It's a celebration of humanity, Verb. You wouldn't get it.

You watch sport for the fans? Weird.

Man verb, you are just such a totally unrelenting bummer.

Yesterday was a pretty rooted day for Australia. Boomers lost to US in the hoops semi's, men's Hockey team lost to Belgium in the gold medal game and Women's soccer lost to US in the bronze medal game. Kinda deflating to be honest.

But then again this also happened:

- Ashley Moloney is a 21 year old decathlete from Oz who was sitting in 3rd spot going into the last event the 1500m, 64 points ahead of 4th place Garret Scantling of the US and only a few more points ahead of 5th place Canadian Pierce Le Page;
- To stay in 3rd he had to finish within 10 seconds of both but was struggling and fading hard with 800m to go;
- His Aussie teammate (and my now personal favourite olympian) Cedric Dubler was not in medal contention and was running well ahead of Moloney but realised he was struggling. In an act of amazing selflessness Dubler dropped back through the pack to run alongside Moloney, pacing him to get to the end, screaming at him the whole way to keep on going.

In the end Dubler got Moloney over the line in a PB and within the 10 second margin that he had available and Moloney held onto the Bronze.

And THAT is what I'm talking about.

I'm tearing up a little here...

Fuck yeah!

Molly Seidel's bronze in the women's marathon was only her second time in her life to run that race. First being the Olympic qualifier. That's awesome, and she's my new favorite runner.

Questions I will never have an answer to:

1) Who is your favorite runner?

I'm sticking for Japan

Edit : I decided before I let myself know who the teams I was watching were

You're either 100% Dan or 100% Dave.

No gray area here, Bammer.

One of my students who just graduated may be our number 2 female gymnast. Her name is Suni Lee. I hope she makes it.

A quick Goog shows her competing alongside Simone Biles. That's pretty insane. I too hope she makes it!

I can't believe it. This is insane. And she made it?!!?!

So when I gather around the Olympics with my loved ones , I get to say, oh here! the daft twat of RM taut this

Thanks. My co-worker who basically tutored/independent study mentored Suni through high school shared this along with a pic of the team behind the scenes. I really hope they get to compete. I’m nervous for her.

How about this?

Volleyball cracks me up how they have a little huddle/celebration after every. single. point.

Looking forward to the super heavyweight boxing final starting now. Hoping for Richard Torrez Jr.

Unfortunately Jalolov was just too big and strong.

Yeah, amazing! St. Paul had a parade for her yesterday. I was asked to be one of the six teachers who walked in the parade to represent her high school. It felt like the entire Hmong community came out for her.

Just a few hours ago my aforementioned co-worker sent a picture of Suni sitting on a mat with two dozen gymnasts (little kids to teens) in a semicircle facing her. How cool for them. She flies to Auburn tomorrow to begin her college career.
