lmao these photos of yuzuru trying not to disturb shoma’s interview is the best thing i’ve seen today (x)
Germany’s Aliona Savchenko and Bruno Massot earned the highest score ever recorded in pairs free skate.
Evgenia Medvedeva earns a short program score of 81.06 in the 2018 Winter Olympics Team Event, breaking the previous record she held, to set her twelfth world record.
Congrats to all of the N.J. athletes who represented Team USA in Rio!
How does New Jersey compare to the rest of the world when it comes to medal count? Here’s a look at how the state ranks: http://nj-ne.ws/YoIFuS0
With an Olympic record tie in the 100m freestyle, 16-year old Penny Oleksiak became the first Canadian to ever win four medals in a single summer Olympics, while 20-year-old Simone Manuel became the first black woman in Olympic history to earn an individual swimming gold medal: “It means a lot [to be the first black woman to earn gold in the pool]. I mean, this medal is not just for me. It’s for a whole bunch of people that came before me and have been an inspiration to me. Maritza [Correia], Cullen [Jones], and it’s for all the people after me, who believe they can’t do it. And I just want to be inspiration to others that you can do it.”
I love Rafael Nadal and all, but tennis just isn’t as exciting without the complete eradication of dinosaurs from Earth.
Okay, he just won and I started clapping at my monitor like he could hear my personal applause, so I guess real tennis is OKAY.
