Apparently a road race biker that finished second thought she won gold medal because she didn’t realize someone who was a few miles ahead was actually up there. Keep in mind she apparently never knew this and had half the race to try to catch up had she known it. [Reply]

Then she, and her team are to blame.
No race radios in the Olympics. It is incumbent on the racers, and the team to be aware of race situation. At any time a rider can go back to team car to get info.
The Dutch team was strongest but they failed to communicate and see some vital signs that someone was up the road. Items like the motorcycle showing time gaps and even more importantly lack of lead car on indicating they were chase group not lead group.
Fuck the Dutch. They didn’t even congratulate the winner and their excuse is amateur. [Reply]
Not surprising that Team USA Basketball is struggling. Most of those NBA players barely give a shit during the NBA season when they are getting paid (load management, personal time off, etc.) [Reply]

Is playing some foreign scrubs close to the highest level? This is an indictment on how bad the NBA has become. Flopping, iso ball, jacking up 3s.....the world has improved some but this is more in regards to the decline of the NBA. [Reply]

A lot of NBA players these days don't know how to play basketball when they aren't getting their touch fouls gifted to them by the NBA refs. That much I agree with. [Reply]
