The funny thing is this is the oldest roster they've had in the last four Olympic cycles, the only one over 30 years old, and it's entirely because of Taurasi. Replace her with Clark or Ogunbowale and it becomes the 2nd youngest.
Could team USA have a more obnoxious outfit to wear? Terrible. Stereotypical in the worst of ways.
I kind of get where kep comes from in his anti US stance for the games.
I wonder how a US handball team would do if you took the next 12 guys from the NBA who didn't make the basketball team. In a way it's just swinging the ball along the perimeter waiting for an iso drive, and all those guys can jump insane distances inside the 7m line.
Jimmy Fallon has an amazing talent for ruining moments.
Fact. I really enjoyed him on SNL back in the day and I can tolerate him as a late night host. All that should have happened was giving him first crack at Olympians to interview on his show after the Games. In his five Moments he shared in studio with Mike Tirico, the clip of Steph Curry was ALL ABOUT HIM. And if he said "THAT'S how it's done" one more time, I was going to throw something at my TV.
I was disappointed in the Closing Ceremonies. I thought they were boring. I did like the floating Olympic rings but jeez, it took FOREVER to get it to the end. THe band Phoenix was kind of meh. I thought the presentation of the Greek flag and the playing of their anthem was a little weird, but at least they showed it. They don't always do that.
Trying to think if I'm going to be in any position to make it to LA in 2028. I reeeeeeally want to go to an Opening Ceremonies.
2nd youngest and a better team. They were so confident they thought they could bring a useless player and win. I guess it worked but didn't help prepare a youngster for LA.
Thanks to their original stance, I didn't bother to watch the end. I tire of having my expectations raised because of what they tell me only to have them be so very wrong. Same thing happened for both mens and womens BB teams. And womens soccer. And some for mens.

I’m a little curious about what USA Team Handball is going to do for 2028. USA Rugby has had a lot of success recruiting athletes from other sports that were just off making Olympic teams. Like everything in the US, just need to find the funds for it.I was thinking take the 12 best NCAA defensive backs.
TBF, Closing Ceremonies are typically boring and unmemorable. The only one in my lifetime I can remember anything from was London 2012 and that’s because of all the music acts.I was disappointed in the Closing Ceremonies. I thought they were boring.

Well enjoy the Olympics now because it sounds like the Saudis and Qataris are bidding hard for 2036.
I get your point, lol.You're definitely giving kep a run for his money.
We always knew Saudi was going to bid once the next couple of rounds were selected. I think they have a better chance than Qatar getting them. And if nobody else bids (just speculating), what choice does the IOC have?
So the "Summer" Olympics in Nov/Dec/Jan?
