thx commodore....Rhode's story is kind of Olympic story I love. Medals at 6 consecutive Olympics and Olympic medals won on five continents! not quite what I picture as an Olympic athlete....but good on her! Spoiler
damn cant believe we lost to SWEDEN.. this is the same team that got whooped by brazil 5-1 a week ago.. smh..
I'm extremely tired of seing soccer matches end in shootouts. After the 30 minutes of overtime it should be golden goal.

Not the only Egyptian who failed to understand the purpose of these games. There was a women's weightlifting coach who ran around screaming his head off when a Colombian screwed up. A real pity ------- <iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/bh8i?hd=1" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>
Unfortunate comments by Solo. You do what you have to do to win. When you're playing a team that is so significantly superior to your own, typically the best way to win is to prevent them from scoring at all costs. Playing an open game would've gotten Sweden trounced.
