Watch for my cousin’s daughter in the Olympics

Her name is Tilali Scanlan. She will be representing American Samoa on their women's swim team. Her first race is July 25 at 7:59 pm Tokyo time. Which is very very early EST. But I'll get up bright and early to watch her. Our family is so excited for her.

Hope she, and all the other athletes, get their chance to compete in this Olympics. Unfortunately it looks like there is still a distinct possibility that Japan may pull the carpet from under this year's competition ( a 20 billion dollar loss for Japan).

@fairydogmother Congrats to your family! Whether she wins or not, it's an honor to be an Olympian!

I think that there won't be any live coverage, that it'll be shown tape delayed.

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

I believe former host Courtney Webb was and has been training for Skeleton competition in the Winter Olympics. Maybe in 2022 Beijing. ?

I believe Skeleton is those 'sled' type of competition that one lays on top of a 'sled' and races downhill in the snow? or non-snow?

Sorry that I haven't web searched the correct info.

Anyway wishing all competitors the very best of luck and safety and success.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I don't know if she is over there in Tokyo.

The Skeleton is a WINTER sport, where they slide down a track of ice.

@ROMARY - Courtney will probably compete in the Winter Olympics in February 2022 in Beijing. I know she has worked hard.

@fairydogmother - What an honor for your whole family! I will be watching! My mom "almost" made the women's swim team many years ago. She was an excellent swimmer, but there were many who were better!
