I just learned that a coworker of mine has a niece or cousins (I wasn’t paying really close attention) on the women’s US gymnastics team. She’s the mookie-bait from St. Paul.

So lets talk about some of the sports....
Not a big fan of adding more and more judged sports....
But the odd one 3x3 basketball. How in the world did pick up basketball make it as a Olympic sport???? This is NOT basketball- this is a small, half court, game, played like the racket games- with rounds.Comment

US didn't even qualify on the men's side, they got upset in qualifiers. The team was Robbie Hummel (currently a broadcaster), Dominique Jones (playing in China), Joey King (looks like he last played 5x5 in 2017 in Finland and has been doing 3x3 tournaments since), and Kareem Maddox (on and off between radio/podcast production and playing in Europe).Originally posted by MichVandal View Post

With so many sports to accommodate, it not surprising that the next bid was more an appointment. What are you going to do with a 3x3 basketball arena? Unless it's played outdoors- which it should be. Heck, watching some of the fluff pieces, Tokyo has a brand new field hockey stadium- what are they going to do what that?? It's huge, and nobody will ever be able to watch a match. Not that I'm suggesting to get rid of field hockey- but adding MORE events that need it's own, unique stadium seems pretty dumb.Originally posted by aparch View PostComment

They do, but that stadium sure didn't look temporary.Originally posted by Jimjamesak View Post
At least the 3x3 can be played in a large convention center- since they commonly play mid-season tournaments in one for the NCAA.Comment
