Anyone been watching the Olympics?

Recommended Posts

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Egyptian judo fighter Islam El Shehaby was loudly booed at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics after his first-round loss to Israel's fifth-ranked Or Sasson, when El Shehaby refused to shake Sasson's hand, in a major breach of judo etiquette.

Sasson defeated El Shehaby with two throws for an automatic victory, with about a minute and a half remaining in the bout.

Afterwards, El Shehaby lay flat on his back for a moment before standing to take his place before Sasson, in front of the referee. When Sasson extended his hand, El Shehaby backed away, shaking his head.

The referee then called El Shehaby back to the mat and obliged to him bow; El Shehaby gave a quick nod of his head.

El Shehaby refused to comment afterward.

Brady Ellison won the bronze in archery. Lost a chance at a gold medal in a shoot off. It was a heck of a match against the S. Korean.

Did Ledecky just lap someone?

Basically. I love how she is from the USA. I'd think long distance swimming would be more competitive.

She doesn't train with "flotation" devices.

Obama is probably pissed the American flag is getting so much air time.

 

I'm sure he will be waving it on his upcoming show on the National Parks. After 8 years he is going to go all national on us.
