    In the final set, Jordan Thompson made an incredible dig of a deflected kill that kept a long rally alive, which the US won to tie the set at 6. She then had a big kill to take a 7-6 lead.

    It's already ruined. The gold medalist, Camryn Rogers, was born in British Columbia and graduated from Cal-Berkeley.

    Annette could've won her medal for Nigeria, but their Olympic committee blew it in 2021 when they failed to enroll her. So, she switched sides.

    After 3 of 6 hammer throws, Annette Echikunwoke leads the field by a full meter.

    A Canadian women fired one out there 1.5 meters beyond Annette's best toss. Silver for Echikunwoke. That's wonderful!
