RIO DE JANIERO — Venezuela slowed the pace, made the U.S. work on defense and trailed the mighty Americans by two points early in the second quarter.Then, the U.S. men’s basketball team turned up the defensive pressure and unleashed its powerful offense and turned that two-point lead into a 22-point halftime advantage.
Fair play is very much a human invention. Justice might feel like it answers a natural instinct, but it is not upheld by nature. Brazilian population are already angry about the cost of the Games.

The Australian Mack Horton beat Sun Yang into second place in the 400m freestyle, and immediately afterwards called him a drugs cheat. The Chinese Olympic Association have demanded an apology. Australia refuses to issue one. Who are straying into racist territory.
American Lilly King refused to acknowledge existence of Yulia Efimova, the twice-banned Russian who won silver, which is arguably more courteous than the crowd’s treatment of her, who have loudly booed week at any mention of her name. King had made her views plain.
