so despite having almost 100 athletes banned from the Games team Russia still grabs 56 medals with 19 golds. Now imagine if IOC would actually follow WADA's advice and ban the whole team from participating, that would have been just stupid.

Congrats Denmark, the best team won today. Very good and complete team, with great heavy-hitters, expert work from the circle runner and clever wingers.

Holy drama. In wrestling, the Mongolian wrestler had the match won and started celebrating/cheering in the final seconds. This was then penalized by the judges, awarding the medal to his opponent. The reaction of the outraged mongolian coaches is legendary. The croud also starts chanting Mongolia in support lol

The Danish players that have left comments so far have all stated that this was a near-perfect game from them. Really speaks to the credit of the French team what it took to beat them.

We don't have a deep bench but we have a small chance if everything goes right

In play odds are like 1:8

This US team is a bit worse than in the past couple games.

USA shooting poorly. Also I guess we should expect the number of fouls to continue. They said USA shot a shitload of free throws in the first meeting and Serbia is #2 in fouls to slow down the game

Trailing by 4 after the first quarter. We had some shots that should have gone in but then again so did the Americans

I would have preferred to see France win, but it's not like we got robbed of victory... It was a textbook example of one team playing very well, but lacking this "killer sense" that allows it to overcome an opponent that's playing near-perfectly.

looks like japan did better than 2012 due to the upcoming 2020, and france did a bit worst than 2012

i'm quite impressed by GB, they still reap the rewards of their 2012 preparation
