It'd be worth it. Check out her bikini pics on the internet!!!

You into botox and silicon?

Really gritty effort by the USA women's volleyball team. When they pass well they can't be beat. I prefer to let Skinner and Plummer stay in and figure out their passing. The hitting takes too big of a drop off when they leave the court. And I love when Carlini comes in to set and play incredible defense.

Was a great match! Love seeing Carlini on the floor. Fun to have watched much of this team play at the college level in one game or another. Circa 2016 WI-PSU-NU games had half these players, I swear. Carlini, Washington, Hancock, Wong-Orantes, Robinson, great group.

France wins by 4 to head to Gold Medal Game.

Not a crazy shock but still surprised. Never underestimate the power of country in front of their home fans.

I'm torn. I want to see Liles get the double but I also think it would be cool to see Kung Fu Kenny win the Gold.

 

[isufbcurt]

That Botswanna guy was fast!!!

 

[CyGuy5]

Lyles got absolutely cooked. Woof

Kung Fu Kenny is always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Ugh! I thought he had it after that first 100m

He had a good start but that other guy had a good one too

Kenny's weakness had always been the start. His speed in the straight away is comparable to Lyles but always was coming from behind. Since he came off the turn even with Tobogo in the lead, I thought he was gonna pull away. But unfortunately, got beat. I think it's like his 4th silver in the 200m between World Championships and Olympics

Getting real tired of the US choking in these Olympics

Getting real tired of the US choking in these Olympics

Seems like especially in the team sports.
