Triplecast

Scheffler wins!

I’ve never seen him this emotional.

First time I’ve heard national anthem.

And finally a gold medal for Regan Smith.

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.

US 3:07.42 WR in mixed relay heat.

Allman with a 69.59 first throw.

A nice unexpected gold for the entire US team.

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.

You are now in better shape now. Congratulations!

Her mother is Chinese. Huske is also from Arlington Virginia, where I live and she is the second swimmer from Arlington to win this particular race., 68 years after the first.

NBC announcer Dan Hicks just said Marchand "is from a small country town about 400 miles from here, in Toulouse France."

Caroline Marks, I know that was riding a good wave.

And Sabre is with any part of the blade, as opposed to tip only for foil and epee.

Same with BBC and FranceTV. NBC has to run about 20 minutes of commercials per hour.

NBC gave us commercials instead of the Refugee Olympic Team segment and for most of Estanguet’s address.

Epic Failure - I think you are spot on. I encountered that during the Tour de France, sometimes I wouldn't turn it on on Peacock until about 5 hours into the race, and it would only go back so far. Maxim was watching a 6+hour stream of rugby, so similar problem. Fortunately, handball matches are only 1.5 to 2 hours. Another thing about Peacock, which should seem obvious, and that is when the live stream ends, no matter where you are in the event, the stream stops and you get the message that replay will be posted soon. So I've rewound the handball match, I'm at about the 45 minute point in the match, and then suddenly without warning it stops.

Question, curious, what exactly happened? I ask because I was able to go back to the beginning of the handball streams today on my PC, even if the match was close to over.

IIRC, the captains of each sport meet and vote for the flagbearers. They put forward someone from their respective sport and then there is a vote amongst the captains. Biles is a strong candidate.

Here are my first picks Athletics Patrizia van der Weken Lieke Klaver Kevin Mayer Yaroslava Mahuchikh Swimming Diogo Ribeiro

Replaced today by Derrick White. Kawhi Leonard out for Paris Olympics; Derrick White to Team USA - ESPN

(1) Just change the above times to US Eastern Time and (2) you aren't the only ones. So 2-4 AM wake up, depending on what on before 1000 in France. 2. 6:00-7:00 pm go to bed. I'm watching in my basement and my wife will join me for much of the coverage. I have 2 TVs and multiple PCs/laptops/tablets/iPhones ready to go.

Still waiting to see if Jessica Springsteen is named to the jumping team.

I think you mean hectometer.
