This is one of the most frustrating sporting events I’ve ever watched haha. Sloppy and completely undisciplined.

Better take more bad shots. That'll fix things.

Oh more fouls... nice.

Hopefully 3x3 is gone in 2028. I know they hate it down south. Why was it added in the first place? I'd rather have darts as a sport. If we're adding hobbies purely due to popularity, darts and bowling should be in the Olympics.

Ugh! The Filipino pole vaulter keeps getting high enough but still manages to clip the bar on his way down.

I'll just throw my 2 cents in for competitive cheer. Yes, it's pretty much a guaranteed gold for the States, but we have some very good teams in Canada and the rest of the world is also catching on to this sport.

I think they are currently ranked 46th and 79th in the world and first time for both on this stage. did I want them to do better? sure. was anyone expecting them to make the final? not me. those were the semis they were in btw

Not at all. The US men's team has already been eliminated, and won't get a medal. The women's team team salvaged a bronze. The best American basketball players don't qualify for 3x3... although I could see them having that change in 2028. They could find a way to stack the teams with former NBA and WNBA players. As it seems like they're bitter at being beaten at "their sport" by European squads.

Sorry, maybe I worded my post badly, I was talking about competitive cheerleading being a new Olympic sport in 2028 and that the US takes cheerleading very seriously and are very proficient at it.

Also, check out Kayak-Cross. Its wild.

But I can't find highlights that can be played in Canada, but Google it and see what you can find or use a VPN.
