Members janea4old Posted August 6, 2024 Members Share Posted August 6, 2024 from the University of Sheffield news about the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro: https://web.archive.org/web/20160823182954/http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/olympic-medal-rio-alumni-1.597944 In a light-hearted reference to her Sheffield studies, Bryony took a good luck memento with her to Rio - a dinosaur lunchbox given to her by her younger brother. During her degree, Bryony wrote a dissertation on the sounds dinosaurs would have made 'or that we think they made': "They probably didn't have the vocal chords to roar like they did in the movies," Bryony explained, but probably squawked or chirped like birds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted August 7, 2024 Members Share Posted August 7, 2024 Men's basketball semifinals are set for Thursday: USA/Serbia, France/Germany. I'm predicting USA/France gold medal game, Serbia/Germany bronze medal game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 8, 2024 Members Share Posted August 8, 2024 It’s so odd when I get a premonition—to paraphrase Stevie Nicks- I keep them to myself. After watching Letsile Tebogo place 1st in his Heat, ahead of Noah Lyles, I got this feeling (a premonition, if you will) that it would be Tebogo getting the gold in the 200M. And here we are! And now, consider the geopolitical dynamics of the Javelin gold medal going from India in the Tokyo Games to their archnemesis Pakistan in Paris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 8, 2024 Members Share Posted August 8, 2024 Noah Lyles got bronze and he has COVID. In men's basketball, Serbia gave USA a scare but USA came through.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 8, 2024 Members Share Posted August 8, 2024 I’m not even gonna get into the ethics of being in close proximity to teammates who didn’t know he had COVID. I did think it was odd that he was expending so much energy in the walkout and preparation for his race-why not conserve energy? There’s a saying that tennis players say: if you’re fit enough to show up, you’re fit enough to compete, no excuses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 9, 2024 Members Share Posted August 9, 2024 The Dutch, at least, are attempting to adhere to some sensible protocols when it comes to avoiding COVID (and not functioning as a superspreader) at the Paris Olympic Games. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/world/olympics/paris-olympics-covid-19.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 9, 2024 Administrator Share Posted August 9, 2024 Canada with the upset win in the men's 4x100M relay! Americans botched the handoff and were DQ'd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted August 9, 2024 Members Share Posted August 9, 2024 And if the British women hadn't had a few iffy handoffs they could very well have won the women's 4x100M relay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 9, 2024 Members Share Posted August 9, 2024 (edited) USA/France game tomorrow is going to the LeBron James and Kevin Durant show, just watch. Maybe Steph Curry as well.
