Really glad the USA coach not remembered for the goof.

 

[vol_in_ar]

agreed nice win

 

[TrueOrange]

why play 2 OTs when we won the first?...

sport's rules are to play 2 OT periods if there's a tie, followed by a shootout if needed

 

[vol_in_ar]

I'd really like to see Usain run THROUGH the finish line
He pulls up the last 30-40 yards

 

[Velo Vol]

crazy timeout the US coach took, to give Aus a chance

Epic facepalm.

 

[Velo Vol]

Saw a U.S. diver score a 0.0.

I could do that.

How did that happen? Did they do a cannonball?

Was it the guy who did the accidental back buster? I heard something about that on the radio, his foot slipped or something?

Women's beach volleyball will have an all-U.S. final after Kessy and Ross upset the #1 overall seed Larissa/Juliana from Brazil.

No, a German guy landed on his back. U.S. guy jumped off the side of the board and changed his dive to a real elementary one.
