August 14, 201610 yr I'd like to jack-slap the NBC director in charge of the camera shots during the medal ceremonies. One of the things that always made me "proud" of watching us win, was seeing the stars and stripes raised to the rafters while the national anthem was played. I think I've seen that happen three times. That's it. Now, all they do is show a token two-second close up shot of the flag...that you can't even tell it's being raised! Come on, man! :rage:
August 14, 201610 yr I know some of you swim but for those who don't...it's hard to explain how difficult it is to keep a pace like that even for a short distance. She is an absolute freak I don't even see how it's possible to muster the endurance needed to race a sprint. The distance races are even more mind blowing.
August 14, 201610 yr I don't even see how it's possible to muster the endurance needed to race a sprint. The distance races are even more mind blowing. Well just about all of them have 6-8 packs and not the kind most members on this board consume on the daily. I wonder what the average body fat % is of our USA mens swim team. Those guys use food as fuel and nothing more.
August 14, 201610 yr Now we can focus on track. Tori Bowie of the USA wins the silver in the 100. Where she grew up isn't far from where my grandmother lives in Mississippi. Very small and kinda run down town. Awesome for her! To me, nothing is more entertaining than the men's 400m in track. Can't wait till the finals tonight (Sunday).
August 14, 201610 yr USA ends the night with 24 gold 18 silver 18 bronze for a total of 60, while second place China ends the night with 13 gold 11 silver 17 bronze for a total of 41.
August 14, 201610 yr Lots of ground for either Kuchar or Watson to make up to try and get a medal. Three strokes off the medal stand for Watson before the round starts and six strokes behind the leader, Justin Rose. Rose clearly loves international competition. The guy has been rolling this week. Also has ten lifetime Ryder Cup points won in three appearances.
August 14, 201610 yr Matt Kuchar having a great day on the golf course. Up to -11 now and in bronze medal position, two strokes up on fourth place.
August 14, 201610 yr Kinda fun watching men's field hockey. In the states, I think it's just a women's sport, right? Edited August 14, 201610 yr by rockmom Spelling
August 14, 201610 yr Kuchar 7-under today now on this charge. Five birdies and an eagle. He's three strokes behind gold medal position and three strokes clear of fourth place. Just drove the green on the par four No. 15. What a day for him. Can't get over it.

Just drove the green on the par four No. 15. What a day for him. Can't get over it. I'm dialed into the golf as well....C'mon Kooch!!! Rose is a beast. Kuchar is going to need some help to medal higher than bronze, and he needs to birdie these last 2 holes. A lot of golf left to be played! Rose just found a bunker off the tee. That may help...:lol2:

Had a chance to get within two but left himself way too much coming back the other way.
