🥇 Hoos in Olympics Sports

[BDragon]

USA women on to the medal round in the Olympics. The semi’s are going to be a bitch against NZ but they have a shot.

Ilona Maher going truck stick the other day was great:

And then this one was great because she got by the opponent and then slowed down a little later in the move because she wanted to give her some work with the stiff arm:

That’s a sign she’s built for this, she wants to do some violence just as much as actually scoring.

[BDragon]

Maher has been a blast to watch throughout her career. She is a punishing runner and is solid at the breakdown. But I’d say Kirshe is their best player and secret weapon.

Is being a forward in 7s more fun (compared to 15s) because you get to rumble more into open space with the ball, or less fun because you do more running overall?

[BDragon]

Depends on your preference. I always liked it because of the open space and getting to show off some ball skills. But 7s also sucks because it took away what I was really good at set pieces and the ruck

ACC is dominating the medal count early. There’s a new conference of champions.

Meanwhile Navarro lost an absolute heartbreaker, two incredibly tight first two sets before fading in the 3rd: 6-7(9-7), 7-6(7-4), 6-1

The US has its hopes pinned on Danielle Collins now. Unfortunately she’ll now have to face Swiatek (presumably), that’s a brutal draw.

USA Women take Bronze in the Olympics I’m not crying… you are

[AdventiveQuasar]

What a last try, too. Just totally destroyed the opponent trying to tackle her and then it was off to the races.

[BDragon]

That was so impressive. Both teams were gassed and led to a ton of unusual mistakes and dopped passes. The biggest part may have been that she made the conversion. you’d be amazed how often that gets botched in those situations

Highlight of the final play is up:

[BDragon]

What a finish. Still can’t get over it. Text been flying around the rugby network all evening

[Hooandtrue]

On USA network, shayok with 5 pts and South Sudan up 10-8 on team USA (started Tatum today)

[zh00s]

Dwayne Wade: “Shayok only sees the bucket.”

Amen, D. Wade.

[BDragon]

A Curry Booker backcourt got CTB feeling a certain way

[zh00s]

D. Wade: “I am a fan. Shayok can hoop, bro.”

[crossedsabres8]

I feel like Kate could’ve won the 100 free if she’d swam it

Marial is wired to score…said Tony Bennett 100x

Thankfully he broke the wiring that forced him to pass up open 3s for long 2s.
