Outstanding Olympics for the USA Track & Field team!

They pulled their weight and then some in the Medal Race.

France does have a pretty cool sounding national anthem.

Decisions and not performances could cost USA the Medal Count from two southern men.

1) Not taking the split in High Jump.
2) Mondo hating America.

STFU. I hope you are kidding. The Swedes pay their gold medalist more than quadruple we do. I would gladly take 1-2 years of pay and 99.9% of others would, too.

I can’t wait for people melting over it taking a breakdancing gold to break the tie with China or something equally ridiculous
