In response to "Weekend viewing. What did you play, see, Olympic watch - grade? -- nm" by Pippy

USNWT 2 matches: Incomplete, US women's softball: A+, 3x3 basketball: A, Women's Cycling Road Race: A for individual effort, F for teamwork, 4x100

Men's Free: Good god there's something about the physique of world class swimmers. They're so uh, functionally muscular?

I've no idea what to make of the US women's soccer team. They got justifiably worked by Sweden. Tough to do much if you spend the majority of the match in your third of the field and fail to convert the few chances you get. Yet, they were still ahead in the group, thanks in part to two own goals by an opponent who hadn't played a match in like a year and a half.

I watched our badminton competitors and the Men's double pair was just overmatched by a couple of giant Chinese guys. The US women's single competitor has an interesting background and sounds like she's kind of a handful. She's bounced around a few countries cause she seems to get in trouble with their coaches. Though she is probably the strongest representation the US has ever had in the sport.
