My favorite race of the Olympics was today -- did not disappoint!!

For context, Great Britain's Kerr and Norway's Ingebrigtsen were the two favorites here.  Ingebrigtsen won gold in Tokyo and him/Kerr have been talking mad shit to each other leading up to the race.  Cole Hocker has a strong last 50-100m kick so him just staying in the mix for most of the race was the goal, and he managed to do that despite Ingebrigtsen pushing an insane pace the first couple of laps.

That was well worth the watch.  Thanks!

Sounds like the Canadans did as well in the 'Lympics as I figured they would .. eh?

What're we waiting for at this point?  Lets just walk up there and take over.  Abdicate the throne of Canadia, steal the resources.

Here are the numbers for our boys:

 

Bogi:

17 points on 6-17 shooting (3-8 3pt), 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 0 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

Daniels:

0 points on 0-2 shooting (0-1 3pt), 1 rebound, 1 assist, 4 steals, 0 blocks, 2 turnovers

I don’t know what to make of Daniels. He was non-existent in offense, totally motionless, just standing on the court. He had a couple of steals when Serbia was lost in the second quarter, and that’s about it.

Loved it!  Very similar to my favorite event from the winter olympics where they do the exact same thing, but on snowboards.

 

Very happy to see the Fox girl win the gold for Australia.  Her older sister already won 2 golds last week.     I always support my fellow tribe members no matter what country they are on.

 I didn’t know it was an Olympic sport but I almost died in this event in Costa Rica in 2008.  From then on when I heard “pura vida” meant “near death”

Bogi is fired up in this Semi against the US

I knew he was on some’ when he was doing the ‘3 to the dome’ celly in Melo’s face

LeBron sees a Hawk player in the paint and goes god mode.  This is an odd feeling 

[JayBirdHawk]

US escapes to play for the gold.

Serbia played like the Hawks- not to lose.

Respect to Bogi. The guy plays his heart out every time.

[Wretch]

Some thoughts...

• I hate it for Bogi
• This ain't your daddy's international game...lol  That gap is most certainly not what it used to be.
• I'm more sold on the team game and defense than I have been in many many years.

We're gonna need him..

Grant Hill better send Steph Curry his paycheck for keeping the US in the game through 3 quarters and probably saving Hill's undeserved role in USA basketball.
