With all the talent the WNBA now has, Taurasi should have never been chosen, as well as others. (All Star game, Olympic team was creamed!) She’s had her deserved time in the spotlight. Yes, go UConn! Now not selecting CC was a travesty. She’s the one that literally changing the sport, for the better. Charter air travel comes to mind. More players getting endorsements is another. She helping out in countless ways, if only the league would pull their head out of their @$$ and work WITH her, not AGAINST her.

Three other gymnasts replaced her in other disciplines.

Swimming and soccer are our sports. Both boys played soccer through high school and college. It was great to watch. We have also attended many swim meets. Butterfly and breaststroke are our faves.

Diving, swimming (used to be on university teams). Water polo. Gymnastics… etc there really is no sport at the Olympic level that does not fascinate me. I just turn the tv on when it begins including opening ceremonies and turn it off when it ends.

Tennis-Rafa Nadal----his last hurrah!!!

Women gymnastics, tennis, 100 meter track, trampoline if they still have it. Some swimming, rowing, high jump, diving. I'll basically be glued to my TV!!

They still have trampoline.

Looks like they lost the rail system due to sabotage. A quest on CNBC this morning described the venue as being in a war zone with all the police and barriers. Hopefully the opening ceremonies will go off safely.

What a great opening ceremony in Paris last night.

After seeing clips if the opening ceremony I've chose not to watch it.
