Damn that is an agonizing lose in fencing.

 

Good effort ladies but really can't blame it on a 16 year old. Bright future ahead.

From the Tokyo Olympics (Harrington from Ireland went on to win the bronze medal) 


Tokyo 2020: Kellie Harrington guarantees medal with victory over Imane Khelif
 

Kellie Harrington has guaranteed herself an Olympic lightweight medal after beating Algeria's Imane Khelif on a unanimous decision to win bronze.

Khelif was tall, with a big reach and awkward style, but top seed Harrington was patient and found a way through the Algerian's defences.

The first round was won by Harrington with four of the five judges backing the Dubliner.

An open lace caused her to fall in the middle of the second round, but it didn't disrupt the 31-year-old as she picked off punches on her opponent. She was awarded the round by all five judges.

It meant Harrington was as good as through heading into the last round. But she delivered once more, getting the backing of all the judges, to book her progress through to the semi-final of her division.

It's quickly becoming the Summer of .... uh ... Summer.

 

Just checking the stats - I'm very surprised to read that Summer is listed at 5' 6".

 

I would have guessed she was about 6'.  She looks tall.

Hmm, she's 17 so maybe that's an old measurement?

Rowling was a school teacher, before she became a stinking rich author....

 

I guess we should be glad that she's no longer influencing young minds....

Example #657 that @Ghostsof1915 is really old....:classic_cool:

Well that song is 9 years before I was born. A lot of adults played 40's and 50's music around me when I grew up.

Fortunately my Mom loved classical music so I had Mozart as a framework. Then my brother and sister introduced me to Rock and Blues.
