Penn Stater Joe Kovacs wins silver in shot put.
LOL! Only 4th time ever an American has won a medal in the 10,000 meters.
Boom! 1-2 in men’s skeet. Vince Hancock with his 4th gold all time
Scottie Scheffler comes back from the dead to win gold. 62 final round while Jon Rahm imploded
For those who missed it…..like me🤷🏻♀️….ut is being replayed on USA network right now. 60k to go.
At the start if this race announcer….a long time Toure de France reporter…. said he talked to people who worked these races for over 20 yrs and never heard anything so loud.
They are not allowed to use radios in this race like Tour races do. Said it was so loud that they wouldn’t have been able to hear the radios anyway. Even talking in a closed car was difficult.
The atmosphere in all the events have been great. Been fun to watch. Anyone who likes sports should be enjoying this
Yep. Watched archery gold round this morning. Ended up tied and the tiebreaker was one shot each, 70 meters, closest to center bullseye wins. Crowd went crazy
Women’s volleyball. Poland vs Brazil. Poland down 24-28….came back to tie it at 24-24. Then the fun began. Went 11 set points, Brazil takes set 38-36!
She’s lucky Athing Mu decided to become unmotivated and then fell at trials. I think Ms. Mu is going to come back with a vengeance in LA. She’s got David Rudisha level talent
As an aside, someone at work had beach volleyball on. Didn’t catch the name, but one of the Canadian women - my lord! She’s in best booty medal contention.
Yes indeed. And she is only 5’ 6”. A normal person, woman on US side was 6’ 4”!
Cole Hocker!!!!! Can’t wait to watch that. LOL for the English live threads I’m following. None of them discussed anyone but Kerr and Ingebritsen
