So grateful that they had the Tokyo Olympics this year. I think it's even more meaningful because they whole world has been affected by the pandemic in almost the same ways and this event gave everyone the opportunity to connect and come together. The athletes had to put their competing dreams on hold for a year and find ways to train in spite of all the limitations. There were alot of noteworthy momments this year like the performances of Team USA with the most medals and the track team of Jamaica. Im also happy that Team India got a decent amount of medals this year. Simone Biles shed light on mental health in athletics and how it can impact safety and performance and that was a different type of accomplishment. She proved that a true champion knows their limitations and knows when to step back and when to make the comeback. Overall, congrats to all of the athletes all over the world for their performance and their hardwork despite adversity. And thank you to Tokyo for hosting the Olympics and the IOC for making this possible in a safe way. It only proves true to what we have always been doing since the pandemic started, finding a way and making a way. Its uplifting to see, especially during these trying times that we are experiencing collectively. Its bittersweet that its all over but I look forward to the Paralympic games and Paris 2024. And as they say thank you in Japan, "Arigato". #tokyo2020 #olympichistory #olympicherstory #congratstoalltheathletesaroundtheworld #perserverance #strength #determination #resilience #paralympics #paris2024 #Arigato #untilnexttime https://www.instagram.com/p/CSXhm4yl5mYS3GwKQdRr-fZU1L9t_a5DudsbwM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

You NEED to see this perfect 10.0 dive at the Olympics

This is what perfection looks like.

14-year-old diver Quan Hongchan from China did the absolutely unimaginable on Thursday, shattering the Olympic diving record in the 10m platform — which included two perfect 10.0 dives. This, her last of the competition, has to be seen to be believed.

"Remember this! You may never see anything like it again." After receiving two perfect 10 scores, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan from China is the Olympic CHAMPION in women's 10m platform diving.#TokyoOlympics | #OlympicHERstory pic.twitter.com/B7uHvnMEpB

Not only were the elements of her dive executed flawlessly, but she made less of a splash entering the water from 32 feet in the air than my 4-year-old does jumping off the edge of the pool. The dive, and the perfect ripped entry left the announce team stunned, imploring viewers to make a mental note of what they’d witnessed, because it would likely never happen again.

Quan’s five dive total was an absolutely mind boggling 466.20 out of a possible 477. In a sport where you can routinely medal with dives in the 83-86 range, Quan averaged 93.2. To put this in perspective the prior Olympic record of 447.70 required a five dive average of 89.54. So this is a case where the 14-year-old didn’t just break the record, she destroyed it.

Just in case that all wasn’t amazing enough, consider this: The Olympics were Quan’s first major international competition, because she was too young to compete. She only turned 14 earlier this year, and wouldn’t have been able to compete at the games, had they been held as scheduled in 2020.

Now she’s reached the top of her sport at the youngest possible age.

At Tokyo Olympics, skateboarding teens blaze trail for women

TOKYO (AP) – On the Olympic podium stood 3 teenage women — 13, 13 and 16 — with weighty gold, silver and bronze medals around their young necks, benefits for having actually landed techniques on their skateboards that the majority of kids their age just get to see on Instagram.

After years in the shadows of guys’s skateboarding, the future for the sport’s bold, trailblazing females unexpectedly looked brighter than ever at the Tokyo Games on Monday.

It’s anybody’s guess the number of girls tuned in to view Momiji Nishiya of Japan win the launching Olympic skateboarding occasion for females, providing the host country a sweep of golds in the street occasion after Yuto Horigome won the guys’s occasion.

Japan’s Momiji Nishiya and Brazil’s Rayssa Leal have 2 things in typical:

They are both 13 years of ages and they are both Olympic medalists.#TokyoOlympics | #OlympicHERstory pic.twitter.com/uuMckwPLuS

— #TokyoOlympics (@NBCOlympics) July 26, 2021

But all over the world, women attempting to encourage their moms and dads that they, too, must be permitted to skate can now indicate the 13-year-old from Osaka as an Olympic-sized example of skateboarding’s possibilities.

A champ of couple of words — “Simply delighted,” is how she explained herself — Nishiya let her board do the talking, riding it down rails taller than she is. She stated she’d commemorate by asking her mom to treat her to a supper of Japanese yakiniku barbecue.

The silver went to Rayssa Leal, likewise 13 — Brazil’s 2nd silver in skateboarding after Kelvin Hoefler completed in 2nd put on Sunday in the guys’s occasion.

Both Nishiya and Leal became their nations’ youngest ever medalists. The bronze went to 16-year-old Funa Nakayama of Japan.

“Now I can convince all my friends to skateboard everywhere with me,” Leal stated.

She initially captured the skateboarding world’s attention as a 7-year-old with a video on Instagram of her trying, and landing, a dive with a flip down 3 stairs while using a gown with angel wings.

“Skateboarding is for everyone,” she stated.

I imagine being as cool as 13-year-old Rayssa Leal

But that hasn’t constantly held true for girls, even amongst the 20 female leaders who rode the rails, ramps and ledges at the Ariake Urban Sports Park.

The field consisted of Leticia Bufoni of Brazil, whose board was snapped in 2 by her daddy when she was a kid to attempt to stop her from skating.

She was 10.

“I cried for hours,” she remembered. “He thought girls shouldn’t skate because he had never seen a woman skate before.”

Bufoni included, half-joking, that getting him to relent had actually been more difficult than receiving the Tokyo Games.

“So I want be that girl that the little girls can show their parents and be like, ‘She can skate. I want to be like her,’” Bufoni stated.

Annie Guglia of Canada stated she didn’t see any other women skate throughout her very first 2 years on her board. The very first contest she went into, at the age of 13, had no females’s classification, so organizers needed to develop one for her.

“And I won, because I was the only one,” the 30-year-old Guglia stated. “We have come a long way.”

13-year-old Momiji Nishiya of Japan made history by ending up being the very first Olympic champ EVER in females’s skateboarding

Skaters forecasted that by time the next Olympics roll around, in Paris in 2024, the females’s field will have a higher depth of skill and techniques, developed on the structures they laid in Tokyo.

“It’s going to change the whole game,” U.S. skater Mariah Duran stated. “This is like opening at least one door to, you know, many skaters who are having the conversations with their parents, who want to start skating.

“I’m not surprised if there’s probably already like 500 girls getting a board today.”

Nishiya is going locations with hers. She stated she intends to be at the Paris Games “and win.”

“I want to be famous,” she stated.

But initially — barbecue. Her thrilled mother didn’t take much convincing.

“I’ll definitely take her,” she stated.
