This may end up tied in gold and the favor going to US due to most overall medals

We got more chances per that chart that was posted a few pages back. All china really has left is weightlifting barring some big upsets

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Im watching women's weightlifting. These women strong as hell

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Man what sports China been racking up all these damn golds in, I swear I haven't seen like 90% of them events

I swear they purposefully went after stuff they knew we didn’t care about.

We care about gymnastics, team sports and racing events

I hope Brian Skinner's daughter comes through in the Volleyball final tomorrow

women's volleyball or women's cycling will have to come through for the US to win this Olympics
China almost locked in for 40 golds

Good looks on @cobra for posting this. It's out dated now seeing how mens bball is over and china just won their womens boxing match, but we still got a womens wrestling match against japan for gold

Curry is the fukkin GOAT. Period. Idgaf what anyone says. Curry is THAT nikka.

But, I'm trying to figure out - is this an L for Lyles? Lol. He said you can't be "world champions" until you beat the rest of the world. Team USA just became gold medalists, again, after beating the rest of the world. lol.

So, who really won here? Lyles lost, right?

 

[MenacingMonk]

skinny ass China are favorites for gold in weightlifting?

 

[Braman]

DMV is sports capital of the universe

Noah Lyles 100M gold

Kevin Durant 4 time gold medalist

Quincy Wilson, 16yr old, youngest Olympic medalist in 80 years

Masai Russell 400M hurdles gold

I’m missing a few too

Lyles didn’t lose anything he’s the 100m gold medalist.

Have been for years tbh. They are beastly there.

 

[TheDarkCloud]

I was talking about his comments regarding the NBA.

Since they just won gold medals, does that make what he said null & void? I know he won the gold in the 100m but that wasn't my point.

 

[Megadeus]

And folks said USA would have trouble

And They were right.

A team lead by Bron Steph and KD was on the ropes for two straight games and required legendary all time performances to win

But yeah total cakewalk, no challenge
