Billy Bender and Oliver Bub (which do sound like made up names) represented the Red, White, & Blue in Men's Pair Rowing and just advanced to the Semi-Final from their Group.

We got back-to-back American Women Fencing Matches right now as they both individually (Tartakovsky and Skarbonkiewicz) attempt to advance to the Sweet 16 in their tournament.

Tartakovsky (2022 NCAA National Champ) blows a lead and gets bounced.

Skarbonkiewicz became completely unhinged and gave up a 2 point lead to allow 7 straight points to her Turk competitor. Brutal.

0-2 for Team USA there.

USA can redeem itself by getting through Tatiana Nazlymov to the Round of 32 now.

Fun Fact: Nazlymov was recently accused by another USA Teammate of match fixing. Which leads me to wanting to watch but not wager on her match starting shortly.

Tati Nazlymov (USA) was trailing 12-8.

What does the alleged match fixer do?

She takes a moment to compose herself (and possibly allow some more in-match wagers to be placed on her) and rallies to lead 14-12 before ultimately losing by a score of 15-14.

While all USA Women have now been eliminated in the event, Tati has still earned a special place in my heart with her thirst trap Instagram profile photo, Ivy League Pedigree, mysterious match fixing aura, and lovely smile.

Hope to see more of her in L.A.

Anything from the Ivy League is an instant red flag.

Great call. I love the Heat 1 in Qualifiers in these longer distances because you inevitably get some swimmer that almost becomes a full lap behind.

Good reminder the margin of performance difference between good to world-class in an event.

USA Women's Field Hockey in a little over an hour against Spain.

Spain is a big favorite.

USA is leading 1-0 in the 2nd and playing very hard.

USA was a +450 underdog in the match before it started.

USA gets a draw vs Spain in Women's Field Hockey.

USA was ranked 12 out of 12 teams in the field by all the major betting sites.

Glad for the ladies that got a result.

USA Rugby women looking like the men out there. France has one dangerous player and they can't mark her.

Yeah. This rugby match is brutal.

At least it doesn’t really matter since both teams have already qualified for the quarterfinals.

Might have been smart to keep an eye on the girl destroying you but what do I know about rugby
