Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Day 6

It says something when a 26-sport day feels manageable. Still, there were some amazing moments in competition on Day 6 at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, including:

• 3x3 Basketball - We've got our first Olympic medalists!
• Archery - A cool new feature on the feed.
• Artistic Gymnastics - Men's All Around competition, plus Simone Biles pulls out of the Women's All Around.
• Badminton - A big upset.
• Baseball
• Canoe Slalom - TKFLASTANI Luuka Jones starts her C1 competition.
• Cycling - Road Individual Time Trials - Does NED correct the mistakes from the road race?
• Diving
• Equestrian
• Fencing
• Football - Knockout stage is set.
• Judo
• Rowing - Things we've never before seen in a rowing race.
• Rugby - Is it a 2nd gold for Fiji?
• Sailing - How are our TKFLASTANIS Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea doing in the 49er FX?
• Swimming - Who could look upset about a gold medal? One swimmer can.
• Tennis - A change in start times
• Water Polo - A surprising game for Team USA's women.
• Weightlifting

Plus:

• Weather Watch - A maranovela edition
• Where's Marnie (McBean, our TKF Chef de Mission)?
• TKFLASTAN Watch
• What Officiating Role Would Jill Want?

And we sink into the backstory of Mike and Maya, of the Toyota "First Date" ad.
