Hey everyone my name is Travis and i will be the writer here on pure tv sports. Sports is probably the most watched thing on televison overall so its fitting that we have plenty to talk about.
Soo lets start with the obvious and easy things..the Olympics.. and well for the most part all you can say about Michael Phelps is DAMNNNN the man is possesed and we dont need to get into that because we all know it.. but damn.. also the Redeem Team is looking great winning games by an average of over 30 points, there was a ton of uncertainty about USA basketball after the past 8 years with no international championships but once again the americans look poised to dominate the games and bring home a huge gold that basketball fans in america needed. Next i took a look over at track and field and the one and only Usain Boldt. For everyone who got a chance to see this guy do his thing in the 200 and 100 you cant help but be taken back at watching a human being move that fast without wheels. As far as the americans are concerned in track and field … they have been overall doing fairly well with medal sweep in the mens 400 and also with medals in the womens and mens hurdels. As Far as non Phelps aquatics are concerned the Chinese have dominated the diving which seems natural the American womens waterpolo team has looked very good and the mens waterpolo team has also looked strong showing a 4-1 record. Next we go to volleyball where the American sand volleyball team of Rogers and Daulhausser are in the Gold Medal Game against Brazil while the womens sand team looks just as good and is also getting ready to play in the gold medal game, while the men and womens indoor teams have both advanced out of pool play and each have won their first quarterfinal matches. Overall so far America is leading the medal count by four but are trailing the gold medal count by 19 to China who has 45 golds… this gap should narrow here in the next couple weeks with the strongest american sports closing out. well i will close this out with a clip of the week , this has been my favorite moment of the olympics so far with two great NBA superstars hooking up to make an awesome play.
