    I don't understand why we suck at weight lifting.... they got a bunch of golds from weight lifting.

    Idk. I'm not convinced Chinas athletes haven't been doping again and have just found a way around getting caught. The weightlifting, the impossible swim times, etc make me suspect somethings up.

    I suppose it could be they just out trained us. Could be USA got too comfortable and lax. Our athletes take a break after the Olympics. I bet theirs don't. They just keep training for the next one.

    Spain and France were even at 3 goals a piece after FT. Spain outscores France 2-0 in ET and wins 5-3 making the Spanish Gold Medalists after recently winning the EURO championship.

    Keep in mind these are not the same teams we would see for countries in international tournaments such as the EURO's or World Cup.

    Wow. Dominican woman won 400 meter. First woman from Dominican Republic to win gold in any sport in any Olympics.
    I know you all want more medals for US but hard not to cheer for her.

    Sport climbing finals are set for men's and women's. Natalia Grossman has gotta be upset not making it, but she has been battling health stuff. Hoping Brooke can knock Janja of her pedestal. Now is the time!
