Oh, sorry. I'm not watching because Olympic basketball is so boring and everyone knows the US always blows everyone out on the way to gold.

Tuned in at the end of the 3rd. Refs have been pretty terrible from what I’ve seen.

need to play better defense vs Victoria Wembanyama and Nikki Batum.

8/11/2024 11:07:28 AM

^^Must have borrowed some of the refs from NC State games!

8/11/2024 11:07:41 AM

Wow, what a finish. Game of inches.

8/11/2024 11:23:12 AM

Got 'em!

Suck on that, China!

Also a little odd that medals for global team sports are given equal weight to some obscure rifle or equestrian discipline, but whatever.

I disagree. They were consistent in letting a lot of contact occur but they weren't making calls in favor of one team or the other. That's really all you can ask.

I feel bad for RayGunn, I hope she's okay. But how does that happen?

8/12/2024 10:20:19 AM

I'm gonna miss my daily Olympics Sports Tapas.

8/12/2024 4:04:49 PM

^^What happened to her, and why do you feel bad?

8/12/2024 7:08:25 PM

She became a meme in a bad way.

Her Australian PhD in breakdancing is probably equivalent to a Japanese associate degree in breakdancing.

8/12/2024 8:20:05 PM

Was that a serious attempt she was doing? I thought it was a joke.

8/12/2024 8:52:20 PM

She epitomized the difference between doing something in theory versus in practice. Classic academic attempting to do something in the real world.

8/13/2024 1:44:38 AM

She literally trolled the whole world. I wouldn't feel bad for her, that's one hell of an accomplishment.

8/13/2024 8:30:39 AM

Trolling requires intent, right? Did she "literally" intend to troll the whole world?

I watched some of the men's finals last night. I wanted to enjoy it, but I found it all pretty silly and fast-forwarded through most of it.

USA!!1

She literally did not. I don't think you know what trolling means.
