He’s having an amazing Olympic campaign. Not just his scoring but he is definitely lifting his team.
A very good game on now in the semi final between Slovenia and France. Final quarter and France up by 4 points.

You’re easily my favorite poster over the last few days. Well played.

Batummmmmmmmmmm big time block to save the game.

I think it’s finished right with the two best teams - USA v France for gold, and the next best two Slovenia and Oz for bronze.

Big night for French teams with both the men’s volleyball and basketball teams qualifying for the gold medal matches.

I havent seen any official announcements so presume ladies golf will still be contested over the full 4 rounds. They are however going off split tees today so perhaps trying to get through before some weather comes in later in the day. Surely any decision needs to be made before the first group tees off today.
Anyway, Lydia off at 11.42am NZtime along with Jessica Korda
Oh and Gaby 10.59am NZ time and paired with Brook Henderson.

Bermuda unfortunately. At 64k total pop we can't catch them. Still an amazing effort and probably more to come. A top 10 would be incredible. -
Haven't checked this but been told that if you exclude the medal extravaganza that is the swimming us and Aussie are level on medal count.
I always find it confusing that as a country where almost everyone grows up near the sea and swimming every summer and with a reasonably strong surf lifesaving tradition we don't do better in the pool.

We are smarter and concentrate on Olympic sports that allow you to sit down while winning.
