Not a bad day for our guys.  Gold for ginny.  Not a bad performance for archery team and lost to a very superior team.  Wins in football.  Basketball.  Volleyball.  Beach volleyball.  And even hockey.  One win in rugby which could lead us to the quarters tomorrow.  

Loss in water polo

 

three medals in swimming but none are gold... which is disappointing but in a lot of events the world did catch up to us.....

 

Good performances in gymnastics that leaves hope for few medals for the men

46 golds. Let's go for 50 in Tokyo!

 

I'm going to start building my 2018 and 2020 spreadsheets tonight detailing qualifying information among other things

[AmericanHero40 213]

Well i can summarize it with one word only DOMINATION, 46 golds, 121 total, unreal

 

Swimming+Athletics+gymnastics produce most of the medals, however also some surprises , like sailing medal, like Thrasher with the first gold.

Brady Ellison finally won a medal with a much better performance then London.

 

Hard to talk about disappointments after winning so many medals but i do have to mention women's soccer, jordan burroughs in wrestling, gibb/patterson in beach volleyball, women's volleyball, though winning a medal, could've won gold and missed a huge opportunity, and off course the 400 gold that was taken from Felix on the line.

 

Yet so many breakout stars to the world that surprised a lot of people, Ryan Murphy, Lilly King, Simone Manuel, Ryan Crouser, Clayton Murphy, Matt Centrowitz, and off course Simone Biles, who is amazing for 3 years already but first appearance on an Olympic stage.

 

There's a lot more to stay, so probably later on i can write a more detailed sport by sport recap for USA

[AmericanHero40 213]

Ok Let's go sport by sport and summarize the games for USA

 

Archery - Another silver in the Team Event, and finally Brady Ellison with good performance and a Bronze, after the London Failure

 

Athletics - 32 Medals, 13 Golds. Surprising Performances from Galen Rupp, Matt Centrowitz, Clayton Murphy, Paul Chelimo, Ryan Crouser, Michelle Carter, 1-2 in Women's Long Jump, Men's Triple Jump, 1-2-3 in 100m Hurdles even without the WR holder Kendra Harrison, Even close for Few More golds with a barely miss by Sandi Morris, Chaunte Lowe and off course Allyson Felix.

 

Badminton - Performed as expected i guess

 

Basketball - as expected as well, 2 golds

 

Boxing - Gold for Clarissa Shields, Silver for Shakur Stevenson and Bronze for Nico Hernandez, and probably performance equal to expectations

 

Canoeing - Nowhere close in sprint, Finals in Slalom without real chance to medal, as expected

 

Cycling - Gold and Silver in BMX, gold for Kirstin Armstrong in time trial, Mara Abbott close to medal in the road race but ran out of steam close to the finish line, and on the track silver for sarah hammer and the girls of the team pursuit. Again pretty close to expectations, i didnt think hammer could beat trott in the omnium.

 

Diving - 2 Silvers and one bronze, David Boudia could've had a better last jump that would've given him a silver, and i hoped for few more medals from maybe Jessica Paratto or Kirstain Ipset

 

Equestrian - 1 silver and 2 bronze, not really sure if could've won more medals, didnt really follow the competition

 

Fencing - 2 Silvers and 2 Bronze - Definitely Massialas  could've won gold, Homer was more of a surprise, also the teams that won bronze disappointed a little bit because i feel like they could've contended for gold

 

Football - Big Disappointment with the loss in the quarters and the loss of what should've been an easy gold

 

Golf - one medal for Matt Kucher

 

Gymnastics - Another disappointment from the USA Men in the Team Event, but Leyva with 2 silvers and Naddour with the Bronze. On the flip side amazing performance from USA women, Simone Biles and Ally Raisman in the AA, and the vault and floor for biles, however bad beam routine from biles brings her only the bronze and Maddison Kocian winning the silver on the bronze. Overall Not bad performance with 12 Medals and 4 Golds

 

Judo - Gold for Kayla Harrison, Silver for Travis Stevens pretty much to be expected. Need to develop the sport more because the potential is there but with Kayla going after Ronda to UFC it leaves a big void

 

Rowing - Gold for Women's Eigth's, and Silver for Women's single sculls

 

Rugby - Pretty Disappointing loss for the men against argentina that prevented going through to the second round, and the women did get to the quarters but couldn't beat New Zealand

 

Swimming - 16 Golds, 33 Total , Dominating performance with Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, and Surprises by Ryan Murphy, Maya Di Rado, Lilly King, Simone Manuel

 

Sailing - one bronze in the Men's Finn, one more medal that i thought we would get here.

 

Shooting - Surprising Gold in the first day for Virginia Thrasher, but only bronze for Kim Rhode, and Corey Cogdell, and Vincent Hancock or Matt Emmons didnt even make it to the final

 

Table Tennis - As Expected

 

Taekwondo - one bronze, close to expectations

 

tennis - Serena and the williams sisters lost early, Madison Keys got to semis but couldn't win the bronze, Steve Johnson and Jack Sock did win bronze in Men's Doubles and in Mixed Doubles all american final brought gold and silver and in the end 3 medals, one of each color

 

Triathlon - Gold to Gwen Jorgensen, maybe expected but so much could've gone wrong

 

Weightlifting - Assumed there wont be any medal but Sarah Robles definitely surprised and won a bronze!

 

Volleyball - 3 bronze medals, and had a lot of potential for more, In the indoor side the women were top ranked and with brazil losing in the quarters i hoped for a gold, on the men side horrible start with losses to canada and italy, but great wins against brazil and france and then poland in the quarters gave hope, also leading 2-1 and 22-19 against italy gave hope, but loss and another bronze. On the beach side walsh/ross lost in the semis to agatha/barbara,  dallhouser/lucena lost to the gold medalists in the quarters and gibb/paterson disappointed in the first round.

 

Water Polo - Women with another gold, but men couldn't even get out of the first round, but i honestly didnt think they would, didnt really show much in a while

 

Wrestling - Bad performance for Jordan Burroughs but 2 golds for Helen Maroulis and Kyle Snyder made up for it

 

 

 

After everything, 121 medals and 46 golds, amazing overall performance, let's see what tokyo will bring
