    Surprised Noah only ran a 19.7 - he was much faster at the trials, he did not look well.

    Looks like China will win the gold medal count after all and prove themselves as the dominant world super-power.

    FWIW They just reported Noah had COVID - well, that explains it.

    On the bright side, it's probably a COVID world record at 200m.

    Grant Holloway - Gold
    Sydney - Gold
    Davis-Woodhull - Gold

    Other than Noah with the COVD collapse it was a pretty good night on the track for team USA

    We must not want gold very badly in basketball.

    It's crazy. The US should never be in a battle in basketball.

    • NBA players are the best in the world.
    • The USA is almost all NBA players
    • They are also the best of all the NBA players.
    • While other teams have some NBA players, they are seldom the stars of their teams.
    • Serbs are the closest, but nowhere near the quality of depth as the USA.
    Craziness, but it makes it fun to watch.

    It was an entertaining game. I have rooted against USA once when Yao was playing for China. But I am glad USA won here. They just need to play that way for 40 minutes from now on. with Focus. and bring it home.

    Glad the mighty USA pulled it out, but damn that was a close one. USA USA USA USA! (for basketball). Don't really care much about the other portions of the Olympics.

    Unlike the US, the other teams play together for Years. The US is like an all-star team put together hoping for cohesion.
