Megan Rapinoe scored the penalty that took the United States into the Tokyo Olympics semi-finals but the Women's World Cup winner is unimpressed by the lack of atmosphere at games, with COVID-19 restrictions leaving venues empty. After their quarter-final against the Netherlands ended 2-2 following extra-time, Rapinoe's spot-kick sealed a 4-2 shootout on Friday that set up a last-four meeting with Canada in Kashima. Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who made an important stop from Lieke Martens nine minutes from the end of regulation, stepped up with another pair of big saves in the shootout before Rapinoe ended the match. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3zTcaQz

YouTube started adding a new parameter "pp=sAQA" to video URLs on most index style pages (e.g. /feed/subscriptions, search results, the /videos page on any channel). The actual video pages (/watch) strip the pp= parameter, and it doesn't appear to be added to the URLs for the "recommended" videos. Does anybody know what this parameter does and/or why it was added? It's really annoying; using YouTube URLs in the shell now requires quoting due to the "&".

Olympics-Golf-Straka storms to Tokyo lead as Matsuyama grinds

Austrian surprise package Sepp Straka upstaged a slew of golf's biggest names at the Olympics on Thursday to take a one-shot lead in a sweltering opening round as home hero Hideki Matsuyama battled to stay in touch after a recent brush with COVID-19. Teeing off in the first group with his twin brother Sam carrying his bag, 28-year-old Straka shot an Olympic record-equalling eight-under 63 at Kasumigaseki Country Club to be one stroke clear of Thailand's Jazz Janewattananond. Belgium's Thomas Pieters and Mexican Carlos Ortiz were a stroke further back on six-under as headline acts Justin Thomas (71) and Rory McIlroy (69) laboured on an oppressive day marred by a long suspension due to the threat of lightning. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3zSVaKt

Sweden's Olympic 100m butterfly champion Sarah Sjostrom is happy with her last few weeks of preparation ahead of the Tokyo Games despite wishing she had a few more weeks of training, she said on Friday. Sjostrom, who will be competing at her fourth Olympics, had surgery for a broken elbow she suffered falling on ice in February, leaving her out of the water for months. The 27-year-old is due to swim the 50m and 100m freestyle as well as the 100m butterfly which starts on Saturday. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3iDVqG0

At least 100 US athletes unvaccinated as Olympics begin

About 100 of the 613 U.S. athletes descending on Tokyo for the Olympics are unvaccinated, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee's medical chief said hours before Friday night's opening ceremony. Medical director Jonathan Finnoff said 567 of the American athletes had filled out their health histories as they prepared for the trip, and estimated 83% had replied they were vaccinated. The IOC has estimated around 85% of residents of the Olympic Village are vaccinated; that's based that on what each country's Olympic committee reports but is not an independently verified number. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3hXfYdl

Is the United States hoping to win a lot of medals? You bet, says USOPC chief

The United States is once again expected to top the Summer Games medal table at the Tokyo Olympics but U.S. officials were reluctant to give a number on Friday, saying COVID-19 has left the medal picture foggy. While the United States Olympic Paralympic Committee (USOPC) was loath to make a prediction, data analysts Gracenote were less hesitant, venturing that the United States will top the standings with 96 medals in total. This would mark a significant drop from the 2016 Rio Olympics where the United States led the way with 121 medals, including a Games high of 46 golds, but still well ahead of China, which Gracenote has pegged will sweep 66 medals in Tokyo. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3zsItWw

Olympics-Opposition to Tokyo Games podium protest ban grows

Opposition to the International Olympic Committee's ban on podium protests at the Tokyo Games intensified on Friday with more than 150 athletes, academics and social justice advocates signing an open letter demanding changes to Rule 50.

However, there is still a threat of sanctions if protests are made on the podium during the Games. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3zqTs2r
