That's the woman cyclist from today, correct?

 

Yes.

[True blue (and gold)]

Yes.

 

Not good, but better than what I feared.

Venus and Serena are down after the first set. They've never lost a match in Olympic play when playing together.

 

They gone...Venus couldn't make a shot and her defensive positioning on many balls was questionable to say the least.

Katie Ledecky complete domination.

Katie Ledecky complete domination.

 

Absurd how much she crushed everyone and her own record. Sounds like she will in the 800m also.

 

I am ready for Phelps!

Would be really cool to see him win a few more.

They were showing the replay of that 2008 mens relay. That was incredible, I vividly remember watching that.

How about the 40-something gymnast still competing on her 70-something Olympics?

 

And---does anyone else feel like a total slug while watching these games?

Buddy and I were texting about it earlier. We happen to be at a house party when it went down. 30 crammed into a living room and all went nuts. One of my favorite "sports fan" memories.

I was watching it and just gasped. That course looked way too unsafe.

 

I didn't see the men's race yesterday but I heard it was a bloodbath basically.

 

I watched it and it was bad.

I'm seeing reports that Van Vleuten (Dutch cyclist) is in ICU with a concussion, three spinal fractures and cerebral trauma.

 

I think they estimated her speed going into that curve at 50 mph

Boooooom

[HammerTime]

GOAT! No question.

[spindoc]

GOAT! No question.

He won the thing. The other 2 just needed not to collapse.

[HammerTime]

No doubt, unreal split in those last 50M.
