Saw this as well. I don’t know the first thing about foil (how does this differ from fencing?), but the last match was great and as you said, the reaction of her and her coach was a great moment.

It is fencing. There are three sword types in fencing: foil, epee, and saber.

    I don't blame her one bit.  Such a terribly run Olympics.  How can she perform her best when the vault is that crowded?

DeChambeau out with the rona.  Shocker.

Jon Rahm too. How is that even possible? He’s had more than enough time to get fully vaccinated since he was forced to drop out of the Memorial Tournament after testing positive.

Lulz, huge clusterfuck at the triathlon start.  A boat was still right by the dock blocking half of the field when they blew the starting horn.  The guys on the other end of the dock dove in and started and it took awhile for other boats to come cut them off and bring them back.

How is everyone watching? Where is triathlon on? I’ve got a replay of USA losing to France in hoops.

I downloaded the FUBO trial for 2 days so I can watch all the triathlon events

Triathlon is on USA

2nd funniest triathlon thing I've ever seen.  Only topped by my first triathlon attempt in which I had to be rescued from the YMCA pool by a life guard.

I never really learned how to swim growing up cause I had 3 different sets of ear tubes.

Anyway, I figure I'll just swim 50 meters at a time and hold onto the wall if I get tired.  Right before I jumped in, the MC said the pool's deepest point is 6 feet.  Cool.  New strategy.  Swim my ass off; stand up when fatigued.  I get 250 meters in.  Exhausted.  I go to stand up and sink 12 feet down.  Had to be pulled in with a donut.  Wife was so proud.

Get on my bike and head up a few hills.  Ended up throwing up in someone's yard because of all the water I'd swallowed.  Good times.

Impressive finish for Blummenfelt from Norway in the triathlon

Nice.  I've done several since my first foray.  I'm still a really poor swimmer, very average runner, but really good on a bike.  My last dauthlon - run, bike, run - I finished near the bottom in both runs, but 6th out of 200+ on the bike.

I'd really like to do an Iron Man.  I've done 130 miles straight on a bike + the Knoxville marathon.  I just don't have the balls (or stamina) to do 2.6 in open water.

Yeah I swim like a rock no body fat sucks and at 218lbs still I’ll never be a fast runner. I do it to stay young in shape and I love the challenge. I can haul ass on the bike though lol

Caught the end of that one. USA down 11-9 in the 3rd but scored 6 straight to win.

Also, yes on the blonde Latvian.

Saw Claes play for USC at TCU a few years ago. Some lady in the stands was like, “You watch, this team will be in Tokyo”. She was half right, Claes’ old partner is still on tour though.

This USA/Japan softball game on USA is odd. The only relevance is winner will be home in the Gold medal game. 

Yeah and I guess this is why we rolled out our 3rd pitcher.  I didn't realize the softball was going to be over already tomorrow night/Tuesday morning.  What's the hurry?  Why not use the round robin results to seed 4 teams and then play it out?  Or if you want to go right to the medal round, make it best 2 of 3?

I assume they need the fucking baseball stadium. That’s why this setup is so amateur hour.

Well, that is a good point.  But for fuck's sake, there's a pro softball league in Japan and they aren't allowing fans.  Seems like they could be playing somewhere else.  Amateur hour for sure.

Reminds me of the Texas offense during Cat's career here

Kelly Leak is offended at your insult.

we were around the pool so watching on mute in the background...but the general impression was Biles was having some difficulties. were we just daydrinking too much? def possible

 

USA takes gold in shooting. shocking lol /nocr 

Cat in for the 6th.  I guess that probably means Abbott will get the start in the gold medal game?

Or maybe not.  Cat faced two batters and then the starter came back in.

Walked it off again with a HR!  Need to beat Japan again tomorrow for the gold.

Got a link? I don’t think that’s correct. That’s the sort of thing that would’ve been reported.

I got my second shot of Pfizer on May 21. I wasn’t fully vaccinated until June 4. According to the article you linked, Rahm wasn’t fully vaccinated at the Memorial. Whether he actually received a shot before then or just said he did, I can’t say. I’ve been told elsewhere (on Surly) that he got his J&J shot after the Memorial. I’d like to see his vaccination card.

Watching skate punks face plant is the only good thing about skateboarding as an Olympic sport.

yes I said he got the shot before the memorial.  he's certainly fully vaccinated by now.  people are getting covid even though they are vaccinated.
