Gymnastics is in its swing!
3v3 basketball started!
I need to pay attention to 3v3 more closely in these Olympics. I know, it's playground basketball when you think about it. But, players get exposed because only six of them play at one time. The USA 🇺🇸 women got exposed in game 1 versus Germany 🇩🇪. The squad was up 5-0 and lost 17-13. Once the game ended, the ladies did not look happy at all. Hey, it's gonna take some grit to get the gold in these Paris Olympics for the reigning Olympic champions.
Get them back in game 2, ladies!
Archery - A small sport that is worth the watch. Watch out for South Korea 🇰🇷 , Japan 🇯🇵 and China 🇨🇳. Or, was that in pistol?
Gymnastics - through it all Simone Biles and the rest of the U.S. crew won gold in the Team finals. Fantastic delivery! Biles is a cheat code - she's bad out there on the floor 🔥🔥🔥. Love seeing her compete.
Rugby - So...with the USA 🇺🇸 women winning the bronze medal in Rugby Sevens, the U.S. now has never medaled in five sports (Team Handball, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Trampoline, Table Tennis, and Badminton). Everyone forgot about rugby. So, there were actually six sports, prior to the Paris Olympics in which we had never medaled. Not anymore! The women's team won in dramatic fashion versus Australia 🇦🇺. Fantastic and historic victory!
Team Handball - Please do not leave these Paris Olympics without knowing what Handball is as a sport. It has been around since 1936. No more questions of, "What is this?" Go watch it. You will like it. Rough, athletic, strategic. Watch it!
Beach Volleyball - The rallies are the best. It's not as fast as team volleyball. But, it works.
Keep watching!
Five Rings,
