Curry, Durant and James with one last in them.  Not super confident in our 2028 chances.  Tons of athletic 2/3s, which is what finally did us in in 2004.  We just kept trying to out athlete everyone.  Aside from Embiid, who is always a crapshoot with his health, I dont see where our PG/3 point shooting/rim protection is coming from.  A lot of guys that want to take you off the dribble.  Granted if they buy in on defense, we should be really good guarding 1-4

The women are doing what the pundits were afraid would happen to the men.

If UF was a country, we'd be 16th in the medal count.

Man even the finish of the women's marathon was awesome. I can't believe both those women were sprinting

Anyone ever been to the Olympics? 2028 is in LA and I might be persuaded to go. I know a lady who went to Paris this year but haven't talked to her yet.
I went to Vancouver in 2010. Stayed at a friend's house in Everett, WA, then drove up and back in a day. Went on the first Tuesday and saw the first USA group hockey game. It remains the most money I ever spent on a ticket to a sporting event, and I'm glad I did it. Even though it took those games a while to get its feet under it, the mood in town was super friendly and a lot of fun. 

My in laws are in the entertainment industry in LA, and my wife and I are fully intending to go to events.

It’s always a little melancholy when the Olympics are over. I really enjoy watching them and then realizing that it will be four more years before we see Summer Olympics. By then my hair and metabolism will be 100% gone.

Agree.  But that's why I'm actually glad they split the summer and winter Olympics off the same year.  We have to wait 4 years for another summer games, but only 2 years for the next Olympics.  That's at least some relief.
