A Grip on Sports: There is a (good) chance this U.S. track and field group will go down as the deepest in Olympic history

A GRIP ON SPORTS • Funny thing about modern TV. More and more, short, bingeable series hit a crescendo before a season’s final episode. The bad guys are vanquished in the penultimate chapter or, at the latest, early in the finale. Then everyone celebrates, talks, and/or surveys the damage done in the ultimate battle. As the Olympics are the poster child of modern TV entertainment, why should they be any different?
