Day 6: Coronation Day

One of the biggest events of the games - the women's Artistic Gymnastics all-around final - was without the overwhelming favorite and #1 pick Simone Biles, but the show must go on and the coronation of the princess of the games still occurred.  Fire Dragons celebrated all night long with Suni Lee claiming the Gold and getting a chance to well outperform her expectations.  

Even with the win, it's only one event and plenty more wins registered today.  League of Pokemon hangs on for another day to the top spot:

Things remain very tight through the middle of the pack and one medal can swing the whole scoreboard.  Don't forget the team points are worth double! Track and Field events begin tomorrow, too.

Highlights from today (sorry, getting a late start so low on analysis or creativity today):
  • Fencing saw a gold for Deriglazova of League of Pokemon and a Bronze for Volpi of Ra-men+women
  • Table Tennis women's final saw a trio of medals presented: Gold - Chen Meng of Hibachi Ninjas, Silver - Sun Yingsha of Wasabi Warriors, and Bronze to Mima Ito of Fire Dragons
