Rio Olympics 2016

WOW thats a sweeping statement , so you saying that most of the medals in these sports are dirty?
I didn't say that. There are however lots of athletes barred from playing, medalists in these Olympics who have recently cheated and then you've got crooked federations like the boxing one.
 
GB women win 3-0 and go into their first ever Olympic final. Lots of bumps, bruises and cuts sustained but they're there.
 
I thought the USA basketball team was almost unbeatable?

It's still the first quarter. But it's not as good as the 08-12 teams - no LeBron, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant who are 3 of the best ever (at least in their respective positions).

Not as good but they're up by more than 20 late in the second quarter.

Duncan's retirement has hit Ginobli hard. It's all gone now
 
Playing well now but they had a big lead against France and went to sleep in their last game.
It was never that close though. In the end it was a 3-point gap but I don't think they went below 4 before Diot's final shot and were 6-8 points ahead all the time.

Australia and Serbia gave them their toughest games.

True but they should be putting these teams away and winning by double digits without a problem.

They should but I guess they find it hard to focus in the groups. They've been different class to Argentina tonight as expected and will win the whole tournament but it's kind of boring. Everyone's basically competing for silver or bronze depending on whether they get USA earlier than final or not.

Isn't Kyrie Irving Australian BTW? I'm pretty sure he was born there.

Yeah they play too much as individuals at times. I didn't realize Kyrie was born in Australia. Just looked it up. He was born in Melbourne. Grew up in New Jersey though. His parents are American. Dad played pro ball for a team in Oz.
 
19.78 and eased off again. How does he do it?
 
Gemili seems like a really nice lad, De Grasse should take Bolt's mantle when he retires.
 
So Merritt vs. Bolt with De Grasse as a joker, got a sneaky feeling Bolt can break his WR.
 
Honestly think Gatlin was spooked by Bolt's run prior, looked tense on the start line.
