I guess the USA didn’t select their strongest basketball players to compete in the 3X3 competition but still nice (and shocking) to see them slaughtered (I don’t have any other words for it) 21-6 by the boys in Orange who are now up against Lithuania (are you watching @zzz?) in the final four in a couple of hours.

Go Dutch team! Woohoo! :star_struck:

I think it’s good for Americans to lose at basketball now and again. Keeps them humble :smile: :innocent:

I plan to watch the recaps of the track and field from yesterday when we get home from the vet. I only got to watch a little yesterday. A lot of events are going to happen today. I’m excited

These track and field events are pretty amazing to watch. They’re so focused: it’s a run, or it’s a hammer throw, or a jump, etc. I find that exciting to watch: the measure is very clear. :smile:

It’s all about the cycling right now. GB first gold, amazing sprint, WR broken four times in a row :biking_man:

:orange_heart::tangerine::orange_heart: Update. Our 3X3 :basketball: guys won a crazy overtime final by beating the hosts France. What a game! What an entourage! What a finish by Worthy de Jong! :1st_place_medal:

A photo finish. I was rooting for the man from Jamaica. I am not a fan of the over preening some do in sports…I have a hard time with where is the line in just trying to psych out your competition and how are we modeling for younger people. Perhaps it is an aging/get off my lawn thing. :wink:

I still (arguably) think the Jamaican runner should have won it :joy::joy:.

I thought the arrogance was very off-putting. GB have a similar fit running the 1500 tonight where there’s a lot of WWF style posturing in the build up… I do want the Scot (Kerr) to win tonight, but I don’t get a good feel for how he presents himself…

Incredible! What a nail-biter. That was perfect - a thrill to watch :star_struck: You watch that ball and your heart goes out to it in the air!
