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. We need your help!
