Can't believe she didn't even win the Gold medal for this:


Funny, you don't see the move anymore where the gymnast swings from the high bar and lets the lower bar hit her abs then rebound like at 00:12. I wonder why that is?

It's wild to me Canada is out of basketball again without a medal. They've been #2 in talent for quite a while with no hardware to show. Ejim was practically the only guy on the team not active NBA.
They seemed to have the problem previous U.S. teams have had. They assembled a team based on name and talent rather than fit.

It’s crazy how some prominent NBAers’ games aren’t translating to FIBA. Murray was awful, Curry has really struggled. Rudy Gobert is unplayable.

Artistic swimming used to be synchronized swimming I think is really kind of amazing, to be able to swim and throw someone out of the water boggles my mind, and to stay under water as long as they do.

They need to put McCaffrey on the coaching staff to investigate how the difference in balls affects their game. He’s down such a wonderful job at Iowa to get them to adjust to different ball brands that I’m sure he can fix Steph’s game too.

Just once I want to see some runner cross the finish line, totally gassed, and just blow chunks.
I was thinking the same thing last night! They are so well trained most of them barely look like they are breathing hard.
