  1. When she announced her comeback at age 40, I couldn't help but think about Bill Johnson attempting a comeback at age 40.
  2. Katie Zaferes triathlon announces retirement. USA Triathlon | U.S. Olympic Triathlon Medalist Katie Zaferes Announces Retirement
  3. I made a mistake on George Rhoden's age. He was actually 97. The first thing I saw about it said 92.
  4. George Rhoden, Jamaica, age 92, passed away on Saturday 8/24. He was the 1952 gold medalist in the 400 m and 4x400 m relay. https://x.com/tvjnewscentre/status/1828158074898522311?s=61&t=eydjQCck_0k3skfK8nEPeg
  5. Good story about tug-of-war’s history at the Olympics. According to this story, it was taken off the program after the 1920 Olympics because the IOC thought there were too many sports in the Games and they wanted to streamline things. http://www.tugofwar.co.uk/olympics-history
  6. As of this morning, everything is still available at CBC.
  7. You’re right, they do, but I have a hunch it might be approved this time, given that LA has this grand plan for swimming, what with a 30,000 + seat venue, and being held in the second week of the Games, and it would only mean 1 extra race per night. More races = more ticket revenue. A slightly radical idea I heard a few years ago is to eliminate the 800 frees. Like when women’s 1500 free was added, they should have dropped the 800 free, rather than add a men’s 800.
  8. But World Aquatics has made a request to add the 50 meter races in the strokes, That would add six races to the program.
  9. The women's team pursuit with those 2 and Chloe Dygert wining a gold medal finally was a top one for me. A few others: the women's team foil, the mixed medley relay. and the 4th qtr of the USA-Serbia basketball semi.
  10. So, it was just done for Women's K-1. Carrington-Csipes-Jorgensen.
  11. Especially happy for Chloe Dygert, winning this gold medal.
  12. I don't know how our lineup compares to others, but I have liked our chances, what with 2 gold medalists and a bronze medalist.
  13. If you are in the US, as far as I know, all the apparatus videos from qualifiers are currently on Peacock, but are not downloadable.
  14. Allman 68.76 after a sector foul on first throw.
  15. They are showing on US TV how Shamir Little lined up at the wrong spot on the track, at the end of the zone, suddenly realized it, and got back into the zone in time for the exchange. Shades of 2021.
  16. A nice unexpected gold for the entire US team.
  17. I hope everyone in the USA group got to see the two women's foil semi-finals today. That was some of the most nail biting and compelling Olympic action from a US viewpoint that I've seen in quite a while.
