BREAKING: Alysa Liu wins the gold medal in women's figure skating.

ALYSA LIU

From @theathletic.com: What a comeback from Amber Glenn. The American figure skater had a nearly flawless routine in her free skate after her disappointing women’s short program. “What a brilliant, redemptive skate. She just fought so hard.” nyti.ms/4arq55z

AMBER GLENN, EVERYONE 👏 Her final skate in the women’s singles free skate ends with a BANG.

Evaluator note: my favorite Ted Talk which I use when teaching context, equity & high-quality RCTs is by Dr. Dixon Chibanda of Zimbabwe. He created a national evidence-based program of grandmothers doing talk therapy on benches. Excited to see it go international in DC! youtu.be/Cprp_EjVtwA?...

It's fun to see siblings on Olympic teams together. This morning, for me, it's the Peterson sisters on the USA Women's Curling Team. 🇺🇸

This is what it feels like to know things.

FYI, the level of "Fail!!" of NBC's AI for the opening ceremony of the Olympics should be studied. Truly embarrassing translations, especially for the Italian National Anthem.
