US beats Brazil in the 5th set 15-11 to advance to the Gold Medal match against either Turkey or Italy.
I hope you do, if for no other reason than it would be hilarious to me. There are several of those gorillas on the grounds, and they get repainted every now and again. "The" exact gorilla is in front of a small gift shop next door to the "myrtle beach gift shop". He's not the huge gorilla that's by the road, he's directly in front of the gift shop glass
you WILL get funny looks. It's worth it lol

Don't tell me we're going to need a dedicated South of the Border gorilla thread now
Nice run Botswana, and immediately American announcers are making excuses for Lyles

I could care less about pro or amateur
good news for those that don’t their are other things to do and watch - August is great for going on Early evening walking trails
We got some great ones around here I’d probably check out if wasn’t loving these Olympics
Too much Seth Curry. He absolutely carried the team today. But huge collapse for Serbia there
OK, Pats never cheated....never got caught. I love Brady and Belichick!!!
But I am not a fan of Lance and have some doubt on Carl...just saying!
We can all see and hear what WE want to see and hear. Have a nice one bud!

I'm sorry Canada's systematic cheating, which they literally called "spying" in internal emails, that went on for a decade got caught and then the women immediately didn't medal.

Yup if you are married to someone and agree on 70 % that’s excellent
Little bit of a lucky escape for the US. Should at least get their heads in order for the gold medal game. The French crowd will be going nuts for their team.
Americans at Paris Olympics dumbfounded over no alcohol at sporting events
"The lack of alcohol is odd," one American told NBC News. "I think it’s a fundamental part of sports."

I will say, much as we Aussies also love a beer at the footy, what Paris is doing is not completely unusual in Europe. Drinking alcohol in the stands is banned at the soccer in England, has been for a long time. You can drink at the bar on the concourse pre-game or at half-time, but not in your seat. Too many drunken fights and nonsense back in the old days.
On another Olympic note, one of my favorite things at the track and field are the little remote-controlled cars they use to transport the javelins and discus back to the starting point after they've been thrown. I want that job!

I am glad there is no alcohol at the Olympics, it would've ruined the positive nature of the games, by bringing in drunken idiots to ruin the fun for everyone.Americans at Paris Olympics dumbfounded over no alcohol at sporting events

They've been sneaking the alcohol in.
Especially during the outdoor volleyball games.
It's all over tiktok

That relay was almost a disaster.
Luckily we pulled it off. Richardson is literally so fast. Wow
