Re: 2012 Olympics Thread
And what is an Olympiad without a truly disgraceful boxing decision?

Re: 2012 Olympics Thread
I'm not watching, but unless the internet is playing a joke on me the men's basketball team just set the Olympic record for points in a game with about 5minutes go and lead Nigeria 139-68. Ouch.

Re: 2012 Olympics Thread
I believe they broke the century mark in the third quarter. I thought the graphic must have been wrong. I guess not.

Re: 2012 Olympics Thread
I've heard rumblings that FIBA is going to make Olympic basketball like Olympic soccer where the teams competing are U-23 and not necessarily true senior national teams. I think I'd really like that.
In hindsight, I almost wish after the Dream Team in '92, the US went back to using a college all-star team to make that anomoly stand out even more.

Serena Williams dominates her way to Olympic gold. Beat Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 in the final.
UPSET ALERT: USA hoops leading Lithuania 69-67 w/3 minutes left in the third.

Re: 2012 Olympics Thread
US hoops wins with a late run ... 99-94. I think they can stop comparing themselves to the Dream Team, now.

Re: 2012 Olympics Thread
What has happened to American amateur boxing? Last gold medal was 2004. One bronze in 2008. Only one boxer left standing in 2012.
