First time since 2000 that the US won't medal in women's beach volleyball.

I am so broken hearted.. Kelly even loves anime, she has Full Metal Alchemist tat.

And the dutch ladies won gold (one day after our men's team) and are now the best team EVER in field hockey at the olympics!
Just a few more chances on medals this weekend. We already broke our record of 12 golden medals back from Sydney. We have 13 now. HUP HOLLAND HUP!!

Raygun, the female Australian breakdancer, should've won the gold. Those moves were impeccable. Once she hit em with the kangaroo it was over. But for some reason she's a meme now and everyone is hatin'.

My favorite moments of Paris:

1. Novak Djokovic cementing his legacy as the tennis GOAT by winning Olympic gold.
2. Quincy Hall mounting a comeback to win the 400 meter for the US.
3. Femke Bol putting the pedal to the medal for the Netherlands to win gold in the 4×400 m mixed relay.
4. Katie Ledecky showcasing her dominance in the 1500 meter freestyle.
5. USA men's basketball team beating France in an intense final thanks to Stephen Curry.

Honorable mention: USA women beating France in basketball by one point.

A true national hero.

Overall I am pretty pleased with how well Australia did this time around making it our most ever golds achieved.

Achieving 4th place on the final tally is pretty amazing for a country of only 26 million people given the three countries above us have roughly 13x (USA) , 54x (China), and 5x (Japan) our population.
