The Official 2024 Paris Summer Olympics Thread (from July 26 - August 11) - Closing Ceremony replay at 7pm EST

[MikelArteta]

all this talk about US Basketball declining and the world catching up and the countries that are really falling off never get mentioned, Spain has fallen off big time from an overall talent level from their peak era of the late 00s/mid 2010s. In the era of Rubio/Navarro/Garcia they would have never needed to recruit a Black American to the team.

argentina as well, after manu and scola that was teh end of their chapter

yup, they were still trotting old ass Scola and Delfino out there way past their primes because they didn't(and still don't) have any young talent in the pipeline

 

[MikelArteta]

Damn! The USA set a new WR in the 4x400m.

A shame Jamaica came 4th. Saddens me as a man of Jamaican descent.

just not our event and the pool us has to choose from is massive

yeah she tripped and couldn't get back.

i kind of wish olympics did like the world championships for track and the reigning gold medallist gets a auto spot

 

[BlackMajik]

I'm always nervous someone will trip like Athing Mu when they bunch up

 

[MikelArteta]

Pretty much all the top teams from the 2004-2010 fell off. Greece from 2006 would wax Giannis’ Greece. Argentina can’t even qualify for shyt anymore. Ginobli, Nocioni, Oberto, Delfino. What happened.
