Canada eliminates the US ladies soccer team. Canada plays Sweden for Gold later this week…
Took down the juggernaut USA. Congrats to them. Our ladies always do well. Too bad it's not a gold this year...
I think the gap will close each year. When women's soccer first became a sport, the US investment in it was pretty substantial compared to the rest of the world, I believe. But that is closing. We will dominate less and less each year.
At an extraordinary Olympics, acts of kindness abound
By SALLY HO
Today
TOKYO (AP) — A surfer jumping in to translate for the rival who’d just beaten him. High-jumping friends agreeing to share a gold medal rather than move to a tiebreaker. Two runners falling in a tangle of legs, then helping each other to the finish line.
In an extraordinary Olympic Games where mental health has been front and center, acts of kindness are everywhere. The world’s most competitive athletes have been captured showing gentleness and warmth to one another — celebrating, pep-talking, wiping away one another’s tears of disappointment.
Kanoa Igarashi of Japan was disappointed when he lost to Brazilian Italo Ferreira in their sport’s Olympic debut.
Not only did he blow his shot at gold on the beach he grew up surfing, he was also being taunted online by racist Brazilian trolls.
The Japanese-American surfer could have stewed in silence, but he instead deployed his knowledge of Portuguese, helping to translate a press conference question for Ferreira on the world stage.
The crowd giggled hearing the cross-rival translation and an official thanked the silver medalist for the assist.
“Yes, thank you, Kanoa,” said a beaming Ferreira, who is learning English.
Days later, at the Olympic Stadium, Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy and Mutaz Barshim of Qatar found themselves in a situation they'd talked about but never experienced — they were tied.
Both high jumpers were perfect until the bar was set to the Olympic-record height of 2.39 meters (7 feet, 10 inches). Each missed three times.
They could have gone to a jump-off, but instead decided to share the gold.
“I know for a fact that for the performance I did, I deserve that gold. He did the same thing, so I know he deserved that gold,” Barshim said. “This is beyond sport. This is the message we deliver to the young generation.”
After they decided, Tamberi slapped Barshim’s hand and jumped into his arms.
“Sharing with a friend is even more beautiful,” Tamberi said. “It was just magical.”
Earlier, on the same track, runners Isaiah Jewett of the U.S. and Nijel Amos of Botswana got tangled and fell during the 800-meter semifinals. Rather than get angry, they helped each other to their feet, put their arms around each other and finished together.
Many top athletes come to know each other personally from their time on the road, which can feel long, concentrated, and intense — marked by career moments that may be the best or worst of their lives.
Those feelings have often been amplified at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games, where there is an unmistakable yearning for normalcy and, perhaps, a newfound appreciation for seeing familiar faces.
Restrictions designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have meant Olympians can't mingle the way they normally do.
After a hard-fought, three-set victory in the beach volleyball round-robin final on Saturday at Shiokaze Park, Brazilian Rebecca Cavalcanti playfully poured a bottle of water on American Kelly Claes’ back as she did postgame interviews.
The U.S. team had just defeated Brazil but the winners laughed it off, explaining that they’re friends.
“I’m excited when quarantine’s done so we can sit at the same table and go to dinner with them. But it’s kind of hard in a bubble because we have to be away,” said Sarah Sponcil, Claes’ teammate.
For fellow American Carissa Moore, the pandemic and its accompanying restrictions brought her closer with the other surfers.
The reigning world champion said she typically travels to surfing competitions with her husband and father. But all fans were banned this year, and Moore admitted she struggled without their reassuring presence in the initial days of the Games.
Moore had flown to Japan with the U.S. team 10 days before the first heat, and soon adjusted to living in a home with the other surfers, including Caroline Marks, whom Moore considered the woman to beat.
Moore said she didn’t know Marks well before the Tokyo Games but on the night she was crowned the winner and Marks came in fourth, her rival was the first to greet her.
“Having the USA Surf team with me, it’s been such a beautiful experience to bond with them," Moore said. “I feel like I have a whole another family after the last two weeks.”
After the punishing women’s triathlon last week in Tokyo, Norwegian Lotte Miller, who placed 24th, took a moment to give a pep talk to Belgium’s Claire Michel, who was inconsolable and slumped on the ground, sobbing.
Michel had come in last, 15 minutes behind winner Flora Duffy of Bermuda — but at least she finished. Fifty-four athletes started the race but 20 were either lapped or dropped out.
“You’re a (expletive) fighter,” Miller told Michel. “This is Olympic spirit, and you’ve got it 100%.”

So the Biles thing is a touch annoying. When it first happened, the reporting was about mental wellness and the implication that it was 'stress' or pressure that caused her to drop. But now evidently she had/has the twisties, which is a whole different matter. It just changes the story quite a bit in my mind.
Biles, who is known for her rare ability to flip through the air and land on her feet, had developed the “twisties” — a sensation gymnasts can develop where they lose their sense of control in the air. Fear or pressure often trigger it.

I understand that it's still mental, but it's also common with gymnasts. It's just a different narrative than feeling pressure. Maybe I didn't read it right originally, but I was mildly critical at the time because it seemed like she just bailed a bit under teh pressure. Whereas every athlete feels pressure at some level. Twisties are different.
Just watched the end of the men's qualifying round for climbing. Women's tomorrow morning and then finals on Thursday I believe. Some amazing athletes.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

Simone Biles Spotlights the ‘Twisties’ and Why Mental Health Matters
I never put mental health and pressure together in the same thought and I asked if her losing that edge is the same as mental health. I never thought losing confidence was a mental health attribute? Either way I am rooting for her on the balance beam. I am hoping for the happy ending!
There is an article that talks about doodling. I used to be a doodle/drawing fiend. My mind doesn't race like it used to so I don't do it as much. Interesting as to why I most likely did it.

Damnit you ruined it for me! I was going to watch tonight!!!
Just watched the end of the men's qualifying round for climbing. Women's tomorrow morning and then finals on Thursday I believe. Some amazing athletes.
In my 20's I used to climb, repel, spelunk. Loved it. Then I watched some pros do it and could not believe how fast and nimble they were. I called them "Spider monkeys".
The reporting mentioned mental health issues and such but Simone always said she had performance issues and was concerned for her safety, as far as I remember. It's a media issue.

No idea. I really don’t care about the olympics all that much to concern myself about Gymnastics 🤸♂️… a sport in which I never watch. I may have watched 2 hours total…the Olympics are corrupt…I wish the Winter Olympics were boycotted…
but biles has overcome a lot…so she deserves a pass no matter why.

I haven't watched much either. Honestly I still can't get a grip on why water polo or skateboarding can be Olympic events.
I did watch some badminton the other day...but how far behind can cornhole be as an Olympic event?

Water polo is difficult. Those people that play at that level are cheating bastards too, lol. Always kicking and pinching each other! I enjoy watching it though.
I don't like watching long distance races. Anything above 5k is a snoozer.
Skateboarding literally anyone can do. If they allow snowboarding, which I find boring as hell, then skateboarding, much more exciting, should be included.
I can't believe skateboarding is an actual event. Might as well have farting competitions too.
Yeah, I've never broken my wrist or elbow, gotten severe road rash (embedding loose gravel beneath layers of skin) or multiple concussions, or separated my shoulder completely from my clavicle by farting.
Farting is way more Olympics speed. Like running in a circle. That's a big one.
well you ain't doin it right
