    If I was a betting man, I would have put my money on Kipyegon.

    Yep. Kipyegon has always had that burst. Amazing 1500m runner. In Rio with 200 to go she was neck a neck with another runner and she found another gear and won it easy.

      I'm happy that Allyson Felix got herself a bronze in the 400 m final but Shaunae Miller-Uibo was in a class of her own. It helps to be so tall.

      She’s really impressive to watch.

      Especially when she stays upright and is not diving…. 😉

          Penalty shootout to decide the women’s football gold medal.

          First ever time in a women’s gold medal match.

          I almost feel sick for these girls!

                Bjorn for Sweden for their second and it’s a nice goal.

                  Swedish keeper saves the second Canadian one.

                            Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.

                                They could run out of kickers. Has that happened before?

                                  Cool as a cool thing. Canada nails the pressure 5th penalty to tie it.

                                    The pressure is getting to these girls big time.

                                    Canadian keeper saves another.

                                    Now Canada can win the gold here.
