as if I needed a reason to not do any work today
Meh, I doubt anyone takes Olympic golf all that seriously. Otherwise you might push for someone else. Ancer and Rahm didn’t even take their full number of practice rounds.
I care! Golf is life man!
J/k - but If I’m USA, I’m picking Bryson over Clark. Clark has been a disaster in the majors this year.

They keep going for dinks instead of smashes and it’s killing them. Not sure why they keep trying when it hasn’t worked allit's slipping away

Just came here to say this. Yep. Sorry everyone. Rugby IS still at 2:30 today though.

Badminton is a bad ass sport.
Yeah, I said it!
Long rallies, 200 mph cocks to the face!

I’m certainly the farthest thing from an expert but my amateur observation is the US seems super athletic but pretty poor on technique and strategy compared to the better teams.
Strategy, no. Our players at this level now play long enough to really know the game. Technique? Yes. Absolutely. Just look at the drop kicking ability of GB vs us. That said, we have the lead now…

These ladies are simultaneously terrifying and sexy. I’m scared and aroused!
What a pass!!! USA! What a catch too, on replay. Men would have dropped that one vs Australia. Our women aren’t committing unforced errors…so far. Fingers crossed.

Are these Sevens games super short because of how physically grueling they are?
Exactly. Seven grueling minutes,l each half, seven players a side.
The last time that USA Rugby played for a medal it was 1924 when the US men won gold over France. Well let’s have a century party in Paris! US will play a medal game!
We only have to play New Zealand for a shot at a gold medal match. LOL
Women’s Rugby Sevens Semifinals/Medal matches tomorrow:
USA Network
USA vs New Zealand -8:30 AM
Australia vs Canada - 9 AM
E! Entertainment Television
Bronze Medal - Noon
Gold Medal - 12:30 PM
It will probably be USA vs defending bronze medalist Canada for bronze, but who knows? 🤷

France - the gold medal favorite - is now 0-2 in pool play in men’s handball and might not even make the medal round. Major surprise!
And then there is 15s, which are 80 minutes long with 40 minute halves. This is much closer to football as far as you having forwards (the big dudes that, depending upon position, are like o-line/d-line, TE, and LBs) and backs (RBs, WRs, DBs).
7s is basically go-go-go and tons of sprints.
