Entertaining down the stretch with a bunch of big names and the Frenchman coming close

Well unless Fleetwood makes a miraculous chip-in Scottie Scheffler wins the Gold.

Djokovic beats Alcaraz 7-6 7-6 to win Gold.
Huge win for him as this was the only thing missing in his trophy room and his last chance to do it. And it’s even more meaningful because it’s not just an individual accomplishment but also a gold for Serbia which i would guess is something he values the most.

Djokovic hit critical first serves when it mattered. That was the match. Carlos played like C+ match and that’s what it will take to beat him. If he’s at a B level or above nobody beats him.
Novak also played lots better than their last match. His motivation level seemed doubled at least.

It was mostly my mom who didn't get it. This is how the conversation went:

"Why doesn't Giannis play for the USA?"

"Because he's Greek."

"But he plays for the Bucks"

"Yeah, but he's a Greek citizen"

"So, LeBron plays for the USA."

"Yeah, because he's American."
Just don't let her hear Embiid talk or she'll be really confused by the US basketball player with a Cameroon accent.

Not exactly sure.
The Netherlands brought in their ringer. That girl was a beast!

On that note though, I don’t really like how you can switch in and out athletes from the prelims, semis, and finals. The same 4 should compete in the final that competed in the previous races unless there’s an injury).
You can do it in HS, so why not the olympics.

Looked like a million people were at golf. Wow. I know it wasn't, but a couple shots of the gallery, massive crowd.
