Duke and the 2016 Olympics

[chrishoke]

Give em hell Abby. Coverage today included many mentions of her studies in Duke Medical School and several shots of her assistant Duke football coach fiance. So cool.

Lindsey Harding finished with 16 points and 6 rebounds in 37 minutes as Belarus ended their tournament with a 74-66 loss to Australia.

Ibtihaj Muhammad and the rest of the Sabre team won the bronze medal.

Stefanie Fee and the United States lost 2-1 to Great Britain, but can still look forward to the quarterfinals.

As mentioned, Abby made the finals, which will start at 3:00pm ET on Sunday. Coverage will be live online again while NBC will pretend that it is live during primetime.

Kyrie and the team will face France at 1:15pm ET and will be on NBCSN.

Shannon Rowbury has her 1,500m semifinal starting around 8:30pm ET. Full coverage will be online, but I would expect it also to be shown on NBC, but you never know with them.

Rowbury looked very strong. Into the finals.

There was a very nice interview of Ibtihaj on NBC right on copacabana talking about her success as a women, a Muslim and an African American.

Abby finished her career with a 12th place performance.

Shannon stayed in control in her race and qualified in relative comfort.

Kyrie's situation seems to be adequately covered elsewhere.

Monday's schedule is light with Stefanie Fee and the United States facing Germany in a quarterfinal at 11:30am ET on NBCSN.

[awhom111]

Stefanie Fee and the United States lost 2-1 to Germany in the quarterfinals.

Tuesday action starts with Rebecca Quinn and Canada facing Germany in the semifinals at 3:00pm ET and can be seen on NBCSN.

Shannon Rowbury's 1,500m final is scheduled for around 9:30pm ET and will be live on NBC, except for in places like her and my hometown of San Francisco, where we can see it delayed if not online.

Rebecca Quinn did not play as Canada lost 2-0 to Germany and will now try to get the Bronze Medal.

Women's Golf finally starts on Wednesday for Laetitia Beck and Leona Maguire. GOLF Channel has coverage starting at 6:30am ET with some live pre-round coverage too, running through the whole round with live post-round coverage ending at 5:00pm ET.

Kyrie takes the court at 5:45pm ET and will be on NBCSN again.

Thanks for that - great pic.

"Have you seen the basketball coach and the fencer?"

"Yeah, they are at the golf course."

"Makes sense to me."

[awhom111]

Kyrie's game is obviously being covered in the other thread.

Leona sits at +3 and Laetitia is at +4 after the first round with the leader at -6 and the next two in medal position at -5.

GOLF Channel has coverage of the whole round again, with a 90 minute show at 5:00am ET before the action and then running live coverage all the way until 5:00pm ET.

[nmduke2001]

Leona with a really good 6 under 65 today. She's put herself in good position heading into the final two days. She's now 5 shots out of medal contention.

Fantastic news !! Good luck to Leona and to Letitia too. Any more word on whether or not Leona is turning pro? Is she coming back to Duke this Fall?

[awhom111]

Leona with a really good 6 under 65 today. She's put herself in good position heading into the final two days. She's now 5 shots out of medal contention.

Laetitia was -1, which leaves her at +3 for the tournament.

Their third rounds will be covered on GOLF Channel from 5am ET to 5pm ET.

Rebecca and Canada try to beat the hosts to win a medal at 12pm ET and can be seen on MSNBC.

As usual, Kyrie and team can be seen on NBCSN at 2:30pm ET.

[burnspbesq]

Rebecca Quinn collects bronze as Canada beats Brazil, 2-1.

[awhom111]

Leona was +3, which dropped her back to even par. Laetitia was at par on the day and still sits at +3.

The final round will be covered on Saturday on GOLF Channel from 5am ET to 1pm ET.

[awhom111]

Leona was -2 to finish tied for 21st. Laetitia was -1 to move to +2, which is good for a tie for 31st.

In mentioning the Men's Basketball game tomorrow, at least NBC has decided to air daytime coverage on these two days live in all timezones.

I came across this editorial about Ibtihaj Mugammad on a political website I visit. I hesitate to post it, since we discourage partisan political discussion on these boards. But since it's about a Duke Olympian -- and very laudatory towards her -- I thought some here might want to read it. Just be warned, it is a very liberal view, using Mohammad as a counterbalance against Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric:

Did anyone else notice how coach K went around to each of the players and coaches and thanked them for the fine effort they made in winning the gold medal. It occurred just as the game was coming to a conclusion. A real touch of class and what endears coach K to some many of his fans.
