Murray and Evans getting dominated in all honesty.

Biles put on a goat necklace FFS
As good as she is, that’s cringey as feck

Great picture.Inspiration.
The “old guard” (Biles, Ledecky and Dressler) are saving the U.S. in this Olympics so far.
Now: Douglass wins gold.
Don’t think she cares
Why?
Being appointed the GOAT is great but is for others to put you on that pedestal, to do it yourself is cringey.
That last game in the tennis was crazy. If they pull it back from here it'll be an all time performance.
Why?
The GOAT debates themselves have gotten cringey as hell. I interpreted the necklace as “you all think what you want to think, I reckon I’ve done alright.” For that reason I loved it.
Murray and Evans are going down fighting at least. It was always a big ask against these Americans.
can Murray and Evans pull off another comeback ?
Need to break Fritzl's serve here.
Damn, Murray/Nadal dream final gone.
Nadal went out yesterday
Pretty sure everyone already has
I thought he was in prison?
That was really classy from Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz. No real celebration at all.
Women’s BMX finals tomorrow is going to be great. Shriver in with a good chance
Shriever doing really well in the BMX, dominated her group in quarters.
Well done Murray on a phenomenal career.
Yeah but that’s my point, and that’s great. It’s cringeworthy for her to declare it herself though with a necklace
I would love an individual medley in which they let people pick their own order, imagine the chaos in understanding who is actually leading
Congrats to Andy Murray on an amazing career.
Nah man, it’s pretty dang cool. It’s not like it’s up for debate. Everyone knows it. She earned the right to wear that goat.
Winning three majors and two gold medals when competing with Nadal, Djokovic and Federer is some feat.
I’d love to have a go on that bmx track. Would probably face plant coming out of the gate though.
The Davis Cup too.
Yes, great career.
He beat Djokovic in two slam finals and Federer in the Olympic final.
Ledecky 3rd swimmer in this relay.

Simone Biles is mesmerising.
Holy crap, how did I forget that! From memory he played every doubles game too. Never seen a man carry a team like that.
Ledecky with 13 medals. The most decorated American female.
She cut the lead of Australia by more than a second. Incredible!

Agree. You don’t need to do that. But there’s a clear generational split with these kinds of things and many find it cool. To each their own I suppose.
Australia getting another Olympic gold in the pool. They have so much depth
The US obsession with GOAT status is cringey and super narcissistic. But Biles doesn't come across that way at all so it is a bit of a cultural clash.
Who was that boxer who beat the Scouser a few years back, Shields? Was calling herself the GWOAT and had like 11 fights before winning that fight.
I’ve no idea who the boxer is, but I don’t think the identification of someone as the greatest of all time is an “American” obsession.
See: Messi vs Ronaldo and Nadal vs Federer vs Djokovic
We just happen to have produced 2 absurdly good swimmers and an absurdly good gymnast
My distaste from it comes from being a huge basketball fan and literally every discussion in forums and the like turning into "MJ v Lebron" "Give me your top 10" which then bled into football with the hideously tedious Ronaldo v Messi debates.
Of course discussing who the best ever is has always been a part of sports debate but in recent years it has becomes a worldwide obssession and I, quite possibly irrationally, blame US sports fandom/media for it.
This is wild
If you wanted to hate on basketball fandom you shoulda just said so! I’m all in on that!

Exactly
Thought he got released
Well done to him for making the Olympics at his age.
