Here is a recap of team USA
Artistic Skating- both Americans (1 man & 1 woman) are in 6th place after the short program.
Beach Volleyball- the women’s team won, but the men’s team lost
Modern Pentathlon- women are in 15th, 17th & 19th after fencing. Men are in 7th & 16th after fencing.
Rugby- both men’s & women’s teams dominated in their wins.
Squash- both men’s singles athletes were knocked out in the quarterfinals. The men’s doubles & women’s doubles teams won today and advanced to the semifinals.
Yesterday, the U.S. won in handball, softball, twice in beach volleyball, and didn’t lose a squash match. The bowlers all finished top 3. Hopefully, it stays the same today.
I don’t understand how people have trouble with the sky serve. I mean it’s still a volleyball. It’s not like you are hitting a rock. I know it’s easier said than done though.
