Kind of an upset. Aori and Pamela Rosa no where near podium. Nishiya looked solid. ---

Two Golds for Japan, now American knows how the U.K feels about every sport they invented too and never win! Haha. Friend in NYC skates with a girl there that is representing the U.K (Bombette Martin?) and messaged me earlier. Said she is just flying out of NYC tonight for the park comp, that can’t be right, right? Seems super late in the day? So we have two American girls representing the U.K in the park comp, including Sky Brown of course? ---

Really? I thought it’d all to close together for some reason? Like ‘get that one done, move on to track and field, past the velodrome and to the dancing horse…’ keep it all grouped together but I guess some of the street skaters are taking part in the park comp too, ah, so they can rest up. Makes sense now. ---
