Picture of the Day: South Korea’s First Medal of Rio Olympics
South Korean judoka Jeong Bo-kyeong bites her silver medal as she stands on the podium during the medal ceremony for the women’s under-48kg at the 31st Summer Olympic Games at Carioca Arena 2 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 5, 2016. Jeong won silver for South Korea’s first medal at the Rio Games. She lost to Paula Pareto of Argentina in the final. (Yonhap)
“for the women’s under-48kg at the 31st Summer Olympic Games”
WTF does that mean? The women’s under-48kg what? Body weight?
Are they giving medals for low weight?
If so, I know a scrawny thing with a body like a sack of antlers that can probably win gold in 2020.
Interesting bit of fluff:

I noticed this line:
More at the link, of course.
Selfies, snacks, Nike Jerseys? No where nearly as many “minders” as usual.
While I seriously doubt that Fatty Kim is being friendly without an ulterior motive, it’s nice to see him not acting up every single day.
I’m sure he’ll be up to his old tricks once this show is over, and the next one begins.
Bronze? What a loser❗️

Tbone failed to plsce in Reading Comprehension? What a loser!
Psalm 1 English Standard Version (ESV)
Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
