Olympics 2021 -- Competition and Results
Not much to report about day one -- the U.S. failed to medal for the first time in, well, forever:
Team USA ended day one of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics without a medal in the Summer Games for the first time since 1972.
The Americans competed in five of the seven events on Saturday. In the first medal event, China’s Yang Qian took the women’s 10m air rifle final gold, while Team USA competitor and event favorite Mary Tucker finished sixth.
World No. 1 Brady Ellison and teammate Mackenzie Brown, competing in the archery mixed team event, were eliminated after losing to Indonesia 5-4 in the first round.
I was pleased to watch Kara Lawson's three-on-three team dismantle highly regarded France.
