Well at that point the Italians are just setting themselves up for disappointment, I don't think he's that good  a medal in each, and 1-2 golds for sure is possible

This is so cool! El Salvador at Winter Paralympics!!!
 
Good luck!!
 

Also 59.32 in the 100m backstroke for Taylor Ruck. She's looked great this week.

1:53.80 for McIntosh in the women's 200m freestyle, just off her PB from Fukuoka!

Nicaragua and DR tied at 3 in the 6th. Really impressed with Nicaragua so far 
 
Elsewhere, Brazil only down 2-1 to the US. Of course Aaron Judge has a home run. 

Very shaky outing from Dominican Republic ace Cristopher Sanchez and Nicaragua has the early lead 
 
We'll see how long it lasts.

Actually, I think I would favoured Mexico over Venezuela now. Not necessarily because of the skill level between the two teams but I realized that because the way the bracket is set up, there's a good chance Venezuela will play Japan in the quarterfinal and that would be a challenge.
 
I would be shocked if Cuba qualifies. A lot of baseball experts have them finishing last in their pool.

Victor Lai through to the semifinals in his debut at the All-England Open!
 
Very excited for his future and the future of Canadian badminton, he's still very young 

Men’s team beats Chile 3-2 at the World Cup Qualifiers! They were down 2-1 heading into the 4th

53.88 for Taylor Ruck in the 100m freestyle at the Pro Swim Series today.
 
First time under 54 seconds since 2022.

The Opening Ceremonies just wrapped, and I'm pumped for the Games to begin. After the Olympics, however, I'm not getting my hopes up or having any expectations, so as not to be disappointed... again...
