August 3, 20214 yr Let’s go Allyson! That would be incredible if she can pull this off. Two minutes until her race Crushed it

August 3, 20214 yr 87% humidity. And running. Doesn’t sound fun to me.High humidity is beneficial to the short sprints. Can’t remember the science behind it but it’s definitely a thing. I don’t know if it would apply to the 400 but it is definitely favored for the 100/200.
August 3, 20214 yr Women's long jump final featuring Tara Davis is starting live on CNBC. They'll be bouncing back and forth between the jumps and heats on the track I believe. Or you can wait and see probably two or three jumps total on NBC primetime tomorrow night.
August 3, 20214 yr NBC just tried to squeeze in a 15 second ad during a short review and completely missed the match point in the third set between SUI/Brazil in beach volleyball. Well done, guys.
August 3, 20214 yr It's a shame about van Niekirk. He tore up his knee playing rugby and didn't even make the final of the 400. His WR run was one of the highlights of the Rio games for me. Edited August 3, 20214 yr by WBT

I'd guess at least 20% of the athletes every 4 years weren't even born in the country they are representing. Who cares. I care, at least somewhat. Countries like Qatar make a mockery of the whole thing.

August 3, 20214 yr I really don't care for Laura Ludwig's "defensive kills" (Germany, Beach Volleyball). Yeah, it's legal, and it's effective, but it's still shitty. Glad they lost, & not just because they were playing the US.
August 3, 20214 yr Did Tara start a ~thing~ with the clapping going before they run? I didn't see anyone do it until she did and now they all are. If so, I like it 🤘
August 3, 20214 yr If you watch on the NBC Olympics app for Apple TV or Roku, you can watch the individual event feeds with no commentary or the main track feed with British announcers who I assume aren’t on the NBC feed. There’s no cutting away to other sports, interviews and bullshit.

August 3, 20214 yr If you haven’t watched Snoop and Kevin Hart do commentary, it’s actually pretty funny (take an edible first).
August 3, 20214 yr Tara Davis finished in 6th place in the long jump. Great showing for her. Edited August 3, 20214 yr by perfectchaos007

August 3, 20214 yr Benjamin came VERY close to faulting. he barely touched the last hurdle in the OTHER lane, and was about 2 inches from crossing the lane line.
August 3, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, Pancho said: The crazy part is Benjamin set an American record 😮 he literally beat the former WR by more than a half second.... and still lost by more than 2/10s damn that Norweigan was flying.
August 3, 20214 yr I think that has been the coolest moment of the Olympics for me so far. Holy shit that was fast.
August 3, 20214 yr That 400m hurdles was fast af. 45.94 is fucking fast without hurdles.... That would be top 20 NCAA 400m. Norwegians have an extra tendon or something...
August 3, 20214 yr Sucks to see us have to settle for silver, but that was great race against an absolute specimen of an opponent. Hope to see the ladies crush the field in the 400 hurdles.
August 3, 20214 yr We tuned in right as the 400m hurdles was about to start. What a race. Absolutely shattered the WR. Hope the women’s matchup between McLaughlin and Muhammad can match it. Edited August 3, 20214 yr by Jive Turkey

August 3, 20214 yr USA v. Spain is tied 43-43 at halftime. Hopefully the US kicks it into gear in the second half....our rebounding is atrocious
August 3, 20214 yr Tara Davis looked great in the LJ finals. Can't wait to see her compete again in 2024. Edited August 3, 20214 yr by SA-KC_Horn Free NowThis
August 3, 20214 yr Rubio played almost the best game of his life yet USA def. Spain by double digits. 🏀 sure looks like team USA has found their identity Edited August 3, 20214 yr by perfectchaos007
August 3, 20214 yr @perfectchaos007 could have joined us in the basketball thread. This was my pregame prediction. Not far off. (Durant went 29/2/4 - final was USA 95 - 81 Spain) Edited August 3, 20214 yr by ztejas
August 3, 20214 yr Spoiler Gabby Thomas with bronze in 200M. The Jamaican woman who won the 100M and both 100M and 200M last Olympics did it again. Strong effort, Longhorn!
