I caught the last bit of the women's basketball
France had a couple of spells when they just couldn't score, and USA got runs of 8 points or so.

France still nearly got back needing a 3 point basket to tie as the clock ran out. The girl shot the basket, but she was just over the line and only scored 2.

Having really enjoyed the Olympic games, I decided to watch 2 Documentaries on iPlayer.
"Linford" and "Daley"

Both bought back all kinds of memories and forgotten moments and the Linford Christie one was quite emotional.
I highly recommend both, even if it's just as a reminder, of how amazing these two athletes were.
And how both dealt with the fallout, after things didn't go so well, for them.

I've seen some highlights, which have been great, but I need to watch more of it. They are doing very well.
