Crazy... I don't know why she doesn't run the 400m as well. 48.36 won the gold medal in 2020. McLaughlin-Levrone could go under that time with ease.

Pakistan with their first medal since 1992 and gold since 1984. Great work by Nadeem.

Lots of reasons to want the Americans to lose, but the media slurp job if they comeback will be insufferable.

Americans will probably win this by 10+, and instead of hearing about how they can take 75% of the game off and still win comfortably, we'll get to hear how gritty this win is lol.

If they come back from 13 down in the 4th it is a great comeback story

Still got the FIBA going full David Stern backdoor for France to get the Americans out, but pretty predictable the Americans had to try for 10 minutes and still win easily. Might even still cover here.

I mean Serbia weren't going to win anyway, but not fouling right away is pretty embarrassing.
