The S.O. is insufferable today. She has not missed an opportunity to remind me of this.
Yukiko Ueno, Japan’s remarkably resilient right-hander, shut down the Americans and handed them their first loss since Sept. 21, 2000 at the Sydney Games. The U.S. had won 22 straight since then, most with outrageously lopsided scores.
Another gold was certainly within reach. Instead, they walked off Fengtai Field with their heads bowed.
Guess I should not point out the Judo results to her, eh?
