So, picked up Peacock for the Olympics. Have been watching Women's rugby (replay, though I only know how USA did before started watching). Quite interesting. Super fast matches (7 minutes a half, 2 total for 14 minutes).
Watched USA lose to New Zealand, just now watched Canada defeat Australia. Not sure which will play next, Bronze medal game (USA v Australia) or Gold medal game (Canada versus New Zealand).

Rugby Bronze match was actually pretty fun to watch. Australia had the match near the end, just ninety seconds left with the ball basically as far from where USA needed to put it as it could be.

USA wins gold in men's four-boat, but I need you to watch this photo finish yesterday by Great Britain over Netherlands in women's quad sculls yesterday, and then watch Netherlands do almost the exact same thing to Great Britain today in women's four!

This is pretty neat: the crowds all across Paris erupting for Leon Merchand's win in the 200m butterfly were so loud that they temporarily disrupted other events, whose participants and officiates were left confused about what was happening.

An Australian surfing judge has been removed after a photo emerged of the judge socializing with members of the Australian athlete delegation.

The International Surfing Association released a statement Thursday saying it removed Lowe from the judging panel for the remainder of the competition to “protect the integrity and fairness of the ongoing competition.”

“The ISA is aware of a photo circulating on social media in which one of the Olympic surfing judges from Australia is seen socially interacting with an Australian athlete and the team manager,” the ISA said. “It is inappropriate for a judge to be interacting in this manner with an athlete and their team.”
Nothing scandalous has happened, but certainly the right decision.
