Shame Federer couldn't compete, this would've been his last best chance for a Gold. | ||

The way things are going right now if you lose the first two rounds, you've then gotta knock the other guy out in the third. I also haven't seen any knockouts yet. Winning a round by 2 points only happens if 1) your opponent gets penalized (e.g. low blows) or 2) you knock your opponent to the ground. The standard is for the scoring to be 10-9 if neither of those things happen. | ||

if the arguable second or so best team in the world can't crack within 40 points of the number one its going to be real ugly. gasol brothers were the only thing competative against the usa and now that they're old/injured nothings stopping the march until china catches up. | ||

That was women basketball score (103-63). Spain played against Croatia last night and lost 72-70. New generation of players is coming along nicely in Croatia. (Hezonja was 5th draft pick last year, this year we had Bender as 4th, Šarić was 12th 3 years ago, and he is coming to Philly this year). In a couple of years we might start wining medals again. | ||

the olympics are primarily a giant drugged up scam and the IOC are a bunch of grifters. at this point i'm hoping for no golds. | ||

China needs home-grown junior/youth leagues of the same scale like what America has if they want to be competitive in basketball | ||

Maybe in a while it might turn into something with all their cities being unable to have the grass for other sports and only the black top basketball parks being the thing for their poor people. I wonder if anyones ever done a study on the backgrounds of pro atheletes in america and their parents finacial status. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them are poor city kids. | ||

If I showed up wanting to play some American football, and they instead wanted to play rugby, I wouldn't complain. Been watching quite a bit of rugby until other Olympic events/NFL off season games begin catching my eye. | ||
