* - Estimated

Note: Tennis will announce order of play night before

Let me know if I missed anything! I'm going to try to do this a few days in advance, just in case life happens.

 

Quick Preview - in

*Archery USA won silver in London but Individually we had disappointing performances, Brady Ellison is looking good and maybe we can get a first medal here.

 

*Gymnastics - USA will be in the team finals, but questions about the All Around Final and Individual Apparatus, i think Sam Mikulak should make it to the AA Final, Leyva to Horizontal Final, Nddour to the Pommel Horse and Probably Mikulak to one or 2 other finals.

 

* Team Sports - Basketball,Volleyball,Football should be won easily, Water Polo not so much since croatia destroyed usa 4 years ago, Hockey can go either way though i think argentina. Rugby Sevens i don't know enough about but maybe win against colombia?  Beach Volleyball - Walsh/Ross should win but Gibb/Paterson could face issues against Qatar

 

* Fencing - we'll know the draw tomorrow but it's the Hurley sisters and Katherine Holmes, don't think it will be one of our strong fencing lineups but in fencing anything can happen

 

* Table Tennis - maybe a win but they wont go far

 

* Shooting - Virginia Thrasher and Sarah Scherer in 10m Air Rifle and Will Brown and Jay Shi in 10m Air Pistol - Probably no medal, but shooting also very unexpected

 

* Swimming - Medal in 4x100 Relay Women is probable but gold is hard, 400IM men is Chase Kalisz and for women the newcomer Maya Dirado , both medal hopefuls in my opinion, Men 400 Free - Connor Jaeger can Medal

 

Not really bringing up rowing since it's still heats and losers go to repechage anyway

[wpwells 3]

The women win 2-0!

Great showing by the Men's Archery team today! Second place in the ranking round.

 

Buuuuut....individually they are all in the same 1/8th of the bracket. So only one American, at most, will make the QFs.

Let hope for them to even make it there.  Individually london was a disappointment but Brady finished much lower after the ranking round

This already looks better than London. Moreso than just standing, Brady shot 676 in London, 690 in Rio.

This is awesome! Waiting on the women's ranking round. Go Mackenzie!

[pjwasz 16]

Mackenzie placed 19th. She's set up for a R16 matchup with Ki Bo-Bae.
