Perhaps a fine cognac would be called for in Paris. Maybe a Remy Martin Louis XIII.

Au. Nice touch. And I love the French mother/grandmother angle. I hope he lives his drram.

DT said it himself that he felt the fire slip away before OTT. Taylor would not have performed like he did last year.

Here is the pertinent section of he rule: i) If an athlete is injured and can’t continue the bout, he will lose the match by injury. The concerned athlete won’t have to attend the second weigh-in and he will be ranked based on the points that he earned until his injury. If the injured athlete is ready to compete for his next match, he has to receive the approval of the UWW Doctor. For all the other type of injuries or diseases that happen after the first day of competition and out of competition, the concerned athlete will have to attend the second weigh-in otherwise he will be eliminated of the competition and ranked last, without rank.

This guy?

Will it be anything like the recession predicted for 2023? If so, sign me up.

Everyone wants to be the next Stephen A. Smith. I would be ok with one less rather than one more.

Yes, and Taylor's statement was that he lost the fire. Without the fire he got worse.

Brooks gets the passivity point then bulldozes a double with 11 seconds to go to take a 3-0 lead into the break

AM Brooks in the PM

somewhere LJ Black is crying

Do you control the vertical and the horizontal?

looks that way to me too on the nbcsports page

Correct

There is that. And she didn't even make the semis.

Strong use of jape

Let's exclude the athletes that came in as household names with big marketing income like Simone Biles, all the NBA players, etc. My short list is: Leon Marchand - home country hero obviously, but also trains in the US so maybe can penetrate this market. Gabby Thomas - brains (Harvard biology major, masters in public health from Texas), glamour Olympic event (track), and has the looks of a model. Who is going to cash in on these Olympics?

@ionel who has gone farther? You on the bike? Or Katie Ledecky in the water (~29,300 miles)?

Somewhere someone asked something about US swimmers swimming for other countries. The bigger trend in swimming is foreign swimmers coming to the US to train, mainly through NCAA swimming. Six foreign athletes training in the US won 8 golds, 2 silver, and 4 bronze for 14 total medals (2.33 per swimmer). That is 5% of actual medals awarded. Relays bump actual medals up above what gets counted in a medals table. But the only foreign swimmer training in the US to win a relay medal was Marchand. So in this case, only the denominator is increased. The denominator is 219 (awarded to 125 swimmers, or 1.752 per swimmer). The US earned 69 total medals (again, actual medals) by 34 swimmers, or 2.03 per swimmer.

People can get particular about spelling around here. Zain wrestles Saturday morning.
