Flora Duffy won the Gold in the triathalon, making Bermuda the smallest country to ever get Gold (at least in summer Olympics, not sure about winter).

The drone show made me think of this. This is much more entertaining and natural.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

USA wins men’s beach against Brazil 2 sets to one. Dahlhausen made many service errors.

Here's video of Lydia Jacoby's win.
There's a great article in the Anchorage Daily News about Lydia and her swimming journey. She still has a year to go in High School.
Quote:
Seventeen-year-old Lydia Jacoby of Seward became an Olympic champion in dramatic fashion Monday in Japan to become the first American woman to win a gold medal in swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
In third place midway through the women’s 100-meter breaststroke, Jacoby unleashed what has now become her signature fast finish to surge to a stunning victory at the Tokyo Aquatics Center.
Don't miss that Twitter clip (above post) of the watch party in Seward. Kind of thrilling to see so much excitement in a good way. ~z

The DR vs Japan baseball game was great, especially last couple innings.
Large advantage Japan. They’ve shut down their major leagues and picked the best.
Two Rainiers are playing, one for the D.R., one for the U.S.

Beach Volleyball does not require bikinis they are what the participants want. It is hot and Sandy. It is legal to wear Tees or most anything. There are also religious exceptions. My daughter is very into the beach community at Hermosa beach and knows several of the competitors present and former. BTW US beach women were undefeated in their pool B.

US Women's soccer lost in the semifinal to Canada. Can still win Bronze. End of an era, this will be the last Olympics for several team members.

Incredible gold in the show jumping, a huge technical course and in the timed jump off, the horse is so freakish that he can cut corners and come into the fences crooked and still go clear. Gravity does not know his name. They need to make the podium bigger......

Wish I could have caught the France-Slovenia men's basketball game. Hopefully I will get to see the gold medal game tomorrow, not sure what time or if it's broadcast live? With so many things going on with the games, it's really hard to pinpoint when an event happens and if it is a live telecast.
