Winning that 3rd quarter 23-5 certainly dismantled the Canadians.
And that 3rd quarter result is the best ever for a Nigerian basketball team (male or female) at the Olympics |

lovewins: Rena should bring in Tomi Taiwo at some point cause this is likely the only time we'll get to see her based on her decisions so far. Yes, let’s see her drain at least one 3-pointer |

I think I now know why the Falcons went thru the last WC unbeaten.
Our opponents - Canada, Australia, Republic of Ireland, England - were good teams with fantastic players. But those teams weren’t as technically gifted as Spain or Brazil.
In fact, our WC opponents were merely excellent athletes, but had no players in the mould of a Bonmati, Paralluelo, or Marta, who could create chances out of nothing with their on-the-ball touches or deft off-the-ball moves, which, ironically, played into Waldrum’s compact tactics. |

Naomi Girma completed 105 passes in that first half vs Japan!
That is the most number of passes completed by a player in a major tournament since that stat started being recorded in 2011.. |

Foreign Affairs › Harris Makes History As First Black Woman, Asian American Presidential Nominee by PDPGuy(op): 7:10pm On Aug 02, 2024 |
WASHINGTON - The party votes have been cast: Vice President Kamala Harris is officially the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee — making U.S. history as the first Black woman and first Asian American from a major party to win that designation.
Harris secured the Democratic nomination on Friday afternoon, receiving the majority of votes — at least 2,350 — from her party's delegates, just one day after voting opened. The Democratic National Committee held a livestream video hosted by Biden campaign aides and DNC chairman Jaime Harrison to mark the occasion.
"I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States," Harris said moments after she passed the delegate threshold during a Democratic party-sponsored livestream phone call. "Your dedication cannot be overstated. Your dedication to our country. I know we all feel this way so strongly. We love our country, we believe in the promise of America, and that's what this campaign is about."
Harris said she will officially accept the nomination next week, once the virtual voting period concludes on Monday. She added that she's looking forward to the Democratic National Convention that begins Aug. 19 in Chicago to "have an[i] opportunity to celebrate this historic moment together." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/02/kamala-harris-democrat-presidential-candidate/74631136007/ |

pocohantas: So she is a woman?
Has she been beaten by women in the past?
If I had seen her picture without any caption, I will say she looks like ladies and gentlemen.
But then, her condition is similar to the one I see in Nigeria where some women have beards right? Only that she is in sports. I am trying to get the issue here. In fact, she had lost 6 previous matches to her fellow women |

Nigeria just narrowly misses out on automatic qualification for the mixed 4x400 relay, as they finished 4th in their semifinal.
Hopefully, they will advance to the final as one of the fastest losers. |
