Thanks for that update! I have not been following the Olympics, just the occasional story or so. Good to hear that an American took gold!

She’s a no good quitter!

Damn Straight.

Yep. Suni Lee won a gold medal.

Too many people here have been acting as if Biles was the only gymnast on the team.

Bile piles extra pressure on pals.

HEROIC

“We’ve untrained mental toughness, and the kids are showing it....”

If you have been following the Olympic Games you would know that is not true for most of the athletes. We have had outstanding performances in multiple sports.

However I wouldn’t give you sweat off my brow for The Olympic NBA Basketball team or the women’s soccer team.

Then you should keep kicking

[Az Joe]

It isn’t kicking.

Its not bullshitting like you are.

[Az Joe]

Right you are. It was Bork. Too bad about what happened to him.
