The Olympics are here

Well the USA win their first medal ever medal in fencing. What I learned was that the fencers are tied on cable so they don't go too far I guess. And I think of you hit the face mask it's a point. Personally I wonder I wonder how you can see with that screen our fencer wore an American flag and I liked that but we won USA all the way.
 
My son competed in the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation's State Games over the weekend.

State Champ X 3.

Sorry I don't have a better link to post. How can somebody from Louisiana named Mondo Duplantis be competing for Sweden 😂? When I was a kid I went to the Texas relays and a got named Kelly Isakkson set a record on the poll vault. This is an interesting story I've learned that it's a very demanding sport.

We have 3 women in the 100m finals. And someone from Saint Lucia of all places wins the gold.

The men's 100m goal is tomorrow night at 8:50 I don't what time that is here. This is the most watched event at the Olympics.
 
“Someone”

She’s a Longhorn homie!
😬 Is the decathlon still a prestigeous hope medal. I didn't know Neugebauher was a longhorn. With a name like that it's no surprise he's representing Germany. That great individual. medals for our 🤘

Fastest women on earth is a Longhorn! And she was also the NCAA Champion this past season. I knew she would give Richardson a run for her money! Looks like Scottie has the lead at the moment and looking for his first gold!

Who here watched the men's 100? Incredible. I watched it and even after the replays I'm not sure Noah Lyles won but hey USA all the way. When it comes to the Olympics nothing is more prestigious than winning the 100m. Did you see the hype before the race started? When was the last time the USA won the 100m?

I did. The Jamacian thought he won at first and celebrated a little. I was watching with my daughters and yelled "He (Lyles) got it"....they disagreed, but the photo showed otherwise. USA!!
I don't remember it ever taking this long to declare a 🏆 my brother said that Lyle leaned in the tape and his forehead hit the finish like before the Jamaicans right foot.
Crazy
