After the first weekend at the 2016 Summer Olympics the favorites have established themselves by smashing all comers!  Before the games were officially opened, the USWNT opened up the soccer tournament with a 2-0 victory over New Zealand, basically continuing what they did during last years Women’s World Cup.

Not to be overlooked, the USA men’s basketball team opened the tournament by destroying China 119-62, and it really wasn’t even that close.

And not to be outdone, the USA women’s basketball team broke their own record by scoring 121 points against a defenseless team from Senegal.  Senegal managed only 9 points in the first quarter, so as you can imagine, this was like a Mike Tyson fight, if you missed the introductions, you missed everything.

And last but not least, the fierce 5 of the U.S. Women’s gymnastics team (Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Ally Raisman, Laurie Hernandez, and Madison Kocian) put the hammer down in the qualifying round of the team all-around title.  Simone Biles just continues to show and prove that she is the best in the world, while her fellow teammates are more than holding their own.

As far as the individual all-around title goes, the U.S. had the top 3 after the first night of competition (Simone Biles, Ally Raisman, and Gabby Douglas), but only 2 get to go to the all-around final.  Unfortunately that means that the young lady in 3rd place, which happens to be the defending champ Gabby Douglas, will not get to defend her title.  This shows you how deep this team is.

As the week progresses, the action will get even better.
