ExpandWe updating this?
Yes, my team USA day 1 preview will be coming out tomorrow
Expand10/10 recommend Track Cycling. We have a velodrome at Cal State Dominguez (also known to football fans as the Stub Hub Center). I was lucky enough to attend a day when the World Cup came here 2 years ago. It was awesome. Obviously being in LA area it’s perks (especially now the Olympics are coming). I haven’t seen Ice Hockey or Figure Skating either. I’ve seen Cycling - Road and Track, Athletics - Diamond League, Modern Pentathlon, Special Olympics World Games - Roller Sports, Kayak, Sailing, Handball, Weightlifting - 2017 World Championships, Fencing - World Cup, and Football - Both US teams (friendlies)
Wow that is a lot. I have been to a lot of Detroit team sports though. I have seen the Tigers probably like 20 times. I have seen the Pistons 3-4 times. Red wings & Lions once each. I also went to PSG vs Roma friendly in Detroit.
Expand@bmo Have you seen any international sports in person?
No I have not. There has been many events, like the U.S. figure skating championships this past year as well as U.S. women’s ice hockey vs Canada, in Detroit, but I just haven’t had the time to go. We actually have a velodrome in Detroit and I hope to go some day.
Yes I did

Yesterday, the U.S. won in handball, softball, twice in beach volleyball, and didn’t lose a squash match. The bowlers all finished top 3. Hopefully, it stays the same today.
ExpandPlus, there’s now a good chance that ESPN will show them not only on the website (because they will already do that for all the placing games), but on TV
I would love to watch them on TV

22. All they have to do is beat Peru and we’re into the medal matches. What a historic day!

I don’t understand how people have trouble with the sky serve. I mean it’s still a volleyball. It’s not like you are hitting a rock. I know it’s easier said than done though.
