I mean sure if the men get the handoffs clean.


It’s been a problem for 2 and a half decades including the current games…..at this point we just have to assume the handoffs will be piss poor.

There's literally no reason for it, though, is there? You know you are literally going to have to do it three times each race. It should be as natural to them as... well... running, shouldn't it?

Order changed with Lyles being out and threw off bedneraks timing. Still on staff/the team for not having contingency plans in place and practicing.

Yeah that’s what Carl Lewis was mad about. He felt Lyles’s replacement should have been put in his spot without changing the entire order.

f course the last 3 of China's events on that list are BS events. I would beat anything that China realizes they are an unathletic group, so purposefully train as hard as they can in the BS events like p

And? Are there some rules of these events that the US is unaware of that China knows?

What’s stopping US from training just as hard?

China is taking platform diving and ping pong this morning. Save us track and basketball!

Makes sense to me and I don't really follow the sport.

very possible we end up tied for Gold...

either way, overall, we did fine... could have done better in the pool, but we performed above expected in other events, so overall good job... work to be done, but still proud of what they accomplished

Would love to see an updated list of what's left for USA and China to gold medal in. Hopefully basketball sweeps.

Both teams have to beat the host country in a raucous arena. Definitely no guarantee.

I’ll be pissed again that Mondo jumps for Sweden, and honestly our biggest competition in W 100m H was born in the US. Her mom is PR, her dad is American. She’s been doing the same thing as Mondo for a while but on top f that, PRs are US Citizens. that’s not a country.

Serbia has the best player on the planet and we played like shite and still won

that being said, we can’t frick around against France in Paris.

they should have been limited in group play by losing to Japan but got huuuuuge home court whistle.

down 37-34 at the moment in gold medals. The only 3 events I am 100% aware of is
1) MBB USA v France gold medal match coming up soon.
2) WVB USA v Italy gold medal match where our girls are the underdog tomorrow morning
3) WBB USA v France gold medal match tomorrow morning

There are more I am not aware of, feel free to add.
