[GT] Day 4 - July 30

#### Yes !!!!!!!!!!

Do not say they only got Silver

That NZ team has multiple Olympians and a sure fire Hall of Fame.

The experience on Black was crazy.

Canada has 1 player that was in the last Olympics (I think I’m going by memory)


Game was close and really could have gone either way.

I think the card should have been Red.

USA wins gold, Italy with silver and Brazil gets the Bronze. Unfortunately, neither Canada or China were able to get medals in the Women's Gymnastics Finals.

FAA and Dabrowski are on Sportsnet in Mixed Doubles right now

Don’t know why CBC isn’t showing the swimming right now but Ilya Kharun qualified for the 200m Butterfly Final

[Sainters7]

Great swim by Kharun! Off to the 200m men's butterfly finals. Man that race was tight, 1st to 5th felt like a difference of a pinky.

I swear no other sport in Olympics are the athletes as overall jacked & lean like swimmers, wish I had gotten into that growing up...would've been glorious to have that bod in high school/college lol

4th for Masse.

[Sainters7]

Dang! Masse was 1st halfway through, ends up 4th. Still impressive.

Didn't know Wilm trains at Lindsay Park facility, that's my gym, I'll definitely be thinking of that when I'm swimming in there later this afternoon.

[You Need a Thneed]

Wilm 6th.

Gymnastics too! Though they're more jacked and less lean.

FAA / Dabrowski get the break, and are up 4-2 in the first set.

Too lean and jacked. Like gymnasts are too muscular.

I think the track and field bodies, middle distance running for example, are the best

Yeah I could see that, sometimes their traps/shoulderblades are borderline freakish.

There's just lots of swimming events at my gym pool, I'll hear what sounds like nerdy teenage knuckleheads yelling & whooping it up in the locker room, then look over at what's causing the racket, and it appears to be a few miniature Greek god statues having a conversation. The old teenage version of Sainters is envious haha

Errrrrrrr don’t creep on teenagers in the locker room

Especially as it sounds like they could beat you up.

[Sainters7]

Haha oh trust me I ain't, I want to be as far away from them as possible: for some reason teenagers are incapable of having a conversation without yelling. When people are making a lot of over the top noise around you, it's natural to see what knuckleheads are causing it. Then my soft bod self feels shame after in comparison. And they definitely could beat me up!

Anyway back to the Olys, final swim events of the day are wrapping up!

[CofR]

FAA and Dabrowski move on!

[You Need a Thneed]

FAA / Dabrowski win the final tiebreak to advance.

I don't understand 3x3 basketball. It just seems to be a bunch of lanky white dudes chucking the ball at the net. If Durant, Curry, James, etc wanted to play this they would win with ease. I enjoy watching pickup basketball, but this is not best on best.

Why not have baseball/softball over this?
