    They should let the Russians compete as Russians. That would get this thing back to what it was designed to be. War.

    It's a pointless punishment. They're still given heroes welcomes when they return home so you know that Russia treats these gold medals all the same as the ones where they're allowed to compete under their colors.

    Thats a totally separate discussion from whether or not it requires skill. I can bring up dozens of examples of moves that are not seen in gymnastics.

    Just admit you're a hater and move on.

    We are definitely bringing home a lot of medals in track and swimming. The sports where the winner isn't picked by the opinions of a group of judges, who aren't always unbiased.

    How is USA Basketball looking this time around? Are we going to get crushed by the Euros?

    They won't get crushed by "a bunch of Euros". Team USA 2024 is very talented and has several seasoned veterans of international competition.

    Canada concerns me some because of their overall talent level and SGA in particular.

    France may be an underrated wild card. I have a feeling Victor is going to absolutely blow up and wreck games on both ends. He and Rudy Gobert could present a problem if Team USA can't hit from outside. However, they may not have enough perimeter talent to hang with Team USA an entire game.
