Speaker 1 (00:00):
We continue here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred. All
right to the Olympics. For those of you wondering about
men's basketball against Brazil in the quarterfinals, it's supposed to
tip off about ten minutes from now, and we'll keep
you updated on that. Also getting underway this afternoon, which
would be nighttime Paris time, is a women's soccer summi
(00:25):
final between let me look here, I know it's Spain.
It is Spain and Brazil. So Spain and Brazil. The
reason why I bring that up is because the winner
of that is going to face the United States for
(00:47):
the gold medal.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The US women did it again.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They won their semifinal over Germany, and it was just
like with the win over Japan in the quarterfinals, they
had to get a goal in extra time to do it. It
was Sophia Smith who scored an extra time so they
win one nil and Team USA is.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
On to the championship round.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
By the way, that was Sophia Smith's third goal of
these Olympics. All three have come against Germany. She had
two against Germany in the medal in the pool play portion,
and Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman have combined
to score nine of the eleven goals to the United
(01:34):
States so far. So now, you know, like I said,
second game in a row where they got the key
goal in extra time to move on. So the US
is trying to win a fifth gold medal in the competition.
But you know what, they have not won a goal
medal in soccer, I believe since twenty twelve. I'll double
(02:00):
check that, but I'm pretty sure that not since twenty twelve,
they haven't won the gold. So it's huge for them
to move on into the championship round. And again they
are playing the winner of the matchup between Brazil and
Spain and the other the other semifinal. The men's basketball
(02:25):
team tips off in just a few minutes from now.
In fact, Brazil and s Paint have tipped off or
kicked off that magazine that that match in the semifinals
is underway, so they're underway early in that one, and
the United States will play the winner for the gold medals.
So they're definitely going to be playing for a medal.
Even if they had lost, because the advanced of the semifinals,
(02:47):
they still would have had the shot to play for
a bronze.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But they'll have a chance to play for the gold medal.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The United States men men's basketball can advance to the
semifinals and therefore clinch a spot where they would be
playing at the very least for bronze.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Medal with a win.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
But of course, obviously everyone in those who have watched
it closely and rooting for the US and understand the
basketball side of all of this, are expecting the US
to win, to advance, and to be the overwhelming favorite
(03:29):
to win the gold medal. But they've had some tight games,
as we know now they've been they've been pretty methodical
in winning their three games, in winning their three games
in the pool play round. So the United States, in
(03:49):
case you're wondering about the medal count, now they have
more medals and more gold medals at the last update,
let's see, yesterday they had a chance to let's see
in gold medal awarded Caroline marks One in women's surfing,
(04:15):
Valerie Almond one in the women's discus.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
That was really cool. She trains in Austin.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Now she did not go to the University of Texas,
but she just trained in Austin and she won gold
in the discus. Also, of course, the United States won
gold in the men's one hundred on Sunday with Noah
Lyles swimming, the women's four by one medley relay with
Reagan Smith who trains in Austin, Lily King, Gretchen w
(04:40):
Washing Tory Husky, the men's fifteen hundred meter freestyle, Bobby
Fink one, that's Kristin Faulkner, the Big Shocker, the Stunner
winning in women's cycling, and of course Scottie Scheffler winning
the gold in golf, and that was on Sunday, So
they've had the last two days have been pretty productive
for them. So in the history overall, in the history
(05:04):
of the Summer Olympic Games, the United States, which has
had far more success in the Summer Games than in
the Winter Games, and the United States have has won
more medals and more gold medals than any other country
(05:25):
in the world. And it's the same story going on
this year, where they're in excess now of seventy five
total medals and in excess of twenty five gold and
as it stands right now going into today, the US
has won all time, all time two thousand, six hundred
(05:45):
and fifty five medals in the Summer Olympics, by and
far the most ever by any nation. And if you're
wondering about gold, one thousand and seventy of the twenty
six hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Five of those are gold medals.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's a pretty uh, that's a pretty healthy percentage if
I just I'm going to Department of True Confessions using
the calculator here because I would not be able to
do this in my head. But of the two thousand
and six hundred fifty five all time medals the United
(06:27):
States has won in the Summer Olympics one thousand and
seventy year goal, that's forty percent. Forty percent of the
all time medals that the US has won in the
Summer Olympic Games have come have been gold medals. They've
been not just medals, they've been gold medals. They've also
won the most gold medals in athletics, which includes track
(06:48):
and field, road running, and race walking events as well,
so they've dominated those times. So here's what they've wont
This is the breakdown on this through last night all
time US gold medals that includes this year in the Olympics,
three last night, three hundred and forty seven in athletic
(07:09):
events like you know, the track and field events and
things like that. Okay, so three hundred and forty seven
in that, two hundred and sixty six in swimming, fifty
eight in shooting, fifty seven in wrestling, fifty in boxing,
forty eight in diving, forty three in artistic gymnastics, thirty
(07:34):
four in rowing, twenty five in basketball, twenty one in tennis,
nineteen in sailing formerly known as yachting in the Olympics,
sixteen in weightlifting, fourteen in archery, eleven in cycling or
tracks seven or cycling track excuse me like belodrum stuff
seven in beach volleyball, six in equestrian eventing, five in
(07:58):
artistic swimming, five in equestrian jumping. By the way, if
you were listening to the morning kickoff this morning with
my cardball Harge and also with the world strongest man Mark,
Henry Mark did reveal that of all the Olympics, the
one that he says puts him to sleep, that he's
really not into his equestrian.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
See.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Now, Mark would differ from Snoop Dogg on that because
Snoop and Martha Stewart were really into the whole dressage,
the whole thing, you know with the.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Question I saw Snoop dancing with the horse. Oh yeah,
that's great, he's big into it.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah. Equestrian jumping, the US is won five gold medal,
six and cycling, road racing, six in golf four in
our competition, six and fencing, four in soccer, volleyball, water polo,
three in canoe, sprint, softball, taekwon do two in canoe marathon, judo, rugby, surfing,
one in three on three basketball, one in baseball, one
(08:54):
in canoe slalom, one in BMX, cycle racing, one in
jou depom okay, one in Rokee, one in triathlon, in
one in tug of war back in the day when
they had tug of war. There's a big group of people,
by the way, are trying to get that back in
and more than just a demonstration sport. They want to
(09:14):
get it back in full, full long tug of war there.
So anyway, so there's there's the Olympic medal count for
the US. We'll keep you updated on the basketball team
which is just now tipping off its game against Brazil
in the quarterfinals, So we'll do that and some other
topics well. But up next we do have inconceivable, which
(09:37):
includes some Olympic ing things, because there's some things that
you might think are rather inconceivable. But we'll tell you
about those as they relate to the Olympics and other
items as well, when we continue here on sports Radio
