So, looks like having the #Olympics in #Rio2016 was worth it for #BRA after all with the #football #gold, huh? #Neymar sure thinks so!

I mean, what else is left to say? I think he looked a little disappointed?(!) But we weren't! #TripleTriple, here we go! #Usain #Bolt #200m

Meanwhile, in the most underappreciated sports story, #Ichiro #Suzuki gets #3000 hits. Great (stat) achievement; what #baseball is built on.
