Paris primer for this Monday in the second full week at the Paris Olympic Games
00:10
Getting underway started bright and early on this Monday DRS as we shared in the final event of the women's gymnastics
00:18
event finals
00:19
That was the floor exercise Simone Biles takes home a silver medal her 11th
00:25
Olympic medal in her three times at the Games in
00:29
2016 in Rio the all-around gold the team all-around gold
00:34
2021 came with its mental struggles and adversity for Biles who returned at the age of 27
00:41
unheard of in Olympic
00:44
Gymnastics she was back this year won the all-around in the team and the individual her second gold medal in both of
00:51
Those and she takes home a silver on the floor on what might have been her final day of
00:57
Olympic competition in her women's gymnastics career
01:00
Yeah, the way you go right off into the sunset
01:03
I'm pretty sure it's gonna make a lot of money here post career just taking down all of those accolades
01:08
Which is fantastic and what are you gonna do the rest of your life 27?
01:11
Hey, man, the world's your oyster at that point BWS. Most of us are retiring in our 60s. We retired at 27
01:17
That's pretty good
01:19
Yeah, absolutely is let's get into some of the other action that you can expect today at the Olympiad men's soccer tournament that you
01:27
23 youth tournament semifinal games Morocco versus Spain
01:32
France versus Egypt the host nation is there with an opportunity to win gold France has already won 12 gold medals
01:40
By the way, they are having a huge host nation glow up and performing well over there in Paris
01:47
King Leon out here. Maybe he can get there and says the other 23 years under 23
01:52
He might be able to get out of your soccer kit
01:54
Yeah, there you go get out there in the soccer kit and roll
01:56
But I do think France probably still the best of what's left over here at this point
01:59
Also, maybe you are getting a little that home cooking here that home court advantage home pitch advantage
02:04
I should say we'll see how it plays out. But for me, it's probably France the rest of the way
02:08
France a hefty favorite at minus 800 to reach the final over
02:13
Egypt Spain a slight favorite over Morocco the Moroccans
02:18
dismantled Team USA on Friday or
02:21
over the weekend the French and even money plus 100 favorite to win the gold in men's soccer the women's soccer
02:28
Tournament quarterfinals will be tomorrow Team USA takes on Germany a minus 225 favorite
02:35
Spain greater than a $4 favorite in the other
02:39
Semi-final against Brazil and the Spanish side the gold medal favorites in front of the Americans
02:46
First week of the Olympic Games Donny is in the pool. It is swimming that dominates this week
02:52
It's the athletics of the track and field
02:56
Competitions yesterday the fastest man in the world. That was Noah Lyles round one
03:01
He's get underway today for the 200 meter sprint Noah Lyles looking to do a rare feat
03:07
That's win gold in both the 100 meter and the 200 meter
03:11
He is a heavy favorite because of that closing speed that was on display in the 100 meters sprint to win the 200 meter
03:19
gold medal as well
03:20
So that is what it's half a track is basically what that is
03:23
What it was gonna be running the 200 if the hundreds like what one straight away. I
03:29
Believe so you keep asking me questions like I'm on this. I don't you said you covered this out
03:35
And yeah, I said you covered this out in Omaha. So that's why I'm asking you supposed to be authority. You're on that work shot put
03:41
Talked about a shot put you're on the same field. Yes point. You look around it is
03:46
Taped out. All right. Yeah
03:48
Halfway around the track
03:50
Would you say that our track and field sprinting coverage is still better than the broadcast to your stateside and what they play?
03:56
100 meter dash. Okay, good. I mean, come on now at least I mean we can we know how to let it breathe out here
04:01
You guys want us to miss a segment or two? We'll do that
04:03
We'll let this segment breathe all the way through we are professionals at that. Yes, I would say we are better than this
04:09
We have earnest and transparent
04:12
Conversations live on air if we don't know something with certainty to begin. We don't offer a decisive statement
04:19
We learn we have a keel
04:21
Back, you might know that goes with track. Exactly. Yep. No doubt about it. No doubt about it
04:26
We've got the distance running today in the women's finals as well gold medal finals in the five thousand meter
04:33
In the 800 meter 5,000 meter just seems miserable
04:37
They say the 400 meter though DRS by for the hardest because it's just one sprint but all the way
04:44
Yeah around the track. So it's sprint its endurance. It's an absolute you are gassed by the time you are done
04:51
Yeah, I again shout out to these people. I keep on talking like the long distance in the pool
04:55
It's the same thing like hey, what is your Olympic event now granted any one of those is certainly gonna be tough
05:00
But I imagine like it's a little bit different training protocol when you run the 100 meter as opposed to the distance races like hey
05:07
How you gonna train today? We're gonna do some weights here
05:09
I'm gonna work on my like first 20 yards like you don't get to work on your first 20 yards when you're running distance like
05:13
Yeah, I'm gonna go run 18 miles today to get my body ready
05:17
So shout out to the people doing distances in any sport
05:20
You are a much better man or woman than I am straight up at that point. I can't handle it. Yeah
05:26
I mean, it's insane. I completely agree with you also three on three
05:32
gold medal games in basketball the United States women's team
05:36
Getting to the semi-final round both the semi-finals and the finals are today
05:41
The United States will take on Spain Canada takes on Germany the American men
05:46
bounce from metal
05:49
Deterioration
05:50
Disappointing stuff DRS led by Jimmer for debt that was battling injury for the Americans at the summer games
05:56
I mean, come on now
05:58
This is the one of those true sports that you would line up like, you know
06:00
a team USA's women's sock women's soccer team could beat the men's soccer team and I think the women's three on three could beat the
06:06
Men's three on three. How about that embarrassing efforts by both of those?
06:09
Congratulations to the women holding us up there. So maybe we can get a medal
06:14
Listen as we learn on the fly in a way the reason that it's difficult for the United States men's team to put out a
06:22
Guaranteed and solid three on three product is because of FIBA rules that during
06:28
Qualification if you play for an NBA team even a G League roster or one of the highest levels in Europe
06:34
You are not available for qualification
06:36
So it's guys that really haven't been able to crack it in pro leagues that are now out there
06:42
Representing team USA might we be able to make some of those changes ahead of the 2028 games in Los Angeles
06:49
We shall see the United States women by the way a two-and-a-half point favorite against Spain in that
06:55
Olympic semifinal action in three on three women's hoops
06:59
Yeah, we're looking forward to it. Wait gold medals, man
07:02
That's what we're striving for right now the rest of the way how many medals can we win in this?
07:05
We're gonna exceed our expectations. I think we just might this year Ben. I think we're on pace
07:09
I hope so. I hope so DRS
07:12
We are certainly on pace 72 as of last check earlier this morning and we added on a couple of medals in
