☆ Tom Daley ‘happiest I’ve been’ as novel approach with Noah Williams produces Olympic silver medal

Paris CNN —Days before taking part in the Paris Olympics, Tom Daley already felt like he had won a gold medal, such was his joy at having his kids at the competition with him. On Monday, the British diver got his hands on an actual medal, too, winning silver alongside partner Noah Williams in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform. That marked the fourth medal of Daley’s long Olympic career, dating all the way back to the Beijing Games in 2008 when he competed as a fresh-faced 14-year-old. “It’s the happiest I’ve been in diving in all these years because diving wasn’t necessarily my top priority,” he told reporters. The silver medal adds to the gold and two bronzes that Daley already owns, but the 30-year-old has many titles besides Olympic medal winner.

Her face looked as if it had been inflated with an air pump. Her leg joints were so swollen that she could hardly bend her knees or ankles. “I was like, who is this person looking back at me?” Lee, who is competing for the United States at the Paris Games, said in an interview.

Paris CNN —Olympics organizers have “deeply apologized” to South Korea over a “human error” that saw its 143 athletes wrongly introduced as North Korean at the opening ceremony. The mishap occurred on Friday, when the South Korean athletes made their debut on a boat cruising down the River Seine. Both the French and English announcements falsely identified them as being from the “People’s Democratic Republic of Korea.”That’s the full name of North Korea. South Korea’s Sports Ministry has said it “expresses regret” over the introduction of the South Korean delegation during the opening broadcast. Olympics organizers have “deeply apologized” to South Korea over a “human error” that saw its 143 athletes being wrongly introduced as North Korean at the opening ceremony.

Simone Biles competing in the vault during the finals of the gymnastics team competition at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Five years later, at the U.S. Classic in 2021, she introduced the second two-flip vault: the Yurchenko double pike. The Yurchenko double pike starts with a roundoff onto the springboard and a back handspring onto the vaulting table. That’s the “double pike” part. The move requires a preposterous amount of power coming off the vaulting table and allows hardly any margin for error.
