Olympic Sports OT: Official 2024 Summer Olympics Thread (with LIVE UPDATES)

It is bizarre how little time Tatum got during the games considering he is first team all NBA.

I just saw the highlights of Curry down the stretch. Best shooter ever, agreed.

 

[Scarlet4Shore]

Grant Fisher in the 5000M reminds me of Jorge Posada.

I have to admit, I didn’t think he was going to drain that last one. Shouldn’t have been concerned when a guy like that is in a zone. Hand the ball off to him and get out of the way.

Remarkable performance by Curry down the stretch of a championship final.
One to remember.

Great meet! US men may have had one of their best Olympics ever

… and should’ve had two more goals at least.

This is ridiculous. Why I hate sports with judges

I like the sports, just hate the judges sometimes...

Italy women’s volleyball is dominant - very one sided vs US in the gold metal game.

Edit: Swept in straight sets. Wow - only lost 1 set all tournament.

Has there ever been a volleyball team (men’s or women’s) that dominating?

 

[pele78]

Need women's basketball gold to tie China with 40

 

[Section124]

US basketball is just horrible to watch. Just sloppy play on both the men's and women's teams. Thank god the men had Curry. Looks like Clark was needed for this game.

 

[koleszar]

Our very own Rutgers homegrown Sebastian Riviera won a bronze medal today for Puerto Rico.

Couldn't disagree more. They were a bit sloppy against France but "horrible to watch" is way off IMO.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I’ll say it:

Women’s Hoops is awful to watch. 100% pure AWFUL. I use to go to a lot of RU games while in school but that’s because I’m a crazy sports fan. This crap isn’t watchable.

Now THAT being said …12 TO’s already mid-2nd quarter is embarrassing and nobody on this team can hit a shot from the perimeter??!! 2 words: Caitlin Clark.

 

[Section124]

12 TO's already. No fundamentals. France just hanging around.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Couldn't disagree more. They were a bit sloppy against France but "horrible to watch" is way off IMO.

Are you high?

 

[Section124]

Are you watching? 12 turnovers already. Can't hit a shot. Just street ball.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Street ball is better. This is putrid.

I think RUSNP was talking about the men. The women are playing really badly right now. France is playing the Angel Reese strategy - throw shit up and rebound

Yup. Didn't realize the women were playing now but by the sound of it probably a good thing I'm not watching.

 

[NY AGENTMAN]

If this is what the WNBA is teaching you can have it! All 1v1 and no ball movement and stink from outside.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Missed this earlier:

GOLD for USA Jennifer Valiente Indoor Cycling Women’s Omnium!!!

(Makes up for loss in wrestling final earlier)

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Down 8….and no Caitlin Clark to bring the team back…BIG trouble.

 

[mdk01]

SLOPPY!!

And I see no Curry to save them.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

HEY GUYS ….after 2 weeks….SUPER PSCHO STALKER has finally made his “mark” in this thread!!!!

 

[Section124]

I saw that. What a loser.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I saw that. What a loser.

So predictable too; I knew he would wait until today or tomorrow.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Way way WAY too many missed layups. Looks like RU the past 5 years or so lol!

 

[koleszar]

These are supposed to be our best professional players. My God, I'd hate to see what the rest of that league looks like. I seriously thought our best were better than this.

 

[SirPerceval]

If this is still a one or two possession game with a minute left it will be decided by the refs for sure.

 

[rubaseball78]

Stewart with a disappearing act all game.

This country has been duped into thinking the product is good. It’s not.

I’m not a “blame the refs” guy BUT we’ve been squeezed this half. No question.

 

[ClassOf02]

RU’s own Kahleah Copper playing a key role in this comeback…..

 

[hoquat63]

RU Cooper has been hero second half

 

[SirPerceval]

RU Cooper has been hero second half

She's the only one capable of making a layup

 

[NY AGENTMAN]

France put up a great fight maybe should have won the game. Well win is a win

 

[AreYouNUTS]

GOLD!!!! Team USA!

61-STRAIGHT WINS in Olympic play!!!

 

[RUPete]

This country has been duped into thinking the product is good. It’s not.

This was a very poorly played game, but you’re overreacting to one performance. How has the nation been “duped” into anything?
