And Team USA woke up in the late 3rd quarter to beat Australia in basketball. They kind of sluffed along until it seemed necessary to actually win the game, then blew them out big time.

He’s got the build of Sugar Ray Leonard and he’s equally elegant on the move. Wonderful to watch.
Woooo Canada managed to pull off an upset and get a bronze in Women’s soccer. Sadly, I wasn’t watching it.
