Paris 2024 Summer Olympics: Wednesday PM - Alcaraz/Nadal fall to USA in Team Doubles, Katie Ledecky wins 1500M free in record-breaking time 🥇🥈🥉

[darthska]

Just tuned in to this USA women's volleyball match (is this live?), but this China team putting in work.

Not looking good for USA.

Down 0-2, USA has came back to tie it up 2-2 ever since I turned it on.
Not saying, just saying.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[darthska]

13-9 in the 5th set to 15.
Not looking good for USA vs China.

 

[Sinner]

That was highly entertaining!

Thought the momentum had swung to Team USA after coming back from 2 down!
Good recovery from Team China!

 

[darthska]

China does it, 15-13 in the 5th set.
Not an elimination, but what a comeback and what a match.

Zhu Ting looking back like her 2016 Rio best player in the world form

 

[Xennial]

wow 2 falls on high bar for China

Summer McIntosh time

 

[IATT]

Biesel so much better and natural at this than any of the other people they bring in outside of rowdy

Summer McIntosh time

She crushed it

No beating her world record from May in this pool but that was dominant

 

[Sinner]

I'm exhausted after watching them...
And that was only the 400m.

 

[Xennial]

IATT who wins more gold in Paris between Marchand or Summer?

 

[darthska]

Summer McIntosh time

Grimes gave it a run but holy hell, Summer.

 

[IATT]

She crushed it , won it so casually

No beating her world record from May in this pool but that was dominant

You can really gauge just how slow the pool is with her

Look at her times from Canadian trials where she basically just had to show up, so she wouldn’t have really adjusted her training much like say athletes from US and Australia

But she wouldn’t have been fully rested, tapered and maybe even shaved there

Titmus probably didn’t fully rest and taper for Australian trials either

 

[Sinner]

Popovici! Wow.

 

[friscostylez]

swimming events >>>

 

[IATT]

That was a whole lot closer than I thought it would be

And thought Hobson would take it because he probably usual has that best last 50

 

[Cashflow]

Hobson was right there

 

[IATT]

IATT who wins more gold in Paris between Marchand or Summer?

Good question.. I wanna see if Marchand actually does the 200 fly/200 breast double

But given how slow the 100 breast was, dude could have legit been a threat in that (but schedule screws that with the 400 IM) and has to be the favorite right now in the 200 breast.. but thst’s a tough double doing that after the 200 fly and have to see what form milak is on for the 2 fly

But I think only Katie Douglass is a real threat to mcintosh in the 2 IM.. and then 2 fly won’t be easy with regan smith

 

[darthska]

Popovici! Wow.

If I heard the announcer correctly, she said that was the first gold medal won by a Romanian man at the Summer games.

 

[IATT]

Hobson was right there

Race was perfect for him to sneak it out

Even in a slow pool popovici shoulda walked that in like 1:43 high like right around 1:44 flat

 

[Sinner]

If I heard the announcer correctly, she said that was the first gold medal won by a Romanian man at the Summer games.

I thought I heard our comms said that it was his first gold... but I think both can be true!

 

[IATT]

Xennial that’s not a great sign for popovici in the 100 free


Either Chinese dude (I think he was the only sub 47.5 on the leadoff of the relays) or Kyle chalmers (his insane anchor split) gotta be the favorites
