Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Day 14

Published 4 years, 9 months ago

Description

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are starting to wind down, but our TKFLASTANIs in competition are just starting to heat up!

Along with results for the day's 21-sport program, we are also very concerned about the age of some women (really girls) competing in diving and skateboarding. And we interrupt our results for a major rant about NBC's coverage and programming decisions, spurred when the feed cut out on the men's bronze medal hockey game with about five minutes to go.

Today's sports program includes:

Athletics
Baseball
Basketball
Beach Volleyball
Boxing
Canoe Sprint
Cycling - Track
Diving
Football
Golf
Handball
Hockey
Karate
Marathon Swimming
Modern Pentathlon
Skateboarding
Sport Climbing
Table Tennis
Volleyball
Water Polo
Wrestling.

Plus, our popular segments:

Where's Marnie McBean?
What Officiating/Volunteer Roles Would We Want?
TKFLASTAN Watch
Fantasy League/Brackets Update
What's Up with Mike and Maya?
