How about the woman from St Lucie coming out of nowhere to win gold in the 100 meter.First time that island nation has won a medal.

And the GOAT of tennis Noval Djokovic downing Alcaraz in two 7-6 tiebreakers. Awesome.

Watching how Djokovic and Scottie reacted to winning shows how much it meant to them. Both these guy have won repeatedly at the highest levels in their sports. Both these guys have won piles of money in their respective sports.
Yet winning the Gold Metal in the Olympics brought both of them to tears.
Great to see Jordan Chiles gat that bronze in the floor final.
Crazy end to the men's 100m final. Noah Lyles of the USA sneaks up to win by .005 seconds.
I was super happy to see this. St. Lucia is a great island with a great beer: Piton
It had never been exported but I would be willing to make a wager that Jimmy Buffett's recipe for Landshark is quite similar. (Piton is still better, especially when drinking it in St. Lucia)

Everyone talks about the women's beach volleyball players as being hot.
Has anyone checked out the young women in the running events?
Such talented and beautiful athletes.

I couldn't believe that finish. My eyes told me that he finished no better than third. I had it the guy from Jamaica and then the other American followed my Lyles. I couldn't figure out wtf Lyles was yapping about after the race.One 5000th of a second is as good as a mile.
What a brilliant 200M Gold for Gabby Thomas. Such an elegant runner.

The men's 400m final was nuts. Huge comeback win from USA's Quincy Hall.
Did you see the pic of him before the race? he wears normal, loose boxer shorts beneath that speed suit. What a hero
That was some race, no way did you think he would win in the last 100M. The British runner he pipped was overwhelming favourite.
The Americans are killing it on the track and field this Olympics. The BBC have the excellent Michael Johnson as an analyst, and he's really impressed. The Jamaican sprinters seem to have faded away. The American runner Cole Hocker did the same in the 1500M, came from nowhere in the last 100M or so to win the Gold,
I have to say, Gabby Thomas make me feel all funny in the gentleman department...
All that dude from Norway had to do was maintain the inside but he moved to his right and gave Hocker the daylight to sneak by him. Amazing race.Did you see the pic of him before the race? he wears normal, loose boxer shorts beneath that speed suit. What a hero

Do you think Cole Hocker's parents intended for people to get embarrassed after they Spoonerism his name?Did you see the pic of him before the race? he wears normal, loose boxer shorts beneath that speed suit. What a hero

Was nice of Kerr to actually put Holiday and White in in the 2nd quarter to play some defense when they were down 20. The anti-Celtics bullshit is real. Watching Curry, Durant and Lebron get owned by these nobodies (It's not Jokic) and getting hunted on the pick and roll is hilarious.
