Tokyo #2020 Day 3

Two 13-year old girls have new Olympic medals, an Australian swim coach goes nuts, Surfing conditions get wild.

Swim coach’s reaction goes viral

After edging out American swim phenom Katie Ledecky, the coach of Aussie swimmer Ariarne Titmus went a little wild making a Japanese usher very nervous.

Two 13-year olds gots new Bling

Brazilian skateboarder Rayssa Leal is just 13-years-old. She went viral a while back for skateboarding in her fairy costume. Yesterday she earned a SILVER MEDAL in Olympic skateboarding. Take that!

“Mom please come pick me up from the skate park.”

What’s even cooler than a Silver? Japan’s little star Nishiya Momiji won a GOLD with her “gap out front crook” move. Does she need to see a dentist for that? Who comes up with these trick names?

All you 13-year olds better get your lives together. These girls are making you look lazy!

Who Loves Typhoons?

The Olympic surfers are weirdly excited that a Typhoon is heading for Japan. The conditions late yesterday were already getting pretty gnarly.

Earlier they were complaining that Japan’s surfing venue might not have some solid waves. Well be careful what you wish for!

Other Tidbits

  • The Russian men won the Gymnastics team final. (Competing as Russian Olympic Committee). Hopefully they can win back their country name? USA men finished a disappointing but somewhat typical fifth. If team USA women don’t win GOLD tonight, the US media is going to have a absolute melt down.
  • Great Britain or the UK or England … I’m not sure which anymore — Team Brexit? — won the Men’s Synchronized 10M platform just edging out China. England’s sweetheart Tom Daley finally has a Gold to go with his Bronzies. This is his FOURTH Olympics and he still looks 22.

Hug it out guys.

Hug it out guys.

  • Germany’s women’s gymnastics team, tired of sexualization of their sport and bodies, debuted some new unitards.

This seems awesome. More of this.

There’s so much to stream, I am still catching up.

Let’s see what stories Day 4 can give us.

Keep watching!
