Remember the Olympics don't matter

LOL, Curacao would be mid. Those other countries you mentioned could field good to great teams. Still the USA would be far ahead of them.

Albies, Jansen, Profar, Schoop, Gregorius, Simmons.. 44-year old Andruw Jones. They'd field a respectable team

Anyone just see this guy get KO'ed in karate

Edit: They're bringing out the stretcher \

Edit 2: HE LOST FOR KICKING HIM TOO HARD. Dude won a gold medal being carried out on a stretcher

Was he supposed to do a soft kick? Confused on what he was supposed to do there.

she was a refugee and netherlands accepted her at 15

but does she even have a choice?

but does she even have a choice?

she's proud to represent netherlands, she had zero papers when she went there and was granted refugee status got her papers

I guess she owes them then

and she still probably a legend in Ethiopia

plus she gets to live the sweet life in Netherlands

No active MLB players are allowed to participate. The US would have dominated everyone otherwise.

A USA vs Dominican Republic Olympic Gold Medal Game with all-MLB players would have been dope though. Too bad, the MLB won't allow it

Japan and teh Dominican Republic have won the World Baseball Classic (which has MLB players participating)

In order for the US to beat China in gold, the US has to run the table in gold medal matches and China lose both of theirs.

Damn, if only Team USA didn't fukk up certain events (women's soccer, men's 110m hurdles, men's 4x100m, etc)

I dont know who is in charge of US Mens T&F but that person needs to be replaced. Seems to be very little organization, training, planning, etc..going on with the men.

How do you get DQ'd for that?

Was he supposed to do a soft kick? Confused on what he was supposed to do there.

I think that's what the commentators were saying. It was basically some type of "illegal force"

They also mentioned if it was taekwondo it would have been legal

People online were saying the dude who got rocked was acting because he knew the rule would go in his favor. He miraculously gained consciousness and made it off the stretcher to make it to the podium to accept his medal


Happy to see breh at least got $1 million. How much would it have been if it was gold?
