There was zero reason to take this down. Unless there's something I don't know about. Looked fine. Obviously sponsors are fine.

 

I dunno but my guess was it was just mistitled.

 

As I mentioned in my post, It didn't have any covid ( american runner) talk in the video.

 

The vid was all about a wheelchair athlete.

This basketball game is a perfect example of how corrupt FIBA officiating is.

 

France wouldn’t even be close if it wasn’t for the officials. They have way too much power to influence games.

 

Any time I think NHL officiating is bad I should go watch basketball. 🤣

Not a huge fan of the bravado but man are some of those circus shots he makes amazing or what. Definitely the deciding factor in this game with the questionable reffing. 


He’s the Patrick Kane of basketball.

 

Super cocky, but when the games on the line they get it done.

I see some folk upset about the temp addition of breakdancing.

 

To me, its just another category of rhythmic gymnastics.

 

yep, I don't see any difference really. People dance in the pool, so this seems fine.

Don't gloat! You barely beat France. You get played millions of dollars to play. LOL

France have like 4 NBA players. Honestly probably didn't even really belong there. But reffing was pretty favorable for the host country and Canada choked. France's best player was a 20 year old. This would be like team USA's men's hockey team beating the Bedard led Chicago Blackhawks. Lol. But hats off to them anyway. No matter how unlikable they are, they won gold.

We're kicking China's ass statistically. China should have 950 medals if they were as good as us based on population. 

 

If you want to apply that metric, think about the Australians.

 

Equal third gold medals 18.

Fifth ranking all medals 50.

 

All from a population base of 26 million.

 

However what one has to take into account is how much money governments/societies spend in funding sport. 

We spend hundreds of millions of dollars funding our athletes.

 

Still an impressive performance from the Aussies.

 

My favourite medal performance of this  Games was Cindy Ngamba winning a bronze medal - boxing - for the Refugee Olympic Team.

Their first medal since the team was created nearly a decade ago.
