Favorite Summer Olympic sports?

[Woodson]

Caught some of the trampoline competition this morning. This guy was ok, didn’t see if he took the gold

Giffey on the tube right now playing for Germany

I’m rooting for Giffey to win gold if he doesn’t win then the US.

I always have a personal connection to watch wrestling, to the general fan it is a boring sport.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Every 4 years I like watching the cycling in the Velodrome. It looks cool.

I like it except for the gamesmanship of going real slow until the end.

Ought to be a rule of minimum speed per lap or you get DQ'd.

It's those damn analytics.

Gotta wonder if he keeps saying his name out loud as he bounces off the trampoline.

I will say this. Velodrome is the coolest name for a sports arena/field/court, etc.

Handball is awesome.

Handball and water polo are so savage. Like there’s refs but these people are just straight murdering each other. I have no clue how it’s officiated

Track and field, swimming.

Watched the men's volleyball this morning. They got rekt. My wife used to play with Misty May in Hawaii. She knew our libero. He got abused, even though he's supposed to be the best libero in the world. Wished for a better effort, but interesting to watch and cheer on regardless.

Rugby 7s didn't disappoint, men's or women's. High jump final was really great feel good moment of the Olympics so far for me

 

[uconnfan68]

Bobby Finke. Wow what a last lap.

Twice.

 

[Chin Diesel]

MyKalya Skinner's agent is very happy right now. She is going to get a lot of run off of a single silver medal.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Twice.

Both those last laps were straight up 'nother gear level swimming. He did great in the team medley too on his butterfly lap after the breast stroke swimmer gave up the lead from the back stroke first leg.

Far too many service errors as well. I don't know too much about the libero except that he wears a different color shirt and can't block. How was he outplayed?

He was aced a bunch early on that dug them too deep a hole. They had his number and he was choking. The wife says once you get aced once or twice, it becomes very psychological. Like a pitcher giving up back to back homeruns. He started playing much better the third game, but like you said, the service errors by the whole team drowned any chance of a comeback.

The libero is the only player who can go in and out of the game frequently. He/she is the defensive specialist reserved to the back row. So as you can surmise, needs to be able to field serves. Erik had a nightmare start.

Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart have been doing Olympic highlights featuring commentary, and some play-by-play of sports they don't understand. Pretty funny. The basketball (which they do understand) segment featured a basketball playing robot and and a story on Ira Brown that I was not aware of.

I don't know if any of you have seen Sydney McLaughlin hurdle, but she is an amazing talent. She runs probably the most difficult and painful event in the 400m hurdles, but it looks effortless.

Thanks, I missed the early action so I missed the aces.
