July 25, 20214 yr lmao USA Basketball lost to France because our players insist on bricking 3s over and over and as opposed to driving into the paint and making easy layups There was literally a situation at the end of the game where USA was down by 2 and it was 4 vs 5 with a clear lane to drive for an open 2 and instead we shot a 3, missed it and got the rebound, shot another 3 and missed it and got the rebound, and then shot another 3 and missed it. Embarrassing. Edited July 25, 20214 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

July 27, 20214 yr And we (Serbia) snagged a gold medal in Taekwondo. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP

Hopefully whatever issue Simone Biles is having isn't too serious; silver isn't something to be sneezed at, even though I know the US team were wanting the gold. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
July 27, 20214 yr Seems it was mental/emotional issue https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jul/27/simone-biles-withdraws-tokyo-2020-olympics-gymnastics-all-around-final Which means she's in for some of the routine online abuse.

July 27, 20214 yr Since much of the medal hopes kept being pinned on her, I kind of get what she's saying. Its not an easy position to be in. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

July 28, 20214 yr Looks like Biles has pulled out of the all-around competition. Hope things get better for her, but it is better to err on the side of caution rather than risk losing focus halfway through flipping in the air and injuring herself. I cannot - yet I must.

July 28, 20214 yr 39 minutes ago, Gfted1 said: I wonder who she beat out to make the team. That woman is probably crushed. As I understand it only the top two at the national trials got an automatic spot on the team. Had Biles dropped out after the national trials, the top two would be Sunisa Lee and Jordan Chiles who are both on the team. The remaining spots on the national team (2 more team, 2 specialists and up to three alternates/replacements, I think) are picked by the athletic selection committee. I cannot - yet I must.

July 28, 20214 yr I just read an article about Sunisa Lee being the new favorite, so I imagine she is not crushed that she has a shot at gold.
July 28, 20214 yr And if she and Chiles quit, then the 2 more team, 2 specialists and up to three alternates/replacements will be stoked for a shot at gold!
July 28, 20214 yr Britain needs more gold medals, they can't even win rowing. When do the cricket and track cycling start? Edited July 28, 20214 yr by HoonDing The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Portugal just got a bronze medal in -100kg, which is actually a bit of a disappointment. He is the current world champion having won gold at the last two championships.

July 30, 20214 yr Crossing over between Olympics and Politics.... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hongkongers-boo-as-chinese-anthem-plays-at-edgar-cheung-tokyo-olympics-medal-ceremony-fl33mg89b? Police are investigating the booing of China’s national anthem at a shopping centre during a live broadcast of the medal ceremony as a Hong Kong fencer was awarded the territory’s first gold since 1996 during the Tokyo Olympics. A large crowd had gathered around a big screen showing the ceremony, but began booing and chanting “We are Hong Kong!” as China’s national anthem, March of the Volunteers, was played while Hong Kong’s district flag was raised for Edgar Cheung, the champion.
