2024 Paris Olympics

Which one of these 3 potential hall of famers for the US has the highest percentage shot available?

100% for the one who made the shot

Women’s marathon comment:

WTF? Hassan, having just run the 10k 48 hours earlier, and won 2 bronze medals on the track, not only won the marathon but, on a difficult course, set the OR?So in 2 Olympics, she has 6 medals, 3 gold, 3 bronze, in distance events (1500 bronze, 5k gold and bronze, 10k gold and bronze, marathon gold).

France seemed to know, based on their defensive strategy.

Truly Steph Curry is “Le Diable” to the French!

USA-France: One hell of a game.

USA should try making a better team. That was too close.

Adding Caitlin Clark next time around will help with the scoring.

It’s close. Still gotta go with chef Curry.

Incredible finish. I turned it on with 57 seconds left and US up by 3. Could have gone either way.

The entire second half was exciting. France had a huge run to open the 3rd, then the US answered, and it was tense from there.

My thoughts exactly. We’re big Caitlin Clark fans. Our son and his family live in Indy. They’re Fever-ish for her. :slight_smile:

Jennifer Valente has brought a lot of attention to women’s cycling by winning the tying or go-ahead gold medal in the 2 straight olympics (not counting women’s basketball since most assumed it was a given)

No summer Olympics has had a tie for the lead in gold medals before

According to the internet it appears that this is unprecedented, summer or winter

Much better than a blowout for those of us who had no horse in this race.

USA gymnastics says that they have a video that demonstrates that the appeal was filed in 47 seconds.

Paris hands the Olympic flag off to Los Angeles, video montage of the flag getting to Los Angeles to the beach where we see the Red Hot Chili Peppers who should could have retired 30 years ago and no one would know any better.

Shots of the crowd, maybe there’s 1,000 people. Yep, checks out. Probably a late-arriving crowd, most of then will be there an hour so from now and start leaving an hour before this is done.

Har.
They were more likely paid extras.
Oh, those palm trees were fake.
Also, Long Beach, not Los Angeles, which are separate cities.
Oh, recorded yesterday, too.
Not sure when the audio was recorded.

Good to know that flyover folks were duped by this, though.
