Hey, I saw the guys team win one today! Unless I've missed a game here or there, that should put them at 1-4. Not sure what the women's team's record currently is.

I can’t even watch that stuff

Pretty much the most 'Mureca photo you'll ever see

Pretty much the most 'Mureca photo you'll ever see

Speaking of the shooting events, have we actually gotten a medal yet this year?

Been saying a lot of the Twitter talk showing us with no medals at least as of yesterday at some point, usually with comments along the lines of "for such a pro-gun country, we sure suck at this stuff". I mean, I do remember watching one night on USA, us getting a bronze in mixed doubles archery, so we at least have competence at some "aim at target and shoot" events, but it is wild that we, of all countries, can't get in the top three with the guns.

Dude jumping 30 feet in the air on the trampoline and just whiffs the trampoline and safety dude threw a big mat for him to crash onto

Crazy stuff to watch or even think

I was reading an article about the skeet shooting guy (I assume pictured), he won his fourth gold in skeet today (diff years). It is odd we aren’t better though.

Ah, cool. Figured we'd be good at that. I don't live that far from a pretty large skeet/trap facility that seems to run good business and has a lot of tournaments.

USA leaving the 19 year old in the finals of the mixed 4x400 was the most obvious ending ever.

Femke Bol was never not going to catch her. Sydney would’ve easily held on for gold.

Bol vs Sydney in 400H….race of the Olympics in my mind

Bol looked incredibly comfortable in that lap. 

Unreal men's 100M final in track.  Photo finish for 1-4.

And still 0.20 seconds slower than Usain's Bolt's world record.  That's going to stand for another 50 years.

You guys should go back and watch the end of the women’s road race (cycling). Fast forward to like 4-5km left in the race. If you have Peacock that is. I watched a Youtube clip but it didn’t do it justice.

If the shooting events took place inside of schools and the guns used were ARs, we'd definitely have more medals.

That was incredible.

This USA - Brazil M Volleyball match is awesome so far. USA came back from down 6 in set 1 to win it 26-24.

Brazil returns favor coming back from 6 down in Set 2. 1-1 now. 

Mondo with 70,000 people all cheering for him at 20’6 in the pole vault is crazy

Duplantis!!!!!

Scottie Scheffler has to get a mention. No one is surprised he won golf but to clutch a 29 on the back 9 to win it…,that’s legendary.

The pole vault finish was dope. 

I have to avoid social media all day until I get a chance to catch up on it late at night. 

The women’s 3x3 bball ended up getting bronze after the rocky start. Haley Van Lith said afterwards Kobe would have been proud of their result. I disagree. 

Big day of basketball on Tuesday. 

So far in wrestling...

GR has been a crap show, which is typical for the US, we are 0fer the Olympics in 3 wrestlers.

Women's FS we have one going for gold this afternoon, 1 in the SemiFinals and will at least wrestle for bronze, so 2 for 2 in women's wrestling.

Men's freestyle hasn't started yet.

Track and field has been great as expected. The pole vault record was insane, so much fun. The end of the women's 5k was nuts. Glad the Kenyan got her silver back after appeal. 

Big picture, I have a feeling like in Tokyo, it will come down to the last day to determine who has more golds, the US or China.

His reaction to the national anthem was great. 

Jovic's reaction to winning the golden slam was awesome too. 

Shows golf and tennis do matter as Olympic sports.

Woman soccer semi vs Germany. That save Naeher made off her foot off Germany’s final goal kick was amazing.
