Subject: RE: Tokyo OlympicsOther than I've been staying up way too late to watch live swimming and know way more about weird sports than I care to? ![](/js/tiny_mce4.0.8/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif) I had thought the lack of spectators wouldn't be a big deal, but it has...there is NO energy in the buildings. You can see it swimming, gymnastics, b-ball, soccer, etc. - it's like a bunch of scrimmages in practice. The bike races and triathlon were really great races. Swimming has gone about as I expected (U.S.-centric viewpoint here)...win some, disappoint some. Some fast times being thrown down. Not surprised Ledecky lost to Tutnis - we'll see tonight in the 200 free if Katie has an angry swim in her. US women's soccer team looks bored, and bad. Surprised Osaka lost this early, but carrying the weight of a country on your shoulders is tough. Ask Simone Biles about that (hoping she gets what she needs right now...the Olympics a better place with a happy, joyous SB). Looking forward to track and field starting soon. |
