Alex Caruso on deck!

I really wonder how Booker, Middleton and Holliday will play in Team USA if the finals will go 7 games

I saw that for Fencing it will be done every day before the competitions, and if i remember correctly wrestling is the same idea, that leaves Judo and Taekwondo, and last time Judo was 2 days before, so that would be on the 21st

Any news about the draw date for the individual sports ? Judo, fencing, boxing, table tennis , tennis, taekwando , wrestling, karate

It's by no mean a lock like Vault of Floor, i know Biles is good for 4 golds, and Beam is her weaker event among the 3. She fell on it in Rio, Doha and wouldn't surprise me if she did again, thats why i wrote a big if for the event. However she is still coming into the olympics a favorite for 5 Golds, whether or not she will achieve it or even more, time will tell, but until she's not standing on the top podium after the Beam final, she is the one to beat.

I dont think that it's such an absurd thing to suggest. Yes USA is missing booker, Holliday and Middleton but losing to Nigeria and Australia? Finishing 7th in the world cup? This is not a good team. It's no longer a team of Jordan, magic, bird that won every game by 30. And not the one of lebron, kobe and wade. This is a good group of players that im not sure can succeed as a team. Coach K was a great coach for all that ego. Is pop? It's been long time since he did anything in San Antonio, never since Duncan retired. Maybe USA are the main gold contenders. But it won't be easy and won't surprise me if there won't be a gold at all

The world caught up with USA. So many great Europeans in the NBA now. Doncic and Giannis are maybe 2 best players in the world, they are not American

who still plays in the final? booker and middleton? still no justification

It will definitely be interesting in Paris since we wont have Simone, but every year they can find someone new and still field a team to win the gold, Patterson->Liukin/Johnson->Weber/Douglas/Raisman->Biles

I guess she got injured during the national championships https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/06/06/laurie-hernandez-gymnastics-nationals-injury/

How about posts of the antiolympic activists?

Hernandez retired. She was a commentator during the trials. And will be for Tokyo as well

Ok let's talk about worlds and Olympics on the beam 2014 worlds - gold 2015 worlds - gold 2019 worlds - gold 2016 Olympics, 2018 worlds - fell of the beam, still won bronze. You can tell me with a straight face that Biles is not the number one contender for gold on the beam? That's called being a hater And btw biles won silver on the uneven bars in 2018. I can see her win 6 golds. Though I don't believe it will happen

That's based on Biles being in a whole other level then anyone else on vault, floor and beam, 23 worlds+olympic golds

I have exactly the same memory, i believe we won all 3 medals with Zagunis winning the gold, at the same time in judo an israeli judoka almost won a bronze

You know..... i dont remember..... i am actually trying to find that same information, it's been 5 years after all I do remember that i downloaded a firefox extension that gave the actual link of the stream, and then i downloaded separately the video and the audio, and the connected the 2. However just now i found a chrome extension that gave me a link right away and downloaded a stream from nbcolympics.com (7 minute video, top quality, 229 mb)

it's a serious problem with NBC, i remember beijing 2008 when they started all the feeds on nbcolympics.com, they wouldn't have feeds of the main events and even swimming which was primetime in the east, i still had to wait 3 hours for them to show it in the west. Then for vancouver even though it was the same timezone as LA, they only showed live the canada-usa hockey final and it was a big deal that it was a live coast to coast For london they already improved and allowed streaming of gymanstics, swimming, track on nbcolympics, however you had to watch live because there would be no reruns, luckily an evening in london is still a pretty good time in here. If i remember correctly Rio was the breakthrough, live primetime coast to coast, and everything fully open on nbcolympics, along with rewind and replay even during the live feed, off course the timezone was very good for us. The one thing about peacock is that if you cant start the feed on time, you should wait for it to be over and then rewatch it, you cannot rewind midstream. I just turned on the diamond league on peacock and i cannot go to the start, just have to finish watching and then rewatch the beginning

You? Lol I have a very big automated spreadsheet too lollll

I'm really hoping that they will leave stuff on peacock. After rio I found a way to save the events off nbcolympics and downloaded about 5tb of all the events. I rather avoid it this time but still have access to it at a later date

Ok but why. Is the NBC commentary team going to provide their sound later in the day and not live ? Are they even sending anyone to Tokyo or they are all broadcasting from the NBC studios

While I'm fine watching it live on NBC Olympics with the OBS commentators good to see that now there is a way to see the us feed for gymnastics and track&field live

I stopped looking at schedules, I don't even watch NBC anymore. I watch everything on NBColympics on a computer and a roku on all my tv's. Main NBC disappointed me too many times with their story first coverage

Oh cool. I dont get down there a lot since the chargers moved up but I love San Diego

Yea I know. You're in pacific timezone too, no?

I am scared about the first 5 days, i'm in mexico for a vacation, so i'll try to VPN to connect to my nbcolympics account, and just catch up when i'm back, essentailly since those streams will stay up until at least january 1st there is plenty of time to catch up on stuff
