Venus Williams moving on to the 3rd round of WD along with her partner Leylah Fernandez .

I likewise had to figure out how cricket worked. It involved me watching some matches and asking ChatGPT a lot of questions (including sharing a picture of the scoreboard so it could help me interpret it).

How's this look? This is the pretty color day-by-day schedule. Edit: If you're looking for the list of all the sessions that you can filter, check a few posts below. Edit again: I have a more detailed version on the next page in the forum. la28schedule.xlsx

Guzi from came back strong! Congrats to the medallists...double gold for !

Lai from was down big in the second game against Shi from ...had two match points and was just a couple of centimeters away from winning. But Shi came back...decider time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-WYFJ7LTnY - tune in for Game 3! Edit: Lai fought hard, but Shi prevailed. But congrats for a bronze for !

I'm attempting to get chatgpt to help me with this so we can work smarter not harder :-)

Ozoda Sobirjonova 3. Lena Moreno Reyes I've never followed taekwondo before...it's nice to learn some names of standout US athletes (Teachout apparently won bronze in Paris)...and congrats to the other winners as well!

Hopefully more people will discover this exciting sport...only 500 people or so watching live on Youtube. Congrats !

Yep, it's a 50 m pool. (They say so at the 2:00 mark here, and of course it can be seen as they swim later in the broadcast.)

was also 4th in Men's...a 17 year old at that! Took down the #1 seed from to make it to the SF. In the GM match with vs. , the athlete looked like he got hurt in the 1st round unfortunately.

Is there a way on the WT website to see the 'bracket' view for the draws, or do they just have a list of the matches in order? (Edit: I found it in the Results tab as a PDF, but looks like there's no live bracket during the comp. I guess BWF and WTT have spoiled me being able to see a bracket.)

It is of note that there are no Neutral athletes competing at the World Champs, but they regularly made the finals during the WC season.

And here are your Women's finalists. Congrats! KHALIL Farida CASTAUDI Rebecca GUZI Blanka TOGNETTI Aurora ISMAIL Malak KARBOWNIK Malgorzata CAZALY Louison BAUER Blanka WHITAKER Emma SEONG Seungmin JURT Anna OZYUKSEL Ilke MERCURI Maria Beatrice HEREDIA Laura ADOMAITYTE Elzbieta MARTINESCU Valentina FOLLETT Charlie GREEN Olivia Also, please don't let it get lost on you how amazing Farida Khalil is. She 14 years old. She is the U17, U19, and Junior World Champ, AND she won the Senior World Cup. The next youngest competitor is 20. The oldest competitor is 28...double her age! (Average age is 25-26 of these finalists.) Likewise, Moutaz Mohamed on the men's side is the Junior World Champ and winner of the Senior World Cup. Double gold for if the trend continues!

Looks like Diving is getting a different venue than previously advertised. https://la28.org/en/newsroom/la28-updates-diving-venue-for-the-2028-olympic-games.html "Today, the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games proposed to relocate Diving to the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center in the Venue City of Pasadena...The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center offers an existing world class pool that meets Olympic Diving standards and requires fewer improvements in order to host Diving in 2028." Looks like the other one (Exposition Park, where they held it in 1932) had some safety concerns. From SwimSwam: 'World Aquatics “advised” LA28 that the pool does not meet the Olympic Diving standards due to athlete safety concerns of pool width and depth, orientation of the diving towers towards the sun, and inadequate clearance behind the towers.'

The stage is set for Saturday's Men's Final. Congrats to the athletes here for making it past the semi-finals: LAWRYNOWICZ Daniel MOHAMED Moutaz FLEUROT Ugo LUKES Matej GALL Andras POPOV Roman MICHELI Roberto KOVALCHUK Yuriy PURONAS Titas ROCHAT Mathis SHABAN Mohanad SZEP Balazs HULME James SALOMO Pau BORIES Leo SYCH Danylo BOVENZI Matteo LEH Tim

I just watched a video of that...looks super cool! And I like the idea of it being in the middle of the city. (Also, here's another vote for ice climbing and cross-country/trail running.)

Badminton's a sport I haven't followed, but I just learned that it's one of the sports that the US has never medalled in. (Surprising, perhaps?) Looks like our entries have some tough draws today and have either already lost or are the underdogs in an upcoming match.

Chance for redemption for

men didn't make the Semifinals. Oh well! Take a peek at qualis to see the primarily indoor competition...I like it! (I didn't follow MP before Paris, so I don't really know how it used to be...I imagine much different.)

losing to . Woof. (Congrats, Uruguay!) (Reminds me of when we almost lost to South Sudan right before the Olympics...except here Uruguay pulled it off. And with South Sudan we had our A Team.)

Actually, I just saw in the regulations that the deadline has passed: https://d1n1qj9geboqnb.cloudfront.net/ifsc/public/xwjumx8d1qt3sf6iwqi94dsa1ch6 And, Indonesia has competitors in Lead/Boulder registered. Perhaps didn't want to do World Games + IFSC WCH?

Also worth noting that Brooke Raboutou isn't currently on the list with her American compatriots. I know she was taking some time off, and perhaps she decided to let this one go. (No shame in that.) But Janja is there.

Currently no Indonesian speed climbers showing up on the Registration page...maybe they're still populating that list? Or does anyone know why they might not be going? https://ifsc.results.info/event/1417/

That last point of the Men's was insane. Go watch if you haven't! Congrats to Truls...first European man to win a Grand Smash!
