Peacock shows the olympics in USA. They show medal standings in such a way that USA is at the top wit 125 total medals lol. They don't care what the world thinks. They can name a sport soccer. They can have their own basketball rules.

This was the attempt to clear 2.38 meter. Both tried twice. This was third attempt. At the last second bailed out. lol

USA 8-0 on a roll. France is in a panic mode.

Clutch 3 pointer by a france. Now tied at 43 after 3rd quarter

[vvvslaxman]

Never mind free throw put USA above France after 3rd quarter.

[vvvslaxman]

France is giving USA a run for money. Even though USA has won 5 olympics in a row they still feel the pressure.

NBA is missing their own steph curry. Not many three pointers from what i have seen so far.

[vvvslaxman]

That was not a foul. USA is fuming

[vvvslaxman]

USA is in panic mode. They are making unforced errors.

Pressure is the biggest player in the game. I thought in countries like US they work on sports psychology but pressure gets to everyone.

[vvvslaxman]

France is 9 out of 9 in free throw. Amazing. Even men don't have that kind of consistency.

They have won 8 out of last  9 olympics. They are still likely to be under pressure when challenged.

Women's team have to find their own steph curry. 

[vvvslaxman]

Match is getting interesting with 4 minutes to go. 

[vvvslaxman]

France is making less errors a reason why they are giving USA a run for their money. USA is making a lot of simple mistakes.

Crowd's presence is playing  a big role in these games.
