Subject: Re: The importance of the NCAA to Olympic sports Author: joiseyfan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:28:30 08/02/24 Fri In reply to: SpuytenDuyvil76 's message, "The importance of the NCAA to Olympic sports" on 06:39:30 07/23/24 Tue While US women’s water polo team obliterated France 17-5 today, Princeton junior Jovana Sekulic scored her fourth goal of the games. Alum goalie Ashleigh Johnson (referred to in passing as “the best goalie in women’s water polo history”) has 62% saves so far, way ahead of anyone else in the games, in her quest for her third gold. The two Tigers are the only non-Californians on the team. Quarterfinals next. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I just can't believe how fast these Olympic athletes can run that fast for nearly a mile. Got to admit............I love the track events.

I don't even know how you begin to train for that event it's just so tough. Amazing Olympic athletes!

As a throw-in, the US/Poland men’s volleyball semi today was one of the most exciting non-finals in any Olympic team sport I’ve ever seen. If you have a chance, see it.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: The importance of the NCAA to Olympic sports Author: RedWin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:01:56 08/08/24 Thu I have so enjoyed watching the Olmpics this year. My one regret is I didn't see Gabby Thomas run when she was at Harvard. She is a real tribute to the Ivy League! Agree the US/Poland volleyball game I watched while on the treadmill during lunch at work. The USA played really well, but Poland was an amazing team. I haven't played much volleyball but those shots by Poland were brutal! I just can't imagine trying to block or return those shots.
