from the University of Sheffield news about the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160823182954/http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/olympic-medal-rio-alumni-1.597944
In a light-hearted reference to her Sheffield studies, Bryony took a good luck memento with her to Rio - a dinosaur lunchbox given to her by her younger brother. During her degree, Bryony wrote a dissertation on the sounds dinosaurs would have made 'or that we think they made':
"They probably didn't have the vocal chords to roar like they did in the movies," Bryony explained, but probably squawked or chirped like birds.

Men's basketball semifinals are set for Thursday: USA/Serbia, France/Germany. I'm predicting USA/France gold medal game, Serbia/Germany bronze medal game.

It’s so odd when I get a premonition—to paraphrase Stevie Nicks- I keep them to myself.  After watching Letsile Tebogo place 1st in his Heat, ahead of Noah Lyles, I got this feeling (a premonition, if you will) that it would be Tebogo getting the gold in the 200M. And here we are!
 

 

And now, consider the geopolitical dynamics of the Javelin gold medal going from India in the Tokyo Games to their archnemesis Pakistan in Paris.

Noah Lyles got bronze and he has COVID.

In men's basketball, Serbia gave USA a scare but USA came through.  Steph Curry

I’m not even gonna get into the ethics of being in close proximity to teammates who didn’t know he had COVID. I did think it was odd that he was expending so much energy in the walkout and preparation for his race-why not conserve energy?

There’s a saying that tennis players say: if you’re fit enough to show up, you’re fit enough to compete, no excuses.

USA/France game tomorrow is going to the LeBron James and Kevin Durant show, just watch. Maybe Steph Curry as well.

I was shocked USA messed up that bad.

    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
