    The U.S. Women's Volleyball Team just beat Brazil in the semi-finals. The U.S. advances to play the Gold Medal match on Sunday against the winner of the second semifinals, either Turkey or Italy.

    What unbelievable play! I'm glad I don't have heart issues.

    We have had some great wins.
    And now they are finally admitting failure after the death of that poor girl boxer.

    Who died? (I got rural internet. I'm not burning it up on a video.) And who is admitting failure?

    I briefly surfed into it, heard the word "History," and changed the channel. They also added skateboarding this time. I guess next games they'll include graffiti.

    And I like curling.

    After repeatedly claiming the two trans boxers were women, they did dna testing to find xy chromosomes although family still claimed they were raised as girls.
    Or ponies, I forget.
