Saw that Laurel Hubbard, the trans New Zealand weightlifter, finished without a lift. Her Olympic journey ends with far less drama than it began.

Couldn't physically make a valid lift. In three tries, I think.Packchem91 said:Why did he/she not lift? Not make weight or something?dogplasma said:

Ohhhhh, i interpreted your initial note as didn't even try a lift....but just couldn't successfully complete one! I'm not sure either side of the controversy about allowing that into women's sports got what they wanted out of that resultdogplasma said:Couldn't physically make a valid lift.

Trivia time! There are five summer sports the US has never medaled in. Without Googling, can you guess them?
Xander Schauffele just won the Gold in Golf. And I seem to recall we used to be pretty dominant in men's water polo (talk about an exhausting sport!!!)WarrenPeace said:dogplasma said:

Handball, Badmitton, Table Tennis, Golf, water polo?
And somebody finished 11th out of 12th in the hammer throw and still got attention for it... not going to even type her name here though.dogplasma said:

That's actually really close. The sports are: Handball, badminton, table tennis, rhythmic gymnastics, and trampoline. (I didn't know trampoline was an Olympic event.)WarrenPeace said:dogplasma said:

Apologies for all of you "patriots" who were rooting against Team USA and American athletes, as the US Men's hoops team wins gold, and the women will as well.
Barely. And only because the officials let the Americans get away with egregious hand-checking and other fouling, while not allowing the other team to do so - similar to how officiating has operated in the ACC in games against Duke/Unc.PackBacker07 said:

Elliot Kipchoge wins the men's marathon for the second Olympics in a row. Dude ran a sub-five mile from 25 to 26. All the leaders average close to a five minute mile for the whole race. These guys are insane athletes. I'm in awe.

Lol - During a break in the action in the Serbia-Korea women's volleyball match, they played Cum On Feel The Noize. In Japan, in a mostly empty arena. What an epic sports/music non sequitur! Bravo!
