By bludgeoning do you mean in terms of highly physical play?

Yes but legal. Just tough battles all over the court.

Spain came back from 14 down. Only down 36-30 at half

Gabby had 2 3's early and some assists but is not the defensive terror she was in the previous game so far.

Well, my skills as a prognosticator took a hit in the quarterfinals. I had USA right but missed on Belgium, China, and Spain. Looks like a clear path to gold for the USA. They are playing better and should beat Serbia. France and Japan a tossup but edge to France in payback game. USA over France for Gold. France for Silver. Serbia for Bronze. We’ll see I guess.

Japan??? And it wasn’t even close. I refuse to believe that Japan can beat the USA.
The Japan coach when he took the job, said I want to beat the USA in the Gold Medal game in the Tokyo Olympics.
He might wish he hadn't said that. Stewie and the rest of the USA don't need extra incentive.

Maybe so, but with the games being held on their home turf, I'm not surprised a new coach would say this when first being hired. The message is more for his team than for Team USA. He's got to sell himself and show those who will/would play for him that he's got faith in them.

14-year-old Quan Hongchan scores 2 perfect 10s in historic gold-medal diving performance
She was unreal, and that was epic. May be she was so motivated, because she wants to earn money for her mother's treatment and raise the spirits of her ill mother. I don't think she cracked a smile even after she won. It was steely determination on her face throughout.

WooHoo. One of my favorite Irish athletes, Molly Seidel, just took the bronze medal in the Olympic Marathon. This is only her 3rd marathon and she dueled with the world's best. Well, done, Molly! 
Here's a follow-up article on Molly & the Marathon Race. Gives some insight into her perspective, strategy and character.

Showing on NBC last 3 miles right now
I caught the last 10 miles on TV, as she gets more experience, let the Kenyans do all the work, and sit there, work on a finishing kick.

I watched diving live at 2am all week. It was worth it. What a historic series of events. The two Chinese competitors were phenomenal the entire week.
