You did not. Try again. "That's OK some island somewhere can say they beat the USA and got a gold medal in Beer Pong without
even checking if the USA was even entered in Beer Pong." I said nothing about "only win if USA was not in the event."

What country you talking about and what is "Beer pong" ^&confuse^&confuse
 
Ok Guys,

Lets try and keep it friendly. After all isn't that what the Olympics are supposed to promote.

Sammy,
I was vaguely aware there are some in Australia playing baseball but it would be way down the list of Australian team sports in terms of participation. Most would not even be aware there is a national team and pretty sure could not make a living playing it here.
 
Hopefully, they will run faster than the mosquios :)
 
Not a bad first day of competition, one gold medal in the books for the US of A.

Everytime they show a medal ceremony and they play the national anthem, I feel like someone is chopping onions in the other room or the room I'm in gets dusty if you catch my drift........................:wink2:

And I think it's pretty cool that coach K and the pro basketball players give up their Summer to represent their country, would be easy to say no thanks, but I think it's great they are there, same with pro golfers and tennis players, good for them, a nice thing to see.

A medal for the US in shooting ^&grin^&grin

Agree was peeling onions when we won 2 gold in the pool
 
While sitting in a car dealership today waiting to sign our lives away I was really pleased to see the Fencing final on CNBC of all places and am thrilled for my friends Tibor and Orsi from Hungary that they took home a gold. Got to love watching these games and seeing some really interesting sports.

Starting tomorrow I'm going to take up 10 meter air rifle shooting. Always been my favorite sport. Ready to break out my daisey bb air rifle. See you at the 2020 games.

OK I know it wont last but Australia top of the medal count after day one.

For the record I think we should count any medals won by Denmark towards Australian total due to the Royal connection. Lets throw in New Zealand also since there are so many of them in Australia.

Like Mom always used to say, be careful or you'll shoot your eye out.

Remember to turn the gun to the target :wink2:
 
For a "grudge" event looks like the 1500m final with Aussie swimmer Mack Horton (won the 400m) against Chinese swimmer Sun Yang is going to be one of the ones to watch.

So far Horton has said Sun is a drug cheat and Sun said did not know who Horton is.
 
The US women's gymnastic team is so dominating the event that their score has been compared to a football team winning 120 to 0!!!!
They are 10 points ahead of their closest competitor which in gymnastics is unheard of....could be the best team ever......just superb athletes.

US women's swimmer Ledecky broke another world record as she dominates the middle and long distance freestyle races.

Phelps wins another gold as the US men's freestyle relay team wins back its race.
 
Great pair of fantastic shootouts in the quarters for Women's soccer today. Great win for Brasil but tough loss for the US against Sweden. Brasilian goalie made a couple of fantastic saves. Tough loss for the Aussies.
 
The swimming events have been terrific, Phelps and Ledecky are demolishing their competition, Phelps has won 21 gold medals in his career, what a brilliant athlete.

indoor and beach volleyball have been fun to watch as well, now my favorite, track and field will be on deck for the next few days.

So far, this has been a lot of fun to watch, very good Olympics so far.

The greatest amateur athletes it the world competing for two weeks, it's great sport.
