Hopefully he gets it for the 200. Noah will surely be the favorite for the 200. Noah still won, while Thompson also had a slow reaction time. Kerley wow… sure helped him get the bronze.

Crusader12-0 Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 That ref deserved to be punched. Or at the very least, our coach should have up in their face afterwards. Coaches have to stand up for their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swiss won, but the shorter chicas looked better. I seen that...I have since removed my lawsuit for crimes against humanity.

THEOC89 Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 On 7/30/2024 at 5:27 AM, RedZone said: Speaking of women's beach volleyball the little one for the US is from New Orleans and went to Mt Carmel> an all girls Catholic high school with an enrollment of about 1300 here. The little one (Nuss) won 5 state championships in high school......3 volleyball and 2 basketball Mt Carmel is considered a national Powerhouse in volleyball. Their highest ever ranking was 2018 when they finish #13 nationally. They dipped a little bit last year though going 35-10 and actually lost to your school STA 2-0 in a preseason tournament. STA would go on to win a state championship St Mary's (another large all girls Catholic school) was the team last year in New Orleans going 44-2 and finishing #18 in the nation. Anyways the little one (Nuss) was a hell of an athlete in high school. Pulling for them!! Unfortunately the LSU sucks and their team doesn’t even Make the Quarterfinals….. Those Girls need to Move to So Cal and Train with the Real Beach Volleyball Players if they want to win Gold Medals….. It’s too bad, what a waste of Talent, but you can’t train for world class Beach Vollyball in New Orleans when the real competition is in So Cal…. Had those girls gone to USC and lived and trained in So Cal, they would be playing for Gold!…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth were #2 in the World just behind the women from Brazil. They were one of the favorites to win the Gold. They didn't get it done.

Bormio Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 The US track and field team is killing it. Especially on the track. The success of the US distance runners is amazing - gold and bronze in the men’s 1500, silver in the steeplechase, medaled in the men’s 10000. And the 400 meters today was brilliant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliNorth Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 7 hours ago, On2whls said: Over the mens 1500? I commented on the wrong post. The men's 1500 is what I meant when I said " The race of the olympics so far ". The men's 1500 is one of the all time olympic races imop . Given the underdog status of the Americans and Ingebritsen and Kerr status us as by far and away the favorites . Incredible finish and the times by all 4 at the end were incredible. If the American hadn't been blocked off going around the last curve, which forced him to come to almost a complete stop, he would've shaved off at least half a second off of his winning time , which would've put his winning time in the 3:26 range . That would be near the best times ever in that event . Who saw that coming, especially how America almost never competes well in any of the races past 800 meters . That race is right up there with the Dave Wottle 800 meter win in the 72 olympics , probably even better ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was thought prior to the race that an American might medal if it was a tactically expected race. Instead Engbritson tried to break them all with too hot a start and outran his kick. Plus, unless you've been a miler, it's hard to understand how difficult it is to lose cadence during a kick and have to re-establish or even tougher, step it up as shocker did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted August 8 Author Report Share Posted August 8 @nptb17 just watched the 4x100 prelims… 😳 You will not be pleased. USA had no baton hiccups, although Coleman to Kerley was a bit sluggish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
