USA Women Gymnastics gets it done and wins the Gold.
The amount of air SB gets on the floor is absolutely insane.

The women’s gymnastics final kinda stole the thunder from an absolutely miraculous finish by the US women in the rugby 7s bronze medal match. Australia broke a 7-7 tie by scoring with less than 90 seconds left; then, backed up against their own goal line, the American women got a breakaway full-length-of-the-field run as time expired to tie, then made the kick to win the bronze.
I love the women’s rugby. Thought I was only one watching it and not gymnastics. Maybe it’s just I am not used to that much contact in women’s sports. They let a lot more contact go in women’s basketball too, certainly more than college and I think more than WNBA also.

She broke that last tackle attempt with five seconds left! Woo hoo!

I had gymnastics on, but my wife left for an appointment and said she’d want to start from that point when she got home. I looked around at what else was on and really just lucked into the last five minutes or so.
Meh, you can pull up stuff on Peacock any time and pretty much assured they will show the gymnastics again in Prime Time if you don’t have Peacock. That rugby was thrilling and unexpected.
This is awesome!!! However, I just can’t help and imagine how awful that Australian gal that couldn’t make the tackle must feel. Got be gut wrenching for her.
Lot of Silver & Bronze for swimming this year not nearly as many Golds as in the past.
George would have been way better in our current style than what he played with at Iowa State. Just wrong system
7s is such an awesome version of this sport. Glad they added it a couple of Olympics ago.
Certainly have a lot of respect for the USA gymnasts, great to see them win gold as they are supremely talented and deserving.
That being said, the hype machine is making following them not as much fun. Parents are now starring in commercials for big Pharma?? That weird show where they announced the team.
Not hating on them, go get yours while you can, but it does make me less interested if I'm being honest.
Its giving Caitlin Clark vibes.

They will show women's gymnastics in prime time. I was tooling around the dial on Sunday night and found out my t.v. provider has the Paris Extra channels. On these two channels you get to watch the secondary sports that your local NBC affiliate doesn't air. I've seen surfing,table tennis,judo,boxing,field hockey,badminton and team handball. When wrestling starts most of it will air on those two channels.
It’s been tiring for me since Shawn Johnson. Those of us in central Iowa know the common denominator there.
That was a big security failure. The Puerto Rican Secret Service code name for George Conditt IV is "Isaiah Pineiro." George is a PR national treasure now.I must be getting old as I don't remember Isaiah Pineiro on the team . . . . .
Iowa State Has Second-Most Players on Olympic Basketball Rosters
In an interesting story from CBS Sports’ David Cobb, the Iowa State Cyclones received praise for their international recruiting approach. Cobb listed representatives from each college basketball program, which led to the Cyclones earning the No. 2 spot on the list with five different players...www.heartlandcollegesports.com
