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

Hence their collective wage bill

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

The Norwegian guy who won the 5000 after missing out on the medals in his specialist 1500 ran the 5000 for the first time at an Olympic games! Amazing

Well. He is the reigning 5000m world champ. If not last 2 world champs. Not that amazing.
Where they followed exact same path as this one. If understood commentators correctly. He fluffed his 1500s but won 5000s in slowish tactical races.

The modern pentathlon is more impressive than I thought.
- The whole event takes less than 2 hours long
- Each athlete brings a horse but the horses are chosen at random. The rider and horse have 20 minutes to get familiarised
- Fencing is a knockout last man standing deal
- 200m swim
- Final event is a run and laser target shoot

Not that awesome to sit through the whole thing, I just watched 10 minutes of highlights...
