Beautiful gold, so-so silver and shameful bronze: The running Olympics thread

The damage done in Augusta by that one still hasn't been forgotten.

 

Really? I can easily see that. I was very much a self-aware person at 16. Hell, to hear my mom tell it, I knew more then than anyone in the world.

 

The Japanese pitcher has to be a dude, right?

 

Ballgame!

Bustos a three-run HR!

 

And Bustos leaves the yard for a three-run home run.

US up 4-0.

Barsuk - It certainly appears so.

 

B.J. Upton thinks Bustos should have posed longer on that shot.

From AOL Sports:
Cejudo, crying the moment the match ended and wrapping himself in an American flag, defeated Tomohiro Matsunaga of Japan 2-2 on tiebreaker and 3-0 in the best-of-three match. Cejudo was 31st in last year's world championships, his only prior tournament at this level.
Cejudo, the son of undocumented Mexican aliens who bypassed a college career to try to become an Olympian, assures of the United States of winning a freestyle wrestling gold for the ninth consecutive Olympics at which it has competed.
The bronze medalists were last year's world champion, Besik Kudukhov of Russia, and Radoslav Velikov of Bulgaria. Kudukhov was pinned by Matsunaga in the semifinals.
Two years after U.S. coach Kevin Jackson called him the future of wrestling, the future became the present in a dazzling four-match flurry, making Cejudo the youngest American to win an Olympic wrestling gold medal.

None of the other 49 did it the way he did.
