Ugh I thought we were over this Mondo shite...

I think it's interesting how Winter games power Norway has started having respectable showings at the Summer games. Definitely impressive for a country of their size.

China’s Li is working the Panamanian, so I think we’ll need all 4 of W basketball, M basketball, Blades wrestling, and W volleyball.

current gold medal count is 39 for China, 37 for US so need both golds in basketball.

the betting odds keep decreasing for W volleyball against Italy. To beat China outright it may come down to that wrestling match tomorrow.

China just picked up a women’s boxing gold. Can anyone say how many more they should pick up. It’s going to be tight.

In what?

We’ve got one more for sure. And a chance at 3 I believe.

They have one weightlifting

US has women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, and a wrestler.

I don’t think anyone knows for sure how many China has left. Shitty little events seem to never end. We seem to have a possibility of about 3 or 4 more.

Yes
Right now it is
China 39
USA 38

Tomorrow:
China Very likely to win W Weightlifting +81kg and that is all they have left so will finish with 40 unless a huge upset happens.

USA very likely to win W Basketball and probably W Wrestling 76kg.
USA also has Cycling and W Volleyball with a chance for gold, I don't think either is favored, but both have a real shot at winning.

If all goes to script, both China and USA finish with 40 gold medals, but USA finishes ahead because we demolished them in silver medals.

Yeah, they’re almost certain to finish at 40.

We have more opportunities, but they’re nowhere near as certain. Women’s basketball is a strong favorite, but others are either slight favorites or underdogs.

Currently up by one but they apparently have a sure gold in weightlifting and who knows what else. It looks like we’ll need 2 out of 3 or even possibly 3 of 3 out of volleyball, w basketball, and wrestling.

Looks like Women's volleyball could be the tiebreaker for the USA.

The high jumper not sharing gold was very unfortunate. In Tokyo, same thing happened between Qatar and Italy guys. They both decided to take gold and were ecstatic. Two olympic champs hugging each other and then celebrating like crazy.

it was a big enough deal that we actually remember it 4 years later.

We need women’s volleyball and Basketball to TCB and it’s a tie.

Katie Moon and the Aussie chick who won gold this year in pole vault shared it at the Worlds last year....at Moon's offering (who was the current Olympic champ)....the Aussie jumped at the chance and was ecstatic as both were exhausted, and the Aussie had already vaulted as high as she had ever vaulted. Sometimes a mans got to know his limitations.
