There’s been an effort for at least 30 years to get outrigger canoe paddling into the Olympics. The International Va’a Federation holds the World sprint championships bi-annually. There are 27 nations this year in Hilo. This would be great for Pacific island nations that don’t do Olympics.

Gary Jobson makes it such a pleasure to watch Sailing. Like Phil Liggett for Cycling and how the late Keith Jackson was for College Football (“Whoa, Nellie!”)

Big fail. None of the weather apps show rain in Kona. Just because it rarely rains here doesn’t mean they can stand down

The Netherlands and New Zealand are good at sports. #Olympics

One thing I really like about the Olympics is a lot sports I like are one network in a firehose of broadcasts for 2 weeks. Otherwise, they are spread out on many networks and often hard to find.

As we wait for the medal ceremony on the beach at Marseille. Birds on the beach, kids playing in the water. Excellent

Beautiful

Contrast this with the gymnastics where athletes have a bevy of handlers. The sailers load their own boats.

Win the gold medal. Load your own boat on the trailer.

I love watching the Olympic replays. Great announcers, world video feed, no commercials and lots of interesting video shots between matches

Hawaii is 12 hours past France, so live is difficult.

The Surfing World #1 man and woman are out of the Olympic. Lack of consistent surf. Surfer can’t show their wares without waves.

I tried that Al Michaels AI Olympic daily recap. It’s just strange. I watched just a few minutes Al Michaels was a sports anchor in Hawaii when I was a kid and did play by play for the Hawaii Islanders AAA team. I’ve was a fan before he went national.

No Apple intelligence on my 2 eligibles devices yet. M1 Air and Mini

MAGA soap

Olympic Sailing skiff medal race cancelled again. “When you have no wind, it’s drifting contest”. 😏

I couldn’t stop laughing

Kamala just seems happy, orange is always mad.

I really like women’s football. No rolling around, whining and yelling at the ref. When they get hit, they just get up and play.

So Peacock broadcasts all of the Olympic shows that are on USA on Peacock+. Why can’t they do that for EPL matches that are on USA network. #NBCFAIL

Wow. USA stun Australia to take Bronze in Women’s rugby sevens. Big result.

I love a good hamburger as do my grandsons. We have few favorite places here in west Hawaii. With the steady menu price increases, we don’t go out as much. My wife bought beef chuck patties, buns and all of the essential accouterments at Costco and make our own hamburger at home. Yum
