[Mr. Jack Napier]

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

fukk all that noise, a W is a W. They brought home gold...Mission Accomplished

Team USA comes to every tournament with different variation of players. Most of Euro teams have the same core for every tournament, meaning a good chemistry right from the beginning. USA's strength is obviously the individual talent, which is what you saw in last two games, when Kerr had no strategy and players just did their thing on their own.

That's a fact

 

[MikelArteta]

I don't ever want to hear or see Kerr ever again, respectfully

 

[The axe murderer]

Is Sydney McLaughlin the most dominant sprint post bolt era? The gap in that relay was ridiculius

yeah just like what you saw in the relay with team canada winning, the cohesiveness

She's already female Edwin Moses status. Walking legend.

 

[Kliq_Souf]

Damn they doing Jordan Chiles dirty

In her event? Yes

If not including sprint then faith Kipyegon in the 1500m

By a far margin. There is no competition. She hasn't lost since 2019 and keeps breaking her record. Her only real opponent is the 50 sec barrier. She runs the hurdles faster than some of the elites do the flat 400m.

 

[The axe murderer]

In her event? Yes

If not including sprint then faith Kipyegon in the 1500m

True. I was gonna mention a guy who is overlooked in dominance in the bolt era is david rudisha. He had half of the 20 fastest times ever in 800m

 

[Turbulent]

Canada won gold at breakdancing
