Did you watch it? The US cyclist had a 31 second lead with around 8km remaining, ended up finishing fourth because she just didn't have anything left in the tank for about the last 3km. So with about 400m left the pack of 3 that had been following her whizzed past her just then.
yea, I saw it- it was really stunning as they had not shown her for a while as she gaped the US rider. Almost immediately as they showed her- it was over the handlebars, and into a slump on the side of the road.
THEN the chase you mention. That was exciting- just like many Tour races I've watched where the breakaway was caught- but more heart breaking, as it was fewer riders, and 250m (I thought) from the end. My wife kept telling me to stop talking to the TV- as I was egging her on from thousands of miles away.
It was almost an exact copy of the day before with the mens races- some compelling racing there!

Last night got me really wound up just as I went to bed. The 4x100 happened just as extra time was ending- I wish I had picture-in-picture to see both. So very exciting to watch!
In the lower levels of baseball when a team leads by 10+ runs after the fifth inning the game is over and that team wins. In the past this was known as the Mercy Rule. I propose we call that a Ledecky from now on.

They could've used a mercy rule in the US - Senegal women's basketball game. Ended 121 - 56. If the US had been shut out in the second half, they would have won by eight.
Geno must have felt right at home. Sounds like a score of a typical UConn game.
Is that the equivalent in hockey terms of Greece and Canada playing to a tie in Montreal?
Probably more akin to Latvia or Germany taking Finland or the US. Iraq isn't particularly terrible, especially at the U23 level the Olympics are played at, and Brazil has been a mess the last 4 years or so.
But let's be real...There are 40 some other teams and only two alaskan teams...the day one of us wins something big will be the day I transfer to UAA

Not quite, but close. Iraq has made the World Cup a few times recently, and the men's tournament in the Olympics is a glorified youth tournament: teams are only allowed three over age players. So maybe more like Germany playing Canada to a tie in the world juniors.
