Canada's Christa Deguchi wins gold in Judo:
Amazing! The article does not mention it but its canada first ever gold in Judo?
Yes, first ever!
Her semi final against the French woman was maybe just 3 hrs ago, was a totally energy drainer, surprised that the final took place so soon after.

Great score, I saw her against the French and the Korean, she was tired poor baby, but she brought honor.

Triathlon cancels Olympic swim training for the second day over poor water quality in the Seine
PARIS (AP) — Concerns about the water quality in the Seine River led officials to call off the swimming portion of an Olympic triathlon training session for a second straight day Monday.
Organizers overseeing the event at the Paris Games are optimistic that triathletes will be able to swim in the city’s famed waterway when the competition starts Tuesday.
The sport’s governing body, World Triathlon, its medical team and city officials are banking on sunny weather and higher temperatures to bring levels of E. coli and other bacteria below the necessary limits to stage the swim portion of the race, which also includes biking and running.
World Triathlon made the decision to cancel the swim workout early Monday following a meeting over water quality in the Seine, which is closely linked to the weather. Rain deluged Friday’s opening ceremony and showers persisted Saturday, forcing some tennis matches and the skateboarding competition to be postponed.
The representatives for Paris 2024 and triathlon’s international federation said tests conducted in the Seine on Sunday showed water quality levels leading into the training session that “did not provide sufficient guarantees to allow the event to be held.” The delegation blamed the recent rain.

Ingrid Wilm looked good in the 200m backstroke...where are the Canadian men? Correct me if I'm wrong, a Canadian man hasn't taken gold since Mark Tewksbury in the Barcelona Olympics.
Italians suck at football, they're good in the pool. Two gold medals already.

Summer has a sister, Brooke McIntosh will be competing in Pairs Figure Skating in Milano. She was there to hug her sister after she got her gold medal.
I watched it and was very proud.
Gotta say though, it lacked any action/excitement and I don't think that anybody explained what the match winning penalty was all about.
Canada seems to be off to a more than respectable start. Summer has an absolute cutie of a smile.
Next shot at gold by Summer. Women's 200 m butterfly final is August 1, 14:30

The King of the North hasn't fared well since going home. Why is crybaby Joel Embiid playing for the USA when he previously played for France? The USA won against Serbia but Joker became Embiid's daddy.
