AK Sucks in Olympics Operner Vs. GB -- only scores 35

I thought on fouls 2 and 3 on him he didn't touch the guy.
Around the same time, he had a lot of contact on some layups without a call.
Too bad he wasn't 100%, I thought he looked a little slow, I assumed he was just getting older... and well, maybe that's what happens when you are older and you try to play as fast as ever, you always have quad injuries.
What the heck is with Spain hitting opponents in the head 3 seconds after the play is over?
That pisses me off, they should be punched.

Funny, I've rarely heard of quad injuries in sports as compared to say, hamstring injuries.
 
It's frustrating when the team I am rooting for gets a big lead, all they have to do is grind it out, and they promptly starting turning the ball over and missing 3s.

You are right, hamstrings are injured way more often. Quads are usually not strained or pulled, you get quad contusions after somebody knees you. ( thats I believe injury AK sustained playing vs LT ).
 
If you sprint hard, you can injure your quad without being kneed.
I suspect that Andrei's style of play might make him more prone to this injury that the typical player.

In such low scoring game few made 3's makes huge difference. Calderon got hot in 3 quarter and it was over. Spain was aggresive on defense and even if some no calls where were questionable Russia's offense stalled. Plus they turned the ball way to much giving easy points at the end.

I used to sprint and train with sprinters, our most common injuries were hamstring strains/tears. Quads are easier to train and thats what happens, quads get stronger and hammies can't keep up during sprint and tear. Not saying it is not possible to injure quad during sprint but certainly it is very rare.
 
okay, amend my statement to include quads and hams as a group.
it was not my intention to distinguish between them.
my point is that when you get older, you are more prone to injuries just doing things you used to be able to do without injury
