Men’s Pommel Horse Final on E! right now!
What a win for Rhys McClenaghan for Ireland’s first ever gymnastics medal!
PS Google his name (I had to to make sure I had his last name spelt correctly) and watch what happens (don’t forget to throw some flowers!)
I did not see that coming. Rooth from Norway is officially the Greatest Athlete in the World. I thought is was going to Germany. But this was impressive.
And Ledecky added another gold to her pile. I think she will need a bigger shelf.
And yes, I do have the day off.
Somebody tore up the script for the final. I knew that including Femke Boll in the Netherlands squad would change things - I wasn’t expecting it to change the Gold medal recipients!
Dang. I was not planning on watching archery, but daaaaam. The American and the Korean wound up grouping all 10’s leading to sudden death. I didn’t know archery HAD sudden death. But given that there using bows and arrows, that makes sense.
Oop, and Korea was millimeters closer for the Gold. That was actually a nail-bighter.
Wow! Just…they are going to be talking about the Women’s Road Race tonight.
That was dramatic.
Right? What an upset! First gold for the USA in Road Race in 40 years. US hadn’t even metaled in the event at all since 84.
Missed that. Hope to see something tonight.
Split screening swimming and track at the moment
I watched some Team Foil this morning and simply couldn’t stand any more yelling and fist pumping but especially the arguing with the refs.
Guessing I’d be a terrible ref. What? Screw you, with your sloppy point work and hopping around! Out you pixies go, through the door AND the window!
Doubles in epee should be a 1 point subtraction for each fencer.
Men’s 4X 100 Relay.
DAMN.
Minor pet peeve.
I really wish folks would stop biting their medals.
Women’s 4 X100 relay
Double Damn. Well done!
I didn’t realize humble, lovable Shoeshine Boy was in the Olympics this year.
Well I guess I won’t get to see any more of the gymnastics live. Looks like the last session is at 3:30am here in the US.
Side note: US has finally won a couple of shooting medals.
This man is not pleased.
I just wish the silver and bronze winners would stop doing it, do they not realize the whole point is that it’s supposed to prove gold is real because it’s soft enough to bite? I don’t think that’s true of bronze.
