Keep the Flame Alive ·

2021/09/03

CORRECTION: In the women's wheelchair basketball competition, we said the US defeated China 41-36, when in fact, China won this game. China will face Netherlands for the gold medal. The US will play Germany for the bronze. We regret this error. It's Day 10 of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, which means the team events are starting to wind down. But, the competition's heating up! We've got all the action on the day's events, who was soggy and who stayed dry, and (as always) some thoughts on today's

It's the penultimate day of competition, which means many sports are wrapping up their tournaments and crowning Olympic champions. Or, in some sports, they're protesting their scores and making commentators work overtime. Plus, it's a hot morning up in Sapporo (surprise!), which means a tough episode of our maranovela.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are starting to wind down, but our TKFLASTANIs in competition are just starting to heat up! Along with results for the day's 21-sport program, we are also very concerned about the age of some women (really girls) competing in diving and skateboarding. And we interrupt our results for a major rant about NBC's coverage and programming decisions, spurred when the feed cut out on the men's bronze medal hockey game with about five minutes to go. Today's sports program includes:

Day 12 of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics turned out to be the day where Jill and Alison lost it. So much Olympic action, so much lost sleep, so many names to try to pronounce! That said, Day 12 also features the race of the Games: 400m hurdles. Do yourself a favor and watch it (maybe again) before the show. We've also got action in: Artistic Gymnastics - Last day of competition, and Simone Biles is back! Athletics - TKFLASTANI DeAnna Price competed!
