- GRACE MCCALLUM IS AN OLYMPIAN Minnesota goes 3 for 3 at the gymnastics trials, with McCallum, Suni Lee and Shane Wiskus all making the team for Tokyo. Unreal.
- Oh my God, Suni Lee is the Olympic all-around champion
- Canada’s loyal fans give them a great ovation. But this stings; Larocque took off her silver medal as soon as it was hung around her neck. #StribOly18
- Wow ... Mark Coyle would not talk to 60 Minutes to explain his decision to cut men's gymnastics, tennis and indoor track. Not a good look.
- Some on-ice celly photos ... Luke Kunin here to cheer on his wife, Sophia.
- The organist in Beijing is @DieterRuehle of the LA Kings/Dodgers. He just played "The Hockey Song." Brilliant!
00:00 - As my husband just pointed out ... A guy who exploited people by taking orders for PPE and not delivering it sat down and answered questions in the opening segment of 60 Minutes. Mark Coyle refused to talk about sports cuts. Really reflects poorly on the U.
- You know what else blows me away, in addition to @TeamShuster’s gold? The fact that thousands of people are tweeting about curling in the middle of the night in the US. #StribOly18
- I hope our male colleagues understand: this is not funny. It's scary. It's horrifying. And women need your support to make it stop.
- Replying to @BorzMNFor the record: I am heartbroken @StarTribune decided not to send anyone to cover the Paris Olympics. As @BorzMN said, we proudly covered our Minnesota athletes at the Games for more than 50 years. Senior management pulled the plug; I never got an explanation.
- Two more Whitecaps signings to report—and they’ll be popular ones. Olympians Hannah Brandt and Lee Stecklein to play for Whitecaps. strib.mn/2I35fsU
- Holy cow ... your silver and bronze US medalists in all-around—behind Simone Biles—are both Minnesotans! Sunisa Lee (St Paul) is second, and Grace McCallum (Isanti) completes a phenomenal rally for third. Grace was 9th after the first night.
