Then what is/was notable about it? I'm not familiar with what the tally's are or what they're expected to be

Idk I’m assuming the Aussies were ahead in the medal count at some point. Personally, I just wanted to say tallywacker.
Watched some of our wheelchair basketball game yesterday, pretty fun to watch actually and our team is filthy. Beat France by almost 40.

I don't think you would survive. But seriously, happy to assist with anyone making the trip with recs etc.
Kenny! Late but just watched the DL final race. He really wanted that and pulled it off. 19.67 for the 200m dub. Hell yeah. Hope he builds on this for next season.
got to Paris for the tail end of paralympic festivities. Has me juiced for Los Angeles. Zero chance any city can touch the setup here though. also this got me good just given how his olympics went Spoiler
Looks like this is the old Olympic Sports thread? M and W team XC rankings one week out from NCAA Regionals BYU looking really good. Their men taking down OK St at the Big 12 championship was super impressive Weird not seeing the NAU men top 2, but that's life without Nico Young and Drew Bosley for you. Heck of a run for them the past 9 years No mention of Nike dropping a huge bag to hire Mike Smith away from NAU to coach an elite group based in Flagstaff leading up to the LA Olympics? Hopefully the women can put a full squad together and give BYU, Washington and Oregon a real fight for the national title
BYU dominated at Dellinger near Eugene going 1st-5th, proving decisively they're the favorite, at least for races like Dellinger that are essentially more like grass roads than cross country courses. The NCAA should have rules against courses that flat and boring.
pretty incredible day for BYU yesterday, sweeping the men's and women's team XC titles in Madison NAU women gotta be disappointed because they led after 3K and 4K but then had some girls really drop off over the last 2K, which you don't expect from a team that trains at 7,000 feet all year. But still a 4th-place finish in a sport as hard as distance running is nothing to sneeze at Graham Blanks repeating as the men's individual champion is pretty bad ass. The previous three Americans to repeat as NCAA XC champs: Gerry Lindgren, Steve Prefontaine and Conner Mantz OK St finishing 8th is a bit of a WTF given how loaded they are and how dominant they were at last years championship. NAU men have to be pleased given they lost Bosley/Nico and still got a top-five finish and beat some really really good teams in the process. 6 titles and 2 runner-ups in 8 years was a ridiculous stretch from the Lumberjacks and now a new era begins with Mike Smith moving on to coach for Nike full-time men's team results/individual top 10 Spoiler women's team results/individual top 10 Spoiler
Including two in Germany, one in Switzerland, one in Austria, one in Norway, and one in Latvia, all of which would be a shitload closer than rural New York
so Reek can lose twice? I think 40m could’ve been super interesting as even though he’s the gold medalist, Noah’s start isn’t elite by pro standards. But his top end speed is going to absolutely obliterate Hill. Maybe a mini combine could’ve been cooler. 40m, 3 cone, bench, broad and high jump.
Didn't Usain Bolt run a sub 4 second 40 yard dash several years ago during some Superbowl event? I don't think he was in the middle of some track season training and he also had a very slow start and still made it look easy. DK Metcalf didn't get embarrassed but even he couldn't cut getting close to the top of the elite sprinters.
Yea, to silence the argument that reek runs on grass and that's harder crowd If you want a competition we know reek is gunna win, then yea, do a football skills thing
My point is that if an NFL player with a fast start races a world class sprinter with a slow start, it's still not going to matter nearly enough.
