handball, badminton, and table tennis I believe are the 3 sports we have never metaled in...

I don't believe we have ever "metaled" in any sport - ever.

American Jordan Burroughs is in the Finals at 74KG for Men's Freesyle Wrestling. Finals will be about 1:50 central time

The semi was a very entertaining match to watch. Burroughs won the 1st and 3rd period, Russian took the 2nd. On both 1st and 3rd Burroughs waited until the last 30 seconds to score/take the lead.

I don't believe we have ever "metaled" in any sport - ever.

to be fair I was initially chose table tennis instead of badminton because I wasn't sure how to spell badminton.

We currently have more Gold medals than all but 3 other countries have total medals.

Incredible seeing David Boudia win gold with that great last dive. Definitely one of the high points of the games for me.

Anyone else see that Tulsa is exploring applying for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Are they on crack?
