Yeah the Russians are probably going to sweep the gymnastics Gold this year.

Mostly due to Simone Biles deciding to have a mental breakdown.

Wasn't she injured? I was watching.

The US wins silver in equestrian

Lot of speculation it’s her mental state due to the pressure of being the GOAT. Could be an injury, but if Biles was anything close to her normal self the US wins that gold easily.

That’s a real shame. Russian gymnastics team got lucky this year.

Japan just beat the US in women's softball for gold wow. And China just beat Brazil in beach volley ball who would've thunk that!?! Some crazy stuff.

As far as Simone Biles, she was way too overwhelmed with all the pressure on here to be the dominant one plus she had major ankle injuries that were very painful to the point where she couldn't cope.
Most people think this is all just physical stuff but the mental aspect for these kids (and many of them are just kids) is way more than many of us adults could handle in our lives.

Here's her statement.

Japan and the US are equals in softball. That was a toss up, so not surprised they won.

The home nation always does well, the extra pride of playing at home I suppose.

Hyped acts performed underwhelmingly in this olympics-US gymnastic team,US swimming team,Chinese Diving /table tennis /CHINEse volleyball/Nadeshiko Japan etc; anything can happen in this Olympics.In the post Bolt/Phelps era , Sun Yang was like the only athlete guaranteeing multiple gold medals;and the west managed to successfully devise a plot to ban him for this Olympics ,without any evidence of doping against him.
