    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.

    Eh, you get used to it.
     
    It's a very good sport to just have in the background while doing something else tbh. Not really a sport that requires your full attention most of the time.

    Epic Failure - I think you are spot on.  I encountered that during the Tour de France, sometimes I wouldn't turn it on on Peacock until about 5 hours into the race, and it would only go back so far.  Maxim was watching a 6+hour stream of rugby, so similar problem.  Fortunately, handball matches are only 1.5 to 2 hours.  
     
    Another thing about Peacock, which should seem obvious, and that is when the live stream ends, no matter where you are in the event, the stream stops and you get the message that replay will be posted soon.  So I've rewound the handball match, I'm at about the 45 minute point in the match, and then suddenly without warning it stops.

    These are my favourite types of medal winners. People who were favourites to win medals at different stages of their career but just never did for various reasons. 
     
    In Ireland, Sonia O’Sullivan is the all time example. 4th in 1992, sick in 1996 (when favourite for gold and reigning world champion), her silver in 2000 was such an emotional moment
