🥇Paris Olympics: Day 15 - Recap

It's almost time.

Team Handball - The gold medal game between France v Norway (women). Norway pulled away and did not look back.

Sport Climbing Brooke Raboutou 🇺🇲 did her thing in Bouldering to capture the silver. Rock climb more. It's good exercise.

Triathlon- Watched the mixed relay on replay. After participating in one, I know how it feels. Basically, if athletes can get a lead, keep it. If they fall behind, then hope for tremendous speed and VO2 capacity from an athlete. A short or sprint triathlon is one event in which you do not want to fall behind.

Marathon Swimming - The manner by which the athletes receive water...cool. Freestyle stroke and sip as the water pours out of the bottle from a pole.

Modern Pentathlon - I never really paid close attention to it in the past like I did this year. The MP has its own games...separatr from everything else with its own pool, shooting, running, and horse areas. But, I did not see MP-Fencing. Best part: running coupled with shooting.

Men's Marathon - Watched a little on replay. Any kind of record at this distance is solid. Tola of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 set a new Olympic record. My goodness!

Five Rings,

Derek
