That was a dominant win for a 200m sprint. Wow.

 

[HFCS]

Knock on wood but Brazil mbb really doesn't look as dangerous as some of their previous teams.

 

[3TrueFans]

Gabby Thomas seems like kind of an amazing person, very cool for her.

 

[cykadelic2]

Talk about an All-American gal, Gabby T has it all. Gold Medalist, Harvard grad, UT MBA and damn nice looking.

Amit Elor with a gold for USA in wrestling (WFS 68kg).

Sarah Hildebrand is in the finals at 50kg tomorrow.

 

[HFCS]

The putback dunk by Anthony Davis was insaaaaaaaane.

Amit Elor with a gold for USA in wrestling (WFS 68kg).

Sarah Hildebrand is in the finals at 50kg tomorrow.

Elor wasn't even challenged until today. Kind of an under the radar athlete who should have been a bigger media sensation I think.

It's getting cheeky in women's water polo US vs Hungary.

That Men's 1500 WOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW

New record and gold for the way underdog American Hocker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable! I am of an age where it was rare to see any US athletes in track distance finals in the Olympics let alone 3. Hocker's final push, he just wasn't going to be denied. Nuguse with an incredible close as well. Another meter and he would have had silver. Stunned.

Watching children’s skateboarding can’t believe there is no age limit.

I love the Olympics. It's really nice to watch sports that you normally don't watch and athletes from all over the world you know nothing about just giving their all to win a medal.

Edwin Kurgat (Kenya/ISU) finishes 5th in his heat of the 5,000, successfully avoiding two different sets of falls on the final lap.

He will advance to the final, scheduled for Saturday at 12:50 p.m. CT.

Anybody else watching Men's Team Handball between France and Germany at this early hour? Germany ties it up to send it to extra time on a last-second France turnover and goal for Germany. Team Handball is pretty damn fun to watch.

Ugh, looks like US mens volleyball may blow the game lead they had to Poland.

Ugh, looks like US mens volleyball may blow the game lead they had to Poland.

We really blew that. Poland hasn't been this excited since 1945.
