One thing I�m really enjoying about the Olympics is that the |
|
athletes seem a bit more loosened up. And the memes, of course. |

Mondo Duplantis wins another gold medal and sets another world |
|
record in the pole vault. Talk about "league of his own." |
|
This is where I remember how much fun it was to watch his dad, |
|
Greg Duplantis, at track meets in high school. I was a crappy |
|
long jumper at another school; we'd see Lafayette High at meets. |
|
Everybody would just watch Greg. Now it turns out his kid is |
|
better than him. |
|
L-S-U!! L-S-U!! L-S-U!! |

I loved seeing how excited Rebecca Andrade was to win gold on |
|
floor and the Italian woman on beam. |
|
And the Americans showed such respect to Rebecca which was nice |
|
to see. |
|
Actually there was a lot of congratulations among and across all |
|
the teams in gymnastics somewhat less so among the swimmers and |
|
track athletes. |

A whale got its turn in the spotlight on the last day of Olympic |

surfing. |
|
Cool photo and video. |

I've been watching some of the surfing but missed this one. |

Great article, too. Biles is enormously talented and |
|
extraordinarily generous. |

Romania challenged Chiles� bronze, claiming a technicality- the |
|
US challenge was made too late. Apparently on review the US |
|
challenge was clocked in a 1 minute and 4 seconds. Challenges |
|
need to be made within 1 minute. So it looks like Chiles lost |
|
the bronze even though she earned it score-wise. Sort of. |
|
Based on this article, the scores were switched back to the |
|
original, which placed a Chiles in 5th. |
|
What a messed up situation. A mistake by the judges isn�t |
|
rectified due to a technicality. But rules are rules? |
