How do you figure? It's an accurate statement.

Depressed it's almost over. It ended up going pretty well despite all the fears. I really wish they'd consider extending the duration or something because in 2020 there are going to be even more sports and it seems like the schedule can't keep up.

Is there any stream showing the closing ceremony as it actually happens? NBC is going to delay it until primetime.

Watching the Mountain Bike cross country, reminds me of playing the old PSone game No Fear Downhill Mountain Biking.
Only had the demo on a disc, never played the full game but enjoyed the small bit I played.

this Bronze medal match is a nail biter
German swimmers didn't win a single medal after not winning anything in London either. This will be the leading sports headline around these parts for the foreseeable future. And Germany winning in Beach Volley is getting a lot of attention.
Would also love to know if the Schützenvereine will get more members after the great results of the shooters. I though about trying it out myself.

Even on the last day of competition I don't know what to watch!
Mountain biking? Basketball bronze medal game? Volleyball gold medal match? I keep jumping between all three.

Kind of sucks, though. I wish they were staggered so the Olympics went on a bit longer... shame it's all over tonight.

I'm really impressed with Team USA's performance. They'll end up with at least 121 total medals. That's their most since 1984. Excluding the boycotted 1984 Games and the 1904 St. Louis games, it's the most medals ever won by USA.
Sorry but Rudy simply flailed into Mills. That is not a foul on any competitive level of basketball. The ref choked.
Not to mention, Mills was backpedaling just to avoid contact. That was a weak call. Still it was a very enjoyable game.

Hopefully Kyle Snyder can win a gold for Ohio State and the USA today, dude has done everything else
it shows that you don't watch basketball, read the rules. it's not about diving. if there's contact with the opponent's hand it is a fault, even if the contact is soft, it is still a contact.
Ok? It's a shit rule if the end result is players constantly driving into the opponents to draw fouls and getting rewarded for it. Most fouls barely involve any contact the one at the end wasn't unique. It's soft.
Lol what
Here's the bullshit foul that gave Spain the bronze over Australia: https://streamable.com/k7nc
The fact that the ref blew it so late makes me think twice about the officiating.

I don't understand why they didn't look at the replay. It was the most crucial decision of the whole match and the referee made a mistake. Bummer for Australia.
Great Britain is the name of the island (which not everybody knows)
Ie England Wales and Scotland.

Great XC race there. Fun looking course. Congrats to Switzerland!
Didn't manage to watch the start, but otherwise was really good race.
Better sport to watch on TV than I would have given it credit for (dont' usually watch UCI cup).
Nino's been so dominant this year. Well deserved win from what I saw.
Yeah, I am brazilian, but there was definitely a touch
