I like a lot of sports, but some of them are a little off the beaten path.
I just feel the need to post about performances that I enjoyed, or hated...
I would appreciate others joining in.

First, the Russian 6 man indoor volleyball team beat the Americans in 4 sets (best of 5), in a great match yesterday(?) (it's hard to tell with the 12-13 hour time shift). I'm getting old. I don't know most of the names on the team anymore.

This next one is some serious shit.
In Taekwondo, USA Anastasija Zolotic wins the first ever womens Gold.
Most of these matches are totally technical, but AZ kicks the Russian in the face, knocks her down... Just domination.
Should I include links?

In the Skeet shooting competition, Vincent Hancock, and Amber English are tearing it up.
I watched Amber's win in the Women's Skeet comp. She was against a strong champion. Her back story is great, she missed her chance in 2016.
"English, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, was ranked 24th in June despite a third-place finish in the 2018 World Championships."

I have to laugh about our oh so 'woke' men's basketball team ----they spent the last two years focusing on BLM and social activism, but apparently not working as hard on their basketball skills...

SAITAMA, Japan -- Team USA's invincibility in men's basketball is long gone, and the journey to a fourth consecutive gold medal is already fraught with adversity.
France gut-punched the Americans with a brilliant finish for an 83-76 victory to open the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday. It snapped a 25-game Olympic winning streak dating back to 2004 for Team USA.
