Greece falls to Canada in hoops
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Here is a mind blower. There are three main people in the first 15 seconds of this video. Two are Olympic Gold Medalists. Then you have Steph Curry.

I like watching all the weird things I'd never usually watched.
My son and I watched mountain biking this morning. Then handball tonight. Futsal looks sweet too.

Excellent race, very entertaining to watch. Amazing how the French woman won by nearly 3 minutes!

And if you didn't watch Bobby Witt tonight, I am sorry. The game winning grandslam and two incredible plays off the left field grass in the 9th were epic. Four more hits.

X Games 2024 Paris.
I'm not happy that the Olympics are no longer just amateur athletes competing, and there are events such as Break Dancing, Basketball 3x3, BMX Freestyle, Skateboarding, etc.
Those events are fine, I just don't feel they should be Olympic events.

those other sports you mention should be relegated to XGames

i’m also not a fan of equestrian events in the olympics
the horses don’t get medals, and they’re doing most of the work

Not because it's similar to horses, but because they absolutely help and are in some way a "team".

Do you feel coaches should get medals in other sports? They don't.
You know who does get medals? Gymnasts who participate and finish in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, place.
Now that I know who won the team competition, I will find something else to watch on TV tonight.

Re: usa olympics
If there is an equation where medals=championship ring, coaches should get medals.
If not, they should not.
I’m torn with team sports, as the coach can absolutely matter in REAL time as a result of their decisions.
Same with caddies, although a player ultimately decides with what club and how to hit each shot.
In the end, every Olympic athlete has a coach. How do we differentiate their influence?
