Tattoo Tuesday

Sporting News, What is on Jordan Chiles’ back? Explaining the spine tattoo (not a scar) visible during 2024 Olympics

Plenty of the USA's gymnasts competing at the 2024 Olympics have tattoos, but few have ones more noticeable than Jordan Chiles.

Chiles — a two-time Olympian who has won silver and gold in the team competition — has at least a dozen tattoos on her arms and back, but the latter is more visible during her competitions in Paris.

 

Chiles has numerous tattoos including one located at the top of her spine. While some initially believed it was a scar, it's actually a depiction of two koi fish swimming.

The tattoo will sometimes peak through the top of Chiles' leotard during competition, so gymnastics fans may catch a glimpse of it during the 2024 Olympics.

Random Celebrity News

For some values of "random", "celebrity" and "news." Bounding into Sports features Three U.S. Female Olympians Who Are Stealing The Show In 2024

Casey Kaufhold is only 20 years old, but she’s already made history as the first U.S. woman to rank as the world No. 1 in women’s recurve archery. That’s no small feat!

She made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games when she was just 17, and while she didn’t snag a medal then, she’s back with a vengeance now. Casey is a favorite for gold in Paris, and if she wins, she’ll be the first U.S. woman to win an individual archery medal since 1976. Talk about pressure!

Anita Alvarez, at 27, is no stranger to the Olympic stage. She’s heading to her third Olympics, bringing tons of experience and determination to the U.S. artistic swimming team.

Despite not medaling in her previous attempts, Anita’s resilience is something to admire.

With Russia out of the competition this year, there’s a golden opportunity for new champions to emerge. Anita is ready to seize it! Her dedication and passion for artistic swimming make her a standout athlete. We’re excited to see her shine in Paris.

 

Kelly Cheng – Beach Volleyball. Kelly Cheng is 28 and the only Team USA beach volleyball player with previous Olympic experience. She competed at the Tokyo Games with her former partner, Sarah Sponcil, but they were knocked out in the Round of 16. Now, Kelly is back with her old USC partner, Sara Hughes, and they’re ready to make waves on the beach.

These two won back-to-back national championships together in 2016 and 2017. More recently they took gold at the 2023 world championships in Mexico.

I haven't watched enough beach volleyball this year.

The big news of the week is that somebody negotiated a complicated hostage swap between Russia, the US, Germany, and a host of other countries holding Russian spies and terrorists, resulting in the return of several US hostages, and the return of a number of extremely dangerous people to Russia. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris attended the landing of the hostages in the US, and Kamala spun out a word salad about, well, nothing really.
