    First medal for an NZ male in a field event with Kerr's gold.

    We've got the faster with Snell, Lovelock, Halberg, and Walker. Now the higher.

    Stronger: can we use Val?

        @Smudge

        Stronger = Ted Morgan's Gold (NZ's first one) in Welterweight Boxing in Amsterdam in 1928.

            Curry is just a machine at 3 pointers. Soul destroying for the French.

                Do we still have a shot at more medals or does that look like our final total?

                  France weren’t bad but their shooting percentage was too low.

                      It’s crazy that it’s even a contest

                      USA should be smashing everyone in their sleep

                            The NBA is a different game. Serbs almost rolled them with amazing shooting, brilliant team offense and defense. This team was as stacked as any for some time. Curry, KD, LeBron and all played great when it mattered

                              @canefan What was interesting in the last two games was how much game time the USA gave to their starting stars.

                              International standards are getting better. One year they will go rolled.

                                They've already been rolled before haven't they? Jason Tatum barely played along others. This was no globetrotters tour, they had to work hard to win gold
