I really feel for the athletes who had medaks won, but fell or something at the last second...your right RMM too many babies...the real winners were the fans they were treated to some fine showings.. hope the Para - Olympics get good coverage,,,,they deserve it... Hope the World comes to-gether for them too

All the hockey games have been very close Usa won the only real blow out 5-0 over south korea...they played real well, will be a top contender for sure.. My oh my these players work so hard... Goal keepers sure have it tough..
