Signed,
All that DVR’ed it to watch this evening. Somebody always has to pee in the punchbowl.
GOLD!
Here’s the thing, name me one Chinese athlete who has won a medal? They win in all of the sports nobody cares about, like Badminton, Table Tennis and Shooting, all of the obscure sports, but they haven’t done anything in the major events, outside of Gymnastics, and maybe a few medals in Swimming/Diving....They’ve done nothing in Track and Field.
Somewhere in China, government officials are knock on some family members doors right now!
Silly me. I actually thought the Gold medals were made of gold. Instead they are just 1.35% gold, i.e. they are gold plated, but at the high price of gold that comes to about $350.00 / gold medal.
I can see that with the incredible number of different ‘sports’ that it would be too expensive otherwise Such as the gold medal for turkey bowling, frozen or fresh, that’s 2 gold medals right there.
No women’s basketball thread here but sure nice to see Becky Hammon lose!
The most impressive thing, is that the US has taken, or are playing for Gold in virtually every major women’s team event:
Gymnastics (Won Team Title)
Water Polo (Playing for Gold today)
Soccer(Playing for Gold today)
Basketball (Playing for the Gold medal)
Volleyball (Playing for the Gold medal)
Tennis Doubles
Won 2 out 3 Women’s swimming relays
Favored to win all women’s track relays
I think the only team sports they won’t get Gold are:
Team Handball
Field Hockey
Rowing
