Touching moment when the Cuban wrestler won gold in his 5th straight Olympics, then left his shoes in the ring to signify his retirement
This what I’m talkin’ about
I love it how the Olympic athletes, win or lose, are so proud to be representing their country. If Trump wins, I would have a hard time doing that.
Had a short previously scheduled call with our investment guy today. He said he always gets a load of panic calls and emails on day like today. Said it’s the usual suspect and talks them off the ledge every time. He said the smart move is to have money set aside for days like this and buy.
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
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.
Kamala needs to do an AR debate with Trump using footage from his previous debate. x.com/rpsagains…
As we wait for the medal ceremony on the beach at Marseille. Birds on the beach, kids playing in the water. Excellent
Contrast this with the gymnastics where athletes have a bevy of handlers. The sailers load their own boats.
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.
