Are we sure Trump knows the difference between India and Indonesia? That could be quite funny indeed.

Scott is currently U.S. Senator, was Governor until 2019.

Counting also the Czechoslovak era this was the 9th medal won by a slovak athlete ever
 
So, yeah, quite a historic achievemnt for us. So proud of Emma, she really deserved this after her season and all what she had to come over last 2 years due injuries
 
 

Both Strachan and Long have a small q.

I think we just watched the 'real' World Record(s).....
 

Hard to admit but i Heard those words from my university profesors few times heh. And i was not an athlete lol

Ato went on to say, hey this isn't some local meet in your back yard.

On US TV, Ato Bolden says it's the thing that gives coaches lots of gray hairs.

Two passings of note in North America.  
 
Dave Johnson, age 82, baseball, longtime 2nd baseman for Baltimore Orioles and later Atlanta Braves, World Series champion in as a player in 1966 and 1970, then as a manager he won World Series with New York Mets in 1986. He later managed the US Olympic baseball squad that won the bronze medal at 2008 Olympics.
 
Ken Dryden, age 78, goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens throughout the 1970s and was on 6 Stanley Cup winning teams.  He also played for Team Canada in the 1960s and 1970s, but he didn't get to the Olympics with the Canadian team in 1968.  Was also goaltender for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series, and then later in life he was a MP in Canada's House of Commons.  
 
 

The late afternoon/early evening start times for athletics and swimming is to accommodate USA
East Coast prime time.  They don't want those events starting at 11:00/midnight in New York. It was the same way in 1984. 

one of our beloved and awaited Olympic tradition

I'm late to the thread and maybe someone else said this, but the minute I saw this, my reaction was Great, a second relay for men to muff the baton exchange.

George Foreman, 1968 gold medalist and later heavyweight champion of the world has died at age 76.

They are showing on US TV how Shamir Little lined up at the wrong spot on the track, at the end of the zone, suddenly realized it, and got back into the zone in time for the exchange.  Shades of 2021.   

The women's team pursuit with those 2 and Chloe Dygert wining a gold medal finally was a top one for me.  A few others:  the women's team foil, the mixed medley relay. and the 4th qtr of the USA-Serbia basketball semi.  

Allman 68.76 after a sector foul on first throw.
