Really cheering for these 2 to win. They rose to the occasion for sure. Facing adversity, down a set but they dug in and never gave up. Really resilient.Stayed focused and the Swiss seemed to lose a bit of composure at the end...you could see things shift as they expected Canada to go away but they didn't. Really proud of these girls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to do it again one more time for Gold! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Had the game live on my phone while I worked. Was down 0-1 at the time. I tuned it off, since there was so little clothing on. Didn't want to get in trouble at the hospital. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 It's kind of interesting to me that sports I'd never think of watching capture my attention when it's the Olympics. I'm really into the women's beach volleyball...first, it was the back drop that wow'd me. Then the women's team sold me on their gameplay and how they battled. So what sports are you most into? Obviously, when we're in contention it draws us in but, overall, what is the stuff that you're interested in? I'm loving the track, swimming and beach volleyball. I'm not as into the bike stuff (although, in past Olympics that wasn't the case). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few serve errors and I think the mental game came into play when the Canadians didn't roll over and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby 7's, swimming, all distances, my boys were competitive swimmers, H2O polo, track, not so much field events, and I'd like gymnastics if it wasn't such a reputation sport when scoring is involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Interesting article about Lyles. Apparently, he's suffered from asthma and mental health issues. Five things to know about sprint champion Noah Lyles "I have asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), anxiety and depression. But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become. Why not you!" he wrote. https://www.reuters.com/sports/olympics/athletics-five-things-know-about-sprint-champion-noah-lyles-2024-08-07/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
