Day 3: Something in the Water

Day 3 is droppin' that coin and these medals are comin' out CLEAN cuz the water events are producing for our teams.

Diving saw Tom Daley scoring the first gold of the games for SamuRyan.  Daley ended the Chinese run of domination in diving and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Swimming got Caeleb Dressel going with a dominating 4x100 relay win, which has Wasabi Warriors excited for her top pick. The hyped match between Katie Ledecky of the US and Ariane Titmus of Australia did not disappoint with Ariane swimming like Ariel the mermaid and zooming by Ledecky at the end. TokYoMomma celebrates the point victory over SamuRyan.  The Aussies tagged another one on the board with Emma McKeon grabbing a bronze for Wasabi Warriors.

Other medal winner quick hits (not from the water):

• Archery - Kim Woo-Jin wins the men's team event for Korea and for SamuRyan (Woooooo!!!)
• Fencing - Sofia Velikaya slashes her way to a Silver in the Sabre for Pokemon League
• Gymnastics - Big day for lots of teams with the first medals handed out for the Men's team finals.  The final came down to .1 points between Gold and Silver, and the Northern Eurasian Olympic Committee hung on for Gold grabbing needed points for Ra-Men+Women and Hibachi Ninjas. China grabbed the Bronze (Also less than a point from Gold), and SamuRyan settles for 3 points.
• Table Tennis saw the mixed team finals grab a win for the home Country in Japan. Mima Ito puts 10 more points on the board for Fire Dragons. The expected favorites, China, lost the gold medal match and settle for silver, giving 5 points to League of Pokemon and SamuRyan.
• Weightlifting keeps rolling along and the Chinese women lift up another medal - a silver for League of Pokemon.

After not winning anything yet, I was very excited to have 5 medals go on the board for my team today.  Who will be the next big mover and shaker on the board?  I know TokYoMama is excited for #1 pick Simone Biles to finally have her first medal night tomorrow.
Also, Kara-oke - wrestling hasn't started yet so we're all going to be slammed to the mat by your Northern Eurasian team soon, don't worry.
