[@richpickleball9730]

Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time and videoing the Gold Medal round for us to enjoy. Keep up the good work.

[@Liam_Maddog]

I feel sorry for the players and the ref trying to concentrate over that racket. Whoever decided to blast the music during a pickleball tournament needs to be fired.

[@ronbroberg3022]

Band was great.

[@abigaillesliedelisa6393]

go Sue!!

[@jimzimmerman5288]

Turn down that friggin music.

[@del5924]

Agreed. No need for it at all.

[@Bergarita]

Is this 55 plus or 65 plus??

[@pamkerckhoff3993]

I think it has to be 65+. I played in 55-59 and the team that beat us took silver. They aren’t playing in this match.

[@Bergarita]

@@pamkerckhoff3993 thanks for info. I thought they might actually be 65+

[@deandana8291]

Narrator at the beginning of video says it's 65+.

[@theresaearly4559]

If it’s 3.5. I am a 10!

[@jillcoster315]

The round guy in beige sweatshirt was just a whacker .He couldn’t move at all. Sadly the soft game was totally lost on these people. A couple tried but to no avail.

[@ronbroberg3022]

3.5 skill set

[@theresaearly4559]

Music is awful-Can’t believe this is a final!!!

[@akuuab]

The woman with knee brace just dragged the team down whole game. If I were the red shirt guy I'd be very disappointed.

[@roman2011]

More like 2 against 1. People play to win, not to get better.

[@markbaynes1527]

55?

[@billybenden4431]

The lady in the blue doesn't come up to the net

[@scottdaniels-rx2ql]

Too many mistakes with the guy in the Tye dye

[@barbaragraham4535]

3.5......nope!

[@villbuzeep2043]

Hopefully you meant they were well over 3.5. If winning gold 3.5 at Nationals isn't enough to be 3.5, I don't know what is.

[@dm11554]

Agree.

[@DaShap]

For their age, that was legit 3.5

[@TeamHanlonPickleball]

If you don't think this is 3.5+ playing, you don't know what you're talking about. This is the gold medal match at the toughest tournament in the world.

[@Vanessa-pe2xs]

If this is not at least 3.5, I must be a 2.0. This was awesome play, especially as they are seniors!

[@gentlehorst]

The sheer exite-meant of the audience cheering every move and point for a gold match ....

[@MD-hk8xq]

Bravo for them getting out there…unlike lazy arm chair commentators

[@gentlehorst]

@@MD-hk8xq lol. Sure. I just hoped some would show up to watch it. Later on I saw in the picture 1.5 people on the right-hand side and heard some clapping. But yes, Dallas is a bit too far for me to go to. (and it can not be me because I sit in an office chair 😜
