USA basically needs to sweep most of its remaining golds today and tomorrow (both hoops, women's volleyball, both 4x4 relays) to give us the best shot at winning the gold race vs. the Chinese.

A win in men's high jump and/or women's 100 hurdles would be a nice bonus.

The overall medal count has been decided for a while already.

I think it was right but I felt bad for the Romanian. Have it ripped away.

Chiles stripped of bronze because US asked for inquiry 1 minute and 4 seconds after her score was posted. 4 seconds over timeline.

U.S. women just murdered the rest of the 4x400 field. Domination.

Women's 4x4 by a million.

Olympic bball is so much better since it’s become fully global. The original Dream Team can be thanked for that.

What happened there? They were tied when the plane landed.

It’s crazy when the first two off the bench are Edwards and Tatum.

It went to a jump off.

Weren’t their final highs the same?

Northern’s Aryan sisters, the Dutch, went from fourth to the silver medal in the last lap thanks to Femke Bol. He’s not celebrating here though because they passed white girls from Ireland and Great Britain while still getting smoked by four black girls from the United States.

Per the rule book

If the event remains tied, the jumpers have a jump-off, beginning at the next greater height. Each jumper has one attempt to clear the crossbar. The bar is then alternately lowered and raised until only one jumper succeeds at a given height.

Commentators made it sound like they agreed to a jump off. Apparently they had the option to both share the gold but wanted the jump off
