Continuing with the daily medal overviews today, as I couldn’t be bothered to do it yesterday.
Slower day than usual with only one medal chance, but Zachary Gingras will look to upgrade from his Paralympic bronze in Tokyo, as the Paris 2023 World Championships silver medalist in men’s T38 400m at 10:20 AM PST/1:20 PM EST.
Edit: Oops Fournie was a medal chance too and I completely forgot about him
Geez, Batt is insane
With literally no time left on the clock, he connects on a long knuckle lob pass to Vernon right as the time expires to tie the game up at the half!
In a rematch of the Olympic final, Qinwen Zheng gets the better of Donna Vekic again, 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-2
The match, which ended at 2:15 am local time, is the latest women’s match in US Open history.
Well no, not yet and probably won’t be until late next year but in Beijing the lack of NHL players was due to COVID which isn’t as big anymore so…
Yeah same, not only would it be better for the quality of the competition, but just imagine the lines it would produce. I mean a Crosby-MacKinnon-McDavid line… fuck I’m already excited.
I don’t get what you mean regarding that
comparison though, the Olympic men’s football tournament doesn’t attract the star players that men’s hockey does
Well yeah, but I’d honestly be surprised if Russia weren’t in medal contending form, they always are. Russia has been one of the top nations in ice hockey for many many years and there’s no reason to think otherwise.
They have a good non-NHL team (they did win silver in Beijing after all…), and with NHL players finally returning to the Olympics they’ll be even stronger. Some of the players like Kucherov have spoken about the upcoming Olympics and are quite keen to represent their countries if given the chance of course.
Russia being excluded for … France would be such a shame, personally I’m hoping for their inclusion as I want to see the best of the best present. They have a lot of good NHL players too.
