What did you all think of NBCs coverage of the games? This Olympics has made me realize how much I miss Bob Costas. @Rdbc@Quaker2001
Have not been very active this olympics. Been super busy trying to catch all the action while trying to avoid spoilers.
Hoping for a repeat of Rio. Also, we had a Table Tennis & Men’s Fencing win so far. Archery will compete in about 5 minutes.
ExpandGood start for Softball team with 2-0 win over Italy in their first game in Tokyo!
Never watched Softball before, was Italy doing surprisingly good or USA not fully warmed up yet?
played well on defense, especially pitching. They do need to play better on offense if they want to beat 
. 
did play well though. Cicchitti pitched well for them.
I’ll probably stay up until midnight or 1 am ET each day. Still have a part time job & don’t want to mess up my sleep schedule too much. I’ll be able to catch up with all the action throughout the morning and afternoon though.

NBC will air the Tokyo 2020 Opening Ceremony LIVE at 7am ET. This is the first time ever that they are airing the opening ceremony live in a morning time slot. They will also have a replay in the normal prime time spot.
Jocelyne & Monica Lamoureux (Ice Hockey) have announced their retirements. The won 1 gold medal (2018) & 2 silver medals (2010 & 2014) at the Olympics. Also, Ted Ligety (Alpine Skiing) will retire at the end of the world championships. Ligety is a 5 time WC GS winner (2008, 2010, 2011, 2013 & 2014), 5 time World Champion (2011, 2013 x3 & 2015) & 2 time Olympic Gold medalist (2006 & 2014). What a career for all 3 of them.
Kailie Humphries is a World Champion!!!!
Kai Owens finished 4th today in the Moguls WC.
Jamie Anderson wins X Games gold in the women’s snowboard big air!
Brittany Bowe continues to rack up wins. She won the 1000m WC event this morning.

No medals from the Luge World Championships today, but Jamie Anderson won gold in slope style at the X games.

ExpandInteresting article about the national shooting team. I can’t say I see eye to eye with them on a few things...
Hillsdale College is only about a 2 hour drive from where I live, so that’s kinda cool. If they invest money and make a great facility and program than I don’t have an issue.
Tommy Ford is out for the rest of the Alpine Skiing season
ExpandIt’s been a great winter season for the US so far. I hope to see some of the momentum carried into the upcoming world champs.
I’m really hoping for a few medals this weekend in the Luge Wch.
Solid Sunday for Team USA. We had 2 sleds in the top 10 in the women’s 2 man Bobsled WC. Meyers Taylor grabbed bronze in that event & Humphries finished 6th. Also, Tyler Wallasch finished 5th in the ski cross WC. Summer Britcher took bronze in the Women’s luge WC with Farquharson finishing 8th. They then followed that up later with 4th place & 7th place in the sprint event. Emily Sweeney finished 8th in that event as well. Faye Gulini gets another 2nd place finish in the women’s snowboard cross WC. Hagen Kearney & Jake Vedder finished in 3rd & 4th on the men’s side. Brittany Bowe had another great day finishing 6th in the women’s 500m speed skating WC & 1st in the women’s 1000m.

Time for the IOC to consider moving the curling fields to 12 teams, in line with pretty much every other team sport on either the summer/winter program. -
It probably meant to happen next year but i don't agree as to results. Head is important, sth went wrong there and even when they knew it's over they started to look better in Planica. I believe it will get better and if he stays at junior level no, it ain't gonna be cheaper at all. Rather the other way round. Even if his salary will be a bit smaller his level will force bigger investments in youth squad. So this theory is like 50/50 now (i admit i didn't expect this junior version but it seems realistic now). -
The drought continues, it’s been almost two weeks since last won a curling world championship -

Big congrats to for finally qualifying for the Olympics in men’s curling after *so* many close calls. The OQT is gonna be brutal on both the men’s and women’s side :O

Also, if any of you have a chance to watch the Kevin Hart & Snoop Olympic highlights show on peacock I would recommend checking it out. I watched a few episodes last night and it was hilarious. It helps cure the post Olympic depression
