So, what's up next to watch? or do we have to wait a few hours?

I am really looking forward to the Women's soccer match!

The US Women's team was classy in 2011 and prior. I liked those teams.
But something happened in 2012 (THAT semifinal) onwards. This generation is just a bunch of cheats.

The majority of the team I have no issues with. I think there are some genuinely good people on the squad, Megan Rapinoe being the best example.

But Wambach, Solo and Leroux drag them through the mud. #### all of them.

You seriously don't remember this from Hope in 2007? I mean I actually think it's kinda brilliant, but it does show what she's all about.

From my untrained eye I thought the Chinese woman would score higher in Execution and TOF, even according to how the commentators called it. Not that I'm not happy for Rosie, but these judged sports are always suspect.

True. But it would be a real beef if she was 2nd.. she was 3rd! So there must have been something our untrained eye couldn't see.

Yeah, Damian Warner in decathlon has a good shot at silver (Eaton is pretty heavily favored for gold) and Andre DeGrasse in the 100m and 200m is a medal contender.

Same thing could be said about the semifinals in London... (better team, not cowards, except the officials...)

Didn't they mention the time of flight is measured with lasers, so at least no bias there.

I told Pia Sundhage about Solo's criticism ("cowards," etc.) & asked if she was comfortable with #SWE's approach. "Yes. We won."

I missed that, yes that would certainly make that aspect of the score fair for everyone.

81-51 final for the USA over Canada in the Women's basketball. Canada is still second in their Group, with one game remaining, Sunday against Spain.

The water in those hot tubs at diving is kind of a funky colour.
