Ha...nope, no sarcasm here...we need to go to Baton Passing class (I know we have the runners...just have more trouble than we should with the batons!) (Though here it wasn't 100% our fault.)

The look on Kaul's face when he realized the bar didn't fall And the bar was still shaking after Ferranti walked off the mat...must have some glue on it.

Yep, US men's relay team...not one you can count on! Uf. (Would the hand-off with Zambia/US being in crossed positions be grounds for a DQ or a small q for USA?)

Oops, yes, my bad. I think I was accidentally looking at Weightlifting. I'll fix my comment.

was up 2 sets to 0 over . Cuba was up ~18-24 in the third, and the US came back with 5 straight points, but then Cuba did win the third. US had to come back in the fourth, but eventually pulled it out. Whew! 3-0 ! And with winning over , moves on to the Elimination Round! Next round: -, who will face winner of -

Question to anyone who sees this...I'm seeing this thread show up under 'Latest Replies' along with all the other normal (non-club) forum threads, but do others also see it there? I've never seen another club's posts in the 'Latest Replies' list on the main page (just in the righthand column with the other club tings). Just wanting to see what others saw.

Hoping to start more topics soon!

I've always been a fan of the Olympics, but it was only right before Paris that I started being turned on to the qualifications process. (I caught the OQS for Sport Climbing.) I'm looking forward to seeing who qualifies for LA28 and how. Obviously we don't have to worry about quota positions because of the host nation spots, and I wonder if that will affect who attends other competitions in the off season. I also realize that since we always have a large delegation, it is hard to keep track of all of our athletes! (There's something to be said about being a smaller nation with fewer athletes, as it's possible to more closely follow each one!) But I am looking forward to diving into new sports, seeing who our stellar athletes are, and seeing how they perform leading up to and into the games at LA28.

Here's the medal count for all the Men's Freestyle events. Of these, 6 were weight classes in Paris (IRI would have been top spot if only counting these). Federation Gold Silver Bronze Total 1.

Nice to see the German is still happy

Congrats! And Young in 9th

Photo finish!

Here's his GMM on Youtube if anyone cares to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9T0kJL3u0o

I'm new to the wrestling world, but I was pleased to see that the US made it to a couple of other GMM today. 74kg - David Carr in repechage 79kg - Levi Haines in GMM 92kg - Trent Hidlay in GMM We'll see how these shake out later! I haven't followed the sport enough to know if US is traditionally good at wrestling or not, but hopefully we'll do well!

Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin take Gold! Double gold for , and China Smash is next in the circuit!

Valencia for the gold! And the 18 year old Jax Forrest came up short in the BMM in 61kg, but still no reason to be ashamed.

I'm new to road cycling...sorry to see all this unfold! But regardless, congrats to the overall winners, though there is no podium ceremony. Gold - Jonas Vingegaard Silver - João Almeida Bronze - Tom Pidcock (And for some hometown support, had 3 inside the top 10.) Riccitello 5, Kuss 7, Jorgenson 10

Finally got to watch the end of the session, as I was at church during the 10k and the 100m races. Definitely not your usual podium for the 10k! And happy for my native South Carolinian for the Women's 100m Gold, and I know the Jamaicans are happy for their 1-2 finish in the men's side. (I wonder if Lyles and Bednarek still have beef with each other...Lyles still ahead of him.) 20 Federations with medals, including 6 Spanish-speaking ones! (I'm a Spanish teacher, so love seeing them succeed, too.)

Love that I've found this community, as I feel similarly. Love these 100m heats to see all these nations be able to put someone forth to shine, even if just for a moment.

Perez with the silver. 4-1 Go , and congrats to for the win!

Nobody else hit 7m in Paris...I like Tara's chances.

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden also from South Carolina Loving the hometown (er, state) representation!
