Us womens vball backdoor Pool winner.  5 set win over Italy,  sloppy match.  meanwhile Turkey takes down Russia in 5.  QF start tomorrow.   

US now down two starters as setter Jordyn Poulter turned her ankle just like Jordyn Thompson did earlier.   JT is expected to return, we'll see.  Micah Hancock now setting.  Once she settled in she played well.  Great job setting middles.

The extremely dangerous, neck exploding "yips" have been miraculously cured, just in time for a little balance beam action.

That's great. I know it's not in fashion to root for American greatness anymore, but it is nice to see the best come from America

Really good TV in that 400m hurdles.  Top 2 crush the WR, the Norwegian goes sub 46 seconds.   Like I need another reminder of how slow we all are.

I just don't get wrestling. I can buy into any weird ass sport during the Olympics for a couple days, but I just find wrestling brutal to watch

Well, she only cost herself two gold medals with a fake injury, apparently?  So way to game the system?

Most exciting track moment since Michael Johnson?  Bolt was fun, but he wasn't overly competitive.

Seems like swimming has certainly replaced track in the American consciousness.

Watching diving, that feels like another sport that has completely fallen off domestically.  We've already discussed tennis.

I think watching Bolt set a record while celebrating in the 100 was the most jaw dropping moment I've ever seen in the Olympics.

I think the CC skiing events in the Winter provide some of the best Olympic drama.
