What are they going to do without Lebron, Curry, & Cupcake Durant 4 year later ?
Tatum kept warming the bench

US had to muster a furious comeback to win vs. Serbia. I kinda want to see Team USA lose. :fullofwin:

Great to see different countries win medals. Pakistan won its firs track and field medal with a gold and an Olympic world record in the javelin. His buddy from India who one gold in the last Olympics came second.

Another gold medal for Canada!

De Grasse leads his teammates on the 4X100 relay team to a gold medal!

37.50 seconds. South Africa and the UK win the silver and bronze medals.

Relay team: Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake and Brendon Rodney.

De Grasse was the anchor for Team Canada. -great to see him and his team mates win the gold medal!! Andre toughed it out while battling a hamstring injury.

Awesome, that's a pretty prestigious event, the 4x100 relay.
Beating the US in this is always good! Apparently, they botched the baton handoff.

2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France
 
Awesome performance from the men’s relay team for the 4x100 final. Gold medal!!


Great team work with the smooth baton exchanges for Team Canada. A prime example of teamwork in track and field leading to great results despite the lack of success at the individual level for the Canadian men at this Olympic's running events.


De Grasse ran an excellent anchor for the team.

I watched women's breakdancing last night, and it was pretty entertaining. Especially the music.

The field was VERY uneven though. Some great bgirls but also some that you wonder how they qualified. For me Logistix from the US was the best at going WITH the music, and also had power moves and represented what was actually happening the best. But she was against most of the power move bgirls in the round robin, and that's really what the judges were rating the highest.

Ami from Japan was the next best for me, and she won the gold. The Lithuanian girl had the best power moves and she won the silver.

On the low end you had these Moroccan and Portuguese bgirls who moved great but had no power moves to show, so would get wiped in all their rounds.

Then there was the Australian who you wonder how she even qualified. She apparently holds a doctorate in this stuff and researches breakdancing. Okay but that doesn't mean you can actually dance.

That breakdancing is ridiculous to watch, thank god they're taking it out in 2028.

Grand opening, grand closing.

It's not a damn sport, considering they were going to take wrestling out a while back.

SkinnyPupp 08-10-2024 09:00 AM

I really liked it. If you like power moves, watch the men's competition

Lots of Olympic sports are basically forms of athletic dance, so I don't get the backlash

Congrats to Phil Kim! Another gold medal for Canada!!

2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France
 
Fifth straight Olympic gold medal for USA in men’s basketball.

Dream Team is just too much for France.

Steph Curry went into beast mode in the gold medal game. Eight 3 pointers for Chef Curry in the gold medal game.

Curry also made 8 three pointers in the semi final game against Serbia.

When the game was still close, USA coaches just put LeBron and Curry in pick and roll plays to open up the floor for Curry to shoot 3s.


Kudos to Anthony Davis and KD for also playing a strong game.

Curry made a big 3 from well beyond the 3 point arc in the last minute of the game. Double team from France on Curry cannot defend that shot. WOW!

Best shooter ever in basketball.
Check out these stats for Curry:

Curry’s best 3 pointer in the gold medal game:

Curry gave those French players nightmares after making his 8 three pointers haha.

The four 3s in the final minutes of the game were daggers.

Good night!

2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France
 
Mission accomplished for Tom Cruise and the Olympic closing ceremony. :thumbsup:

-always a flair for the dramatic when you have Cruise and his stunts. Hollywood haha.

That moment when that woman who kissed Cruise at 5:37 of the video is gold hahah. -definitely not staged. Cruise looked surprised at the two kisses from that lady haha.

-good singing and guitar playing from Grammy winning artist H.E.R.

Olympics in LA. 2028!
