2024 Summer Olympics from Paris

the non gazillionaire USA athletes are taking advantage of free healthcare in the Olympic village cuz it's too expensive at home

What an incredible game from start to finish

Curry with 36 points on 19 shots and only 3 at the line

Not sure how USA only managed 4 offensive boards to Serbia's 9. Felt like every missed shot would get volleyballed around until a Serbian guy came down with it

It would be uncouth to say the Serbian strategy was ******ed

Maybe, but also her first jump is already ~mid stride, second and third also not ideal. Seems suboptimal

Women's Breaking judging is rigged

feel wrath Bat Signal

wow random italian chick almost won the 10k

Crazy assist by the Spanish keeper in the goal medal match against France.

figured this warholm chap would be a huge fave in the 400 hurdles, but he's an underdog turns out

400m hurdles might be the worst event

dealing with that last hurdle after going flat out for 40 seconds. **** that

I'm just catching up and still having men's 400m hurdles left, but Hassan was bronze in the 5k, just bronzed in the 10k, and is running the marathon tomorrow?

EDIT: Sorry.... 36 hours?

I mean, that's why it's impressive. No?

I think the Algerian boxer is about to box. Olympic schedule says 5 minutes from now

that was a really boring match

Triple jump was very high quality

yep. my track coach used to say it was the hardest single event and that other than decathletes, pole vault was the event you needed to be the best all around athlete for

lol at USA men's 4x1. they should win every gold every time male and female but their teamwork is rarely good enough.

the women were lucky that the brits also messed up one of their changes. albeit Sha'carri was cold blooded on the anchor leg

Hey, it's hard to pass a baton when you're jumping out of the tunnel.

Seriously, it's embarrassing.

Yeah it seems absolutely stupid, running that marathon would guarantee any mortal an injury rather than a medal and I cannot imagine it hasn't cost her quite a few seconds on 5k and 10k (but perhaps at 31 years old it is a conscious choice to transition away from the 1500)

The most shocking name i saw on the start list for me was Bekele who I feel I was watching battle Gebrselassie/Kipchoge/El Guerrouj/etc 20+ years ago

Has there ever been a female 5k, 10k, and marathon medalist in one Olympics?

She has nothing left to prove.

an epic and historic football final upcoming in an hour at Parc des Princes

- 38 year old BRA legend Marta is playing in her last international competition for her country. she has never won a WC or Olympics (including losing the gold medal matches to USA#1 in 2004 and 2008)

- the USWNT look to keep a good thing going under new manager Emma Hayes. the "Triple Espresso" front line of Smith, Rodman and Swanson (scorers of 9 of the U.S.'s 11 goals) look to impose themselves on BRA's defense

- i was hoping Hayes would swap out Albert for Rose in the starting XI. the U.S.'s midfield has been its clear weakness this tournament and Albert adds more bite and energy. well, great minds think alike as that change has been made

- U.S. defensive stalwart Naomi Girma looks to continue her dominating play. many are now calling her women football's best center-back

leggo USWNT! grab that gold

Brazilians suck so losing would be devastating

fwiw, 48 hrs ago the USWNT was -238 to win gold. right now they're -270

BRA has the midfield to spring the upset
