Plouffe played on the actual Olympic squad twice. She’s far from a bum. Yes the Americans could probably stack a team and dominate both like they do in regular basketball.
She was on Team Canada in Olympics basically warming up the bench. Pretty nothing player. Clumsy, now old. Maybe she was better when younger. Fortunate for her 3 on 3 is even a format now or she'd be out of basketball. lets keep it real in that CWNT isn't all that good. Even Kia Nurse has had a spot on it for a long while.
Lol you don’t make the Olympic team if you are a nothing player. Period.
3 on 3 is a participation type of thing. Its fine on that end. Basically pickup ball. Originated to make it easier to get Basketball played with limited players. As viewing sport it sure doesn't work, and sure as shit shouldn't be on Olympics. Its a joke.
It’s pretty obvious to me you haven’t played, watched, or paid attention to anything 3 on 3 basketball in your life.
I'm 63 and suck at basketball and can't jump properly anymore. You're onto something. haha
Canada dominating the hammer throw. Who'd a ever thunk it???
They’re both from the same part of the country so maybe something in the water.
Just spinning that many times at that speed would make me vomit.
Used to know some Physics profs. Would wonder how they would break down the ideal mechanics. To me the Canadians seem to be generating more centrifugal force and velocity spin than the other competitors. Their technique seems somewhat different and Katzberg does not have the physique of a typical hammer thrower. Have they had revolutionary coaching and technique? It seems so.
The physics is pretty simple in the end. Get the thing moving as fast as possible and release it at a 45 degree angle and you should be gold. Of course all of that is easier said than done and there is much more to know in terms of how to get to that end. Getting that sucker to travel in a circle without it pulling you with it requires some real strength.
Just make sure your foot isn't on the card when you jump, end up slipping and breaking a hip or something
Very curious how it'll be 10 years from now. I sooner see the Women's having WNBA players before the Men's getting NBA players.
The interview they just aired with her instantly made her one of my favourites. Just sounds like an incredibly genuine person. Love to see new people like this in the Olympics that I would never have heard of
I feel a lot of the athletes at the olympics are a lot more genuine than we are use to. They aren't use to the media or being pre-programmed like certain sports are from a young age.
And being able to do that, not vomit and track the release spot is a hell of a skill.
They should combine them into a drunken triathlon
Go to west edmonton mall and walk behind the snails, once you pass them you open up into high gear.
