Sentinel Sports Final Friday, August 2, 2024 | | |
| | Nadia Comaneci was in attendance when Simone Biles made her case from the gymastics GOAT. It's hard to believe when she was winning gold in 1976 (the greatest Olympics on my lifetime), Comaneci was just 14. ... Technically, even with their best players away on Olympic leave, the Pride have yet to lose a game this season. Yes, the fell in penalty kicks in their final Summer Cup match, but they've never been bested in 90 minutes + stoppage time. Penalty kick "losses" don't really count. ... The Bucs are handing out really large checks this offseason. Tristan Wirfs is the latest to cash in. Still can't believe Baker Mayfield, on the strength of a mediocre 17 regular-season games, got $100M when he was almost out of the league a year ago. ... Katie Ledecky is stacking medals like Tony Montana with all those bricks of yayo on his desk. All she'd need is a cigar and a white suit. Now THAT would be a photo op. If only Sports Illustrated was still Sports Illustrated. ... It's Sha'Carri Richardson time for track and field in France.

They won one and lost two and ended the Summer Cup third in the group with 4 points. | | | Simone Biles remains peerless. Even when she's not quite perfect. The American gymnastics star edged Brazil's Rebeca Andrade during a tense Olympic all-around final on Thursday. | | | Never has a team succeeded so much on the field and tanked so badly at the gate as Tampa Bay's star-crossed franchise. | | | The deal, which runs through 2029, surpasses extensions signed this year by Minnesota's Christian Darrisaw (four years, $113 million) and Detroit's Penei Sewell (four years, $112 million). | | | The 27-year-old now has eight golds, four silvers and one bronze over four Olympics, with every intention of swimming on to Los Angeles in 2028. | | | The Americans (2-0) faced a loud, spirited pro-Belgium crowd that made up most of the 25,044 in attendance. The arena is about 30 minutes away from the country's border. | | | Nia Jax, who has lived and trained in Orlando for 10 years, loves the outdoors.
