Paskud Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Skateboard girls podium is soooooo adorable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 It's a bit of surprise Titmus won against Ledecky in 400 m freestyle (Ledecky is the world record holder & defending champion), but Ledecky is still the heavy favourite in 800 and 1500 metres. In the 4x100m freestyle relay Hungary finished 5th which was the first ever final for the team, and they swam a new national record. They were so happy about this! In the meantime Team GB wins in diving against China and Russia, Daley finally got his gold medal after two bronzes in 2012 and 2016. Also this Congratulations on Nishiya Momoji on winning gold! The podium looked really cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yude Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 They are so adorable and I can't stop retweeting the tweets especially Momiji's smile photos Top 3 were all wearing the helmets and the commentator explained players under 18 had to wear them as decided as the rule (good!). Looking all players during the game, I was worried as if I was their mother Good luck to Sky in the park event I have to go to the office 3 days straight from tomorrow, so I won't be able to watch the Olympics live as much as I do now. And the typhoon is coming, I hope it won't affect the events held outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea's dominance in archery is longer than Russia's is artistic swimming - interestingly artistic swimming was dominated by USA, Canada and Japan in the 80s and 90s (it's an Olympic sport since 1984), but then something happened in the late 1990s, USA dropped from the podium completely and Russia has been dominating for 20 years now since Sydney 2000. I think they will win again this time too. 27 minutes ago, yude said: And the typhoon is coming, I hope it won't affect the events held outside. I read that some events in rowing were postponed due to bad weather conditions. Hopefully typhoon won't affect other events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cried so much yesterday while watching it, as a former (itsy bitsy) gymnast myself she was a hero among us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lajoitko Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 This is a sweet video. She lost her fencing match but her longtime boyfriend/coach decided to cheer her up proposing her in the middle of the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually watching that very moment live while working and I had to drop everything because it was too precious to miss it I certainly prefer watching this (my home country's) channel's coverage of the Games rather than BBC from the UK which is where I live.
