Newman's now in medal contention with a jump of 4.85! Thatta girl.

So the bar is malfunctioning JUST as Newman's time to jump. Talk about messing with your mind.

De Grasse is out. Dammit.

Alysha Newman nailing it in pole vault. Let's go!

The women are off to the semis in beach volleyball. Woohoo.

Canada up 1-0 in women's beach volleyball. Woo.

They did. I don't think they knew how to do things there without Stealthy Ribs. "Where's the off button?"

What went wrong? They lost. France came out strong/determined and Canada was in a hole from the get go. Also...accuracy. Make some 3 pointers and they may have had a chance.

Man, she looks good for her age.

Really pulling for them. Evan's super down to earth...we've been chatting for a couple of years (since he ran for council in Richmond and came SOOOO close to getting in). We needed his voice and I hope he finds time to run again. When he's not walking. He's so nice that he agreed to meet my daughter's boyfriend in a surprise meeting to share his medal. One of Sean's long time dreams was to see an Olympic medal in person and so Evan graciously agreed to do so. He's a champion.

Wow, so much respect for Gabby Thomas! Trained in the day, at night worked as a volunteer at a health clinic for people without health insurance. Amazing. Brains, beauty and amazing athletic ability. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/olympics/news/gabby-thomas-smart-usa-sprinter-college-harvard-texas/6b18e4bb42afd5b75f3b7a5d

I'm pretty sure I saw the origin of the hammer throw at a campground at Loon Lake in the 90's. Yeeha. I think it was drink 17 Molson Canadians and you qualify.

Great sportsmanship here between these ladies. So nice to see.

Apparently we're good at throwing hammers stuff in Canada. Back when I was fighting with my ex I shoulda signed up.

GOLD FOR CAMRYN!! GOOD OL' RICHMOND GIRL!!

She sounds like a bloody bobcat.

Huge 5th throw by Camryn! Back into first!

Savannah Sutherland makes it to the finals in hurdles. Twenty years old, go girl!

Gotta make those.

Refs cheering hard for France?
