off podium in women's shot

 

[AreYouNUTS]

WOMEN'S SHOT PUT

Team USA's Jaida Ross misses bronze by...... 4 Millimeters.....UGH that's rough!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I feel bad too, but she knows the rules, so I can't agree it's bs

I get it....but....that wasn't a "follow-through" or anything. That sucks.

Tae Kwon Do

Team USA gets BRONZE from a Florida 18-year old in the Women's 67KG category.

This is 5 CONSECUTIVE GAMES that Team USA has NOT medaled in the 4 x 100

Women's 400M Final - NADA ....embarrassing!!!

Hopefully not the difference in losing the overall gold medal count.

 

[pele78]

The upcoming men's 400 m hurdles is going to be a good one : Benjamin, Warholm, dos Santos

 

[pele78]

Hopefully not the difference in losing the overall gold medal count.

Down 1 to China now. We had no favorites in the women's 400. But you absolutely can blame the 4x100 men's relay (coaches).

 

[Caliknight]

The fact our 4x team can't pass a baton over a number of games now is very embarrassing for USA TF.

 

[applesktrack]

Women's 400M Final - NADA ....embarrassing!!!

Our best 400m runner decided to run hurdles instead

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Spain wins gold - amazing clearance by the Spanish keeper to catch the French on a counter (think Howard vs Algeria) to score and win by 2.

Great game to watch.

 

[applesktrack]

Rai Benjamin is the 2nd best 400h of all time. Just unfortunately running at the same time as the best

 

[pele78]

The fact our 4x team can't pass a baton over a number of games now is very embarrassing for USA TF.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Are YOU “nuts” my friend lol!

France getting spanked by Spain 3-1 late

The French may actually be enjoying that.

 

[Caliknight]

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

It's clear they don't practice this at all. It can't be that hard.

 

[DJ Spanky]

ONCE AGAIN .....TEAM USA MEN'S 4 X 100 BLOW IT (bad 1st exchange will be DQ'd)....and do it as defending world champs

Ugh, my junior and senior years in HS we would have won that event at the Passaic County relays except both years the same guy f'd up the baton exchange.

 

[pele78]

Netherlands just tied China in women's field hockey. Need the Dutch to keep them off the top step

 

[AreYouNUTS]

It's clear they don't practice this at all. It can't be that hard.

It’s pretty simple: use the same four guys to practice leading into the Olympics, to run in the heats, and to run in the finals. No more switching up it ****s everything up.

 

[Caliknight]

And practice. It always looks so half assed.

 

[pele78]

Gold in women's weightlifting. Olivia Reeves , only 21 years old

 

[pele78]

Dutch beat China in a shootout in field hockey

 

[pele78]

[AreYouNUTS]

What an AMAZING 10K! Chick from Kenya wins after taking the 5K! 1st women to ever accomplish this feat! She's got the marathon to god!

 

[Caliknight]

33 gold, Benjamin!!!!!!!

New sheriff in town in the 100 hurdles. He's way better than the Viking.

 

[AreYouNUTS]
