@BDragon is the USA men’s sevens team getting a draw with France good? Or kinda meh?

Actually very good. The US is in a really rough group and France are the reigning series champ.

Need to keep it tight against fiji for a shot to get out of the group. Which was honestly a long shot.

Yea they had the big win agaisnt Uruguay. PBak is seriously one of my favorite players. I got to coach him for a couple years ans helo make the introduction for him to the national set up back in 14. He really wanted to go out on top at the Olympics.

Now the boys will play on Saturday innthe loser bracket for 5-9th. I have no idea why they do that in the Olympics

Gretchen Walsh should have two swims this afternoon — 100 fly semi and 4x100 free relay (with Kate Douglass as anchor).

And Paige Madden made the finals of the 400 free.
