maher just got crushed by a british girl half her size.

Just watched Canada's women rugby beat France.

Some of the French women were crying.

Get some!

Canada win over France in women's rugby was wild. All 3 tries were cheeky little pick and gos from the scrummy.

USA extremely live to medal - we're about 10% vs New Zealand, but would be a modest favorite against (almost certainly) Canada in the Bronze medal game.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching them run right through GB in the quarters

It's even better than you think. The whole event is a giant party, because most of the time your team isn't playing. Everybody dresses in costume and gets blasted. The whole crowd just bandwagons every game based on whichever team's fans seem like the most fun

France was the favorite to win it, +275 at the start of the event. New Zealand and Argentina were both around +350 to +400. Fiji was 4th at +600

ok this sport is amazing

that one poor girl she got at 6 or 7 seconds in. she just goes flying and stays down

Why are there so many swimming strokes?

If your life depended on it, you wouldn't backstroke.

There's no backwards running so why does swimming get special treatment?

does anyone understand judo? watched some canadian woman win gold ... the korean opponent kept trying this move where she grabbed her bathrobe and fall, pulling the canuck down with her, but failed every time. both of them got 2 yellow cards, seemed like no points were scored, i still don't know how one does that in judo. then the korean got red carded. was this a win by default? incredible sport

Got ya man

LOL

The men skateboarders are much older. This Canadian guy is 6’3, 230

Backstroke is actually useful in some real world situations.

Butterfly seems like the most useless stroke.

But I agree with what you're saying.

If you need to transport a tray of beers across a river?

Woke up, cant fall back asleep. But good news is that Greece vs Spain men’s basketball at 5am EST.

TIME TO GIVE THESE KIWIS A TASTE OF SOME FREEDOM

thought that was the best the US women have played all tournament

Feel good about our chances to medal, which would be a great outcome

Whelp... maybe not

Went from ~55% against Canada to ~15% to 20% against Australia

Credit to Canada though, they've certainly earned it. Beating France on home soil then Australia. They were 45-1 pre-tournament

Canada women getting it done.

MOV is so huge in basketball, unlike rugby they don't shunt you directly from a pool to a seeded slot.

Three pools. The top two pool winners (by wins then MOV) get 1 seeds

The third pool winner and top #2 (by wins then MOV) get 2 seeds

The next two #2s get 3 seeds

The top 2 #3s get 4 seeds

They make it so that you can't play a rematch in the first round



I don't know if the seeds are equal or if there is 1a and 1b etc


So right now USA with a +26 against Serbia and a giant favorite over PR and South Sudan is almost a lock for a #1 seed

I think the second #1 seed is likely to go to the France/Germany winner. France is 1-0 +12 and Germany is 1-0 +20, Germany is -13 vs Brazil and France is -17 vs Japan. Meanwhile Canada is 2-0 +17 and has a solid Spain team left to play.

The #2 seeds will likely go to Canada (as the third group winner) and the France/Germany loser. Serbia has a shot if they beat PR and SS by a zillion, but -26 is a big hole to start from.

One of the #3 seeds is almost certainly Serbia, while the other is likely either Aus / Spain or (less likely) Greece

the #4 seeds are likely are the 3rd team in Pool A (Aus/Spain/Greece) and either Brazil or South Sudan. SS is currently +11 but is something like a 45 point total underdog against USA and Serbia, while Brazil is -12, dogged by 13 against Germany but will be a modest favorite against Japan.

what a great bronze medal match in women's rugby 7!

stolen.. the smash and grab full field walk off.. **** them kangaroos.
