Who gets the halbergs?
Carrington and Andrews with 2 golds. But surely Kerr with the high jump gold.

France needing 3 points with 3.9 s to go score but the foot was just in and it’s only 2 points. Total heartbreak.

Fantastic W basketball final
USA win 67-66 with the last shot from Gabi Williams a 2 not the 3 needed
2 massive air balls from France when they had USA ready to roll killed their chance
Why wasn't Caitlin Clark involved?

France really missed Stéphanie Curie to sink a few 3-pointers.

Five Million People.
Ten Gold Medals.
What an amazing performance by Team New Zealand.
Only 2 less Golds then Germany, and 4 Golds less the the UK

Watching the Closing ceremony.....I can still hear the strains of Steve Allen's 'Join Together' somewhere in the distance....

Pretty noticeable Fisher absent from the congrats squad when rest of team there..
@WillieTheWaiter Did you not see Fisher interviewed on TV?
It was raw. She was gasping for breath from both exertion and emotion. Said she had been to hell and back over the paste few years, thanked her supporters and apologised for letting NZ down. Then basically eulogised Dame Lisa. Said she was an inspiration, so hard working, leads the team by her example, a legend. Far from unstinting in her praise.

Congratulations to the USA on topping the medals table.
They'd need to win ten-times as many to catch us in the per capita race.
The Chinese would need 4,000!
That was a great games and not just because we did so well. The French really got behind it - crowds for the cycling road race were amazing!

Very underwhelmed with the Closing Ceremony after what has been an electric Games

Meandered in the middle but the beginning and end were decent. The LA beach looked more enticing for a dip than the Seine I must say.

With the monkey off her back, we might see Lids win some more sooner than later
@canefan I wouldn't be surprised to see her retire earlier than expected maybe even after the Womens Open.
She's always said she won't be playing golf in her 30's. She's now the youngest HOF er ever. What's thye incentive to keep on what clearly for her is an emotional roller coaster.
Doesn't seem that long ago she was a chubby little kid with Mr Magoo specs

Mrs CF said that (about the specs and chubs). Yeah she should feel free to do whatever she wants now, with her legacy assured. My take was that getting to the LPGAHoF was negatively affecting her performance, so now that she has made the cut she can continue to play if she still enjoys it. I expect her to be made Dame in the near future, she has earned the right to ride off into the sunset with the thanks of a grateful nation
