          First I ever heard of it was Tokyo.

          Never heard of it since.

          Basketball is already in the Olympics.

          This is the first time I've ever seen it.

          Odd.

            Swimming would be more interesting with doggy paddle. Marchand would still win though.

              And "3 EX 3"?

              3 BY 3 is so much easier to say?

                Really annoyed Sky isn't showing the 49er medal race at 11.15pm. We are in with a shot of gold and it's not on any of their channels. ffs.

                    I don't know if it was 3 X 3, but I remember the And1 league ages ago. It's street ball, but without the razzle dazzle

                        I'll concede it's all action.

                        And I'm only 8 mins in (not 30) and am now an expert, but I still ask "why?"

                              Must be the Men's 49er as there was huge drama at the end of the Women's 49er race

                              From Stuff.co.nz live coverage
                              There's drama at the end of the women's 49er FX medal race... with it taking an eternity for official confirmation of which crew has triumphed!

                              The medal race had a crazy finish, with the Netherlands leading the United States, then they thought they had hit the finish line and stopped sailing, only for Sweden to swoop in and win it, ahead of Italy, then the quick-recovering Netherlands, then the Kiwi crew of Jo Aleh and Molly Meech in fourth.

                              And that has amounted to the Netherlands taking gold, Sweden silver and France bronze (Aleh and Meech were out of the running for a medal going into the medal race, and finish up seventh).

                                      I found it on channel 7. It says it's the tennis but it's actually the sailing. If anyone wants to watch the McKiwis push for gold, they are starting in about 15 minutes on Sky Channel 7.
