@TradePascalSiakam another Gold I think this is the best start to the Olympics we've had ever.

 

[Ahadi]

bronze as well in softball

Japan with 10 gold medals already. A little suspicious.....

When China hosted they 100% were on some fukk shyt with those gold medals.

In 2008 (Beijing) they had 51 golds and 100 overall medals but in 2012 they only had 38 golds and 88 overall and 2016 they had 26 golds.

 

[xXMASHERXx]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You hate Team USA. I don't care


I won't be cheering for Canada in ANY event

Breh loves shooting at America any chance he gets. He's rooting for other countries because Canada can't compete with us

no difference than when vancouver hosted the winter olympics
countries invest millions and millions into their athletes when they host

 

[chineebai]

Yeah usually countries that host have an extra jolt in motivation or some shyt, they usually do better than usual. I remmeber australia had a bunch more when it was in sydney.

USA consistent whether we hosting or not.

Other countries getting that home cooking.

$$$
basically part time athletes can quit and concentrate on training full time in the years prior

Damn...starting to feel like Simone Biles "took her ball and went home." She's gonna get crushed for this if she didn't have a legitimate physical injury.

 

[ClutchVon]

Keyshawn Davis should be getting more attention from the media fr. Especially since Simone, Naomi, & Sha’Carri are all out. Dude has a good chance of bringing gold home in boxing for the first time since 2004.

 

[King Static X]

What stings even more for the USA softball team is that not only did they not get revenge against Japan (Japan beat the USA in Beijing 2008 for gold) but they will have wait until LA 2028 to win gold because softball will NOT be included at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Tough.

The last time USA softball won the gold medal was at Athens 2004.

 

[chineebai]

I wish they would include sepak takraw as an olympic sport, that shyt looks wild

 

[chineebai]

that jpn usa softball game was crazy with that double play off the wrist, that's some cartoony shyt
