Th an haircut. American Sarah Hildebrandt Is wrestling in the semi finals this afternoon! She came in as number 5 seed and had quite a day so far. Let's hope she keeps it going.

The number one seed and defending champion in the weight class was already eliminated in an upset today.

Whoa Sarah made it to the gold medal match today but her opponent did not make weight this morning. That's crazy. Now she's going to wrestle a cubaned girl that lost her semi-final match 10 to 0 to the girl that did not make weight.

Guzman was reportedly 100 grams overweight. Can that be true? She made weight all the way to the semis then gets DQ’d? From the pictures, it looks like she could easily make weight with a haircut.

She apparently shaved her head and the team even went so far as to draw blood from her. But yes, 100 g is the number I heard as well. Also, it was the Indian wrestler who missed weight. I'm pretty sure Guzman is the Cuban who took her place in the final.

Yeah it was the woman from India who was dq'd, she passed out from dehydration right after the weigh-in from not eating, having blood drawn and sitting in a sauna all night to make weight.

I remember the wrestlers in high school doing spit like that on weigh-in day. Brutal.

Used to play pee wee football by weight class so there was nothing better than running around a track wearing a garbage bag and and a heavy sweatshirt on a hot day to make weight

Gold Medal match is about to start!
 
Can someone get Scott Hanson a metric conversion chart he can keep handy?

He is clearly finding out about it for the first time, seems unfair to not help him out
 
Seems like every track event is amazing and US men are overachieving in all of them. Did we get a new 'Director of Dietary Supplements' recently?

She won the gold medal!!! with a 3-0 win in the final and outscored her opponents 25-4 all tournament!
 
Argh. Had an escalated support thing happen this morning and spent 6+ hours on a single support call trying to resolve it. Missed everything today.

Oof for volleyball. :(

What else should I go back and watch? 400m track, and men's water polo? Anything else?
 
So much respect for Nigeria. They are talented and fight like hell. Gotta get myself a Kalu jersey, and it would be so awesome if she ever wanted to make her way to the W. The league is loaded, but needs more PG's.

Shout out to my home state. Nigeria's head coach is a Western Carolina Catamount.

But the US Women are the US Women. 59 straight Olympic wins. The most by any team in any sport by a wide margin.

Australia, France or Belgium all have the talent to end that streak, but it is there for now.

I know some think US women's basketball was invented somewhere between 2022 and April 2024, but for the last 30 years, US women's basketball has been the most dominant sports program on the planet. And it's not close.

She was great, though I had no idea about the original opponent being dq’d. But Sarah was pretty dominant

I'm watching replay of women's bouldering. You know how there is always the running joke that we should have a regular person in all these events so we can see just how difficult it is? Well, the first competitor out, from South Africa, is doing her best regular person impressions possible. I feel terrible for her. I know she is obviously an incredible climber, but she is out there flailing around like someone who has never climbed before

The problems are like V9-14, with minimal prep time. So it’s not outside the realm of possibility that even elite climbers can flail on them.
