Curry just put France to sleep, amazing stuff.
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
If they don’t then KD is wide open or Lebron or Book. Not sure what they’re expected to do .
Chef Curry will always be my GOAT. No player has revolutionised the game like he has.
Wow Steph! Legend!
Definitely in this century.
Steph Curry took that personallyWait do have USA have a full strength basketball team and still aren’t winning by a canter? Thought this was their sport
Certainly did
You've gotta respect Durant's 4 in a row, yes the previous 2 teams still had talent, but they clearly didn't take it as seriously and he led them to keep their heads in the game to gold when either could have either gone the way of 2004. Now he got another 'dream' setup to win another gold even LeBron nicking his starting/leader role.
Steph just doing Steph things.
You should spend more time in the NBA thread during the season
Please no.

Worry not. Late NBA nights left me completely shattered during uni days. Thankfully not a night owl anymore
This has perked my interest back up in Basketball and since I have TNT sports again, might start watching when the season starts.You should spend more time in the NBA thread during the season
So they've basically punished Chiles, who did nothing wrong (but got tons of abuse online), gave the bronze back to the Romanian girl who couldn't celebrate it on the podium anyway and did nothing to address the actual error which was the ridiculously low marks for the other Romanian girl who should've finished second.`
Masterfully handled.
Couldn't they have just given both bronze and be done with it? Now I feel bad for Chiles.

I have sad news for you
Reckon France will have the depth around Wemby to beat USA in 2028
Or Discovery Plus if it’s called that. Is it on a different channel now in the UK?
So China on 39 golds. USA on 38.
I know USA has a great chance in the woman’s basketball tomorrow. And also in the gold medal match vs Italy in the volleyball.
What’s on the cards for China?

I dunno, so many of those silvers this time could easily have been gold - four in athletics alone. Seeing all those near misses has been a bit psychologically draining, even if there have been one or two surprise golds too. Hopefully Emma Finucane can add one more gold tomorrow, although it’s going to be extremely tough.
I would go with GB dropping off. With both Laura and Jason Kenny retired and Matt Walls not competing, it’s going to weaken any team.
Someone said they're fancied for a women's weightlifting gold.
This is an Olympic sport ladies and gents
Fair. I don’t follow basketball at all I still thought it was USA miles clear and then the rest a level behind. But that was a good watch
Raygun rules. Only good Australian.

No, really.
No, really.
Jokic first player ever to finish the olympics with most points, rebounds and assists? Is this right?
Oh, Jrue now has as many gold medals as his wife. KD 4th gold? Could match the cuban wrassler in LA
@TheGame TNT no longer has nba rights

I think one of the plus points for Team GB, along with the fact the overall medal achievement is probably at the top end of the expected range, is that no overall programme has had a total failure so it doesn’t feel like it should be that hard to up things slightly in future. Sailing and boxing have probably had the worst outings in terms of things we’re normally good at but which haven’t gone well, and the latter is going.
None of the main programmes have had a disaster this time, unlike rowing in Tokyo where it was clear there were issues, so it’s felt like the golds being down is more fine margins/where we are in transition rather than fundamental issues.

Interesting news that the Romanian gymnast was given the bronze medal and taken away from the US after the controversy regarding the floor score
Love to see it
Was reading up on Georgia bell’s career and what an incredible story. Basically gave up on running after school & focused on education & family stuff. Last year at age 29 started to run again, became training partner with Keely hodgkinson and worked with the same coaches. Hadn’t run under 4 minutes till a few months back and now won bronze running 3 minutes 52.
What’s her story? She saw a pathway to the Olympics without needing to be talented at anything and went for it? Fair play, I guess. But it’s a bit of a piss take out of people who are serious about breakdancing as an Olympic sport. Which is kind of mean, no?
I can see why you might think that but no about the last thing you can accuse her of is not being sufficiently in to breakdancing.

This was me.. and I too was expecting the Jabawockeez
She is very serious about it. She just goes for the artistic end which is even more hit and miss apparently. Mainly miss of course.
She is a lecturer at Macguarie Uni - Dance and gender politics. Which probably isn't a surprise.
Personally it was by far the best thing about the breakdancing competition as it made me
Thank feck LA dumped it for the next time around.

Chiles came third in the event after her score of 13.666, which had initially placed her fifth, was bumped up by 0.1 following an appeal from the US coach.
But, in a bombshell ruling today, the Court of Arbitration of Sport ruled the judging panel were wrong to allow Chiles' score to be increased and said the initial finishing order should be restored.
Chiles took to Instagram to say she was removing herself from social media 'for my mental health', while her teammate Biles said: 'Sending you so much love Jordan. Keep your chin up Olympic champ! We love you!'
Elsewhere, Chiles' sister Jazmin issued a scathing response to the controversy, writing on Instagram on Saturday 'Please keep Jordan (and my family) in your prayers. Racism is real, it exists, it is alive and well.'

Another corrupt organization ruining sports.
She deserved that for not just accepting 4th
