Here We Go (Really!)

     Our guest blogger, Megan Lawrence, offered information on "local" Olympians.....local to her, at least.


     This has inspired me to do a bit of the same.  Wait.  There's something about that word....


    Anyway, Western New York has sent a significant contingent to Rio, and today, competition begins for one individual.


     Archery is the only sport on the docket today, and the Team competition includes a man from Elma, New York.  I live about two miles from a sign that reads "Welcome To Elma", but, if you keep driving, you wont stay in Elma very long.  Jake Kaminski knows that his hamlet is pretty small, but that has not stopped him from rising to the top of the archery world. 


     Kaminski is currently the 26th highest ranked archer in the world, he was a member of the three man team that took silver at the Games in London.  Best of luck to Jake and his teammates, Zach Garret and Brady Ellison.


    More archery news will follow, you've got to hear about Matt Stutzman!


   Looking forward to seeing some fruit on people's heads tonight.


   Over/under for the timing of the complete Parade of Nations -  2 hours, 53 minutes.


    8/4 Recap -  men's soccer kicked off (!) and lots of squads like kissing their sister.  I predicted three matches, and all of them ended in ties.  I'm still 3-5.


   Today's Guess: -  U.S.Mens Archery 3 man team wins bronze.
