End of regulation, but with 10 minutes of stoppage time. Let's close it out.

I have no idea where this 10 minutes is coming from.

 

[RU848789]

Wow, another great save by Naeher!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Not liking how we’re looking right now…. Really needed to score on one of those breaks after the first goal.

 

[RU848789]

Gold, Jerry, gold.

 

[pele78]

Naeher made a huge save in semi final and two in final. As much as I wanted to see Murphy, she's my MVP

 

[AreYouNUTS]

GOLD!!!!

 

[RUPete]

The thing that was most impressive about that save is how she directed it. If it skips off her hand to the far post a Brazilian player is waiting to poke it in.

She played great, but Swanson is my MVP.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

What a phenomenal men’s 800 that just was!!!

 

[RUPete]

She played great, but Swanson is my MVP.

Now hopefully Dansby can focus more and get that OPS up for my Cubs. Has to be nerve wracking watching your wife in these high-pressure situations.

 

[pele78]

That was awesome - 100 m hurdles gold for Masai Russell.
37-35 China?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

WOW ANOTHER PHENOMENAL RACE!!!

GOLD WOMEN’S 110 Hurdles for Russell at the line!!! 1/100th of a second!!!

 

[pele78]

Another mens middle distance medal - Grant Fisher again - 5000 m bronze

 

[AreYouNUTS]

HOLY **** GRANT FISHER!!!!

First American male to ever double medal in the 5000 and 10,000! BRONZE coming out of nowhere in the last hundred meters as he had dropped back to about 8th after holding the rail in second, or third, the majority of the race. What a ****ing phenomenal job to get around five people and grab the bronze!!!!

US men's wrestling team had a horrific tournament. No Gold's for the first time since 1956. The women are doing great with 2 Golds and one more final to come.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Is China up on us in golds again?

 

[pele78]

Is China up on us in golds again?

37-35 China , 400 relays coming up soon

Dake earned a bronze today. Snyder lost in the semis. Women have a shot for one more gold tomorrow with Kennedy Blades who advanced to the finals.

 

[RU848789]

WOW ANOTHER PHENOMENAL RACE!!!

GOLD WOMEN’S 110 Hurdles for Russell at the line!!! 1/100th of a second!!!

One of the most exciting races of the Olympics - incredibly close finish.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

4 x 400’s on the way!!!!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

We might be stealing a gold in the men's high jump....sit tight!!! McKewen just set a personal best to take the lead!! No American has medaled since 2012!

 

[koleszar]

Dake earned a bronze today. Snyder lost in the semis. Women have a shot for one more gold tomorrow with Kennedy Blades who advanced to the finals.

One silver and 3 bronze is bad. We're historically much better than that. We took 2 Golds, 1 silver and 2 bronze in Tokyo.

Now the US women on the other hand really over preformed and seem to be getting better every year.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

One silver and 3 bronze is bad. We took 2 Golds, 1 silver and 2 bronze in Tokyo.

Wrestling def didn't do it's part re: gold medal haul.

 

[RU#1fan]

[RU#1fan]

Women's VB tomorrow morning as well.

Italy is going to be a challenge

 

[AreYouNUTS]

HIGH JUMP going to a "jump off" for Gold!!!

(delaying the relays...)

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Italy is going to be a challenge

Well it IS the Gold Medal match lol! Agree though they have to come out HOT tomorrow!

 

[pele78]

HIGH JUMP going to a "jump off" for Gold!!!

Risky move, good luck

 

[ClassOf02]

Risky move, good luck

Not sure what I would do. It would be tough to turn down certain gold, even if shared.

 

[LOU-RU85]

Risky move, good luck

I would have taken the gold and ran.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Not sure what I would do. It would be tough to turn down certain gold, even if shared.

yeah....I don't get it....but here we go lol!

 

[koleszar]

I would have taken the gold and ran.

Yeah no one remembers you shared a Gold just like in Tokyo. They just know you're a Gold medalist or two time Gold medalist.

 

[RU848789]

I would have taken the gold and ran.

Me too, but maybe that's why we're not elite athletes, lol.

 

[pele78]

They took 16 yo Wilson out of 4x400 final. He had a poor leg in semis

 

[RU848789]

Wow, what a win in the 4x400m for the US!!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

BOOOOOM!!! 4 X 400 GOLD FOR THE MEN!!!
