Sports Around the World: 7/11-7/17

 

Here’s this week’s update on sports around the world

 

 


EURO CUP

Portugal beat France in the Euro Cup final.  Cristiano Ronaldo seemed ecstatic, but we’re not sure manager Fernando Santos was quite as thrilled by Ronaldo’s expression of celebration, but it’s funny to watch.


OLYMPICS

TRACK & FIELD

Track & Field Olympic Trials for Team USA wrapped up in Eugene, OR and 126 people have now been named to the team, including Devon Allen.

GYMNASTICS

Team USA’s Gymnastics team has been named.  We’ll see Gabby Douglas & Aly Raisman go for gold again, along with breakout star Simone Biles.

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Kerri Walsh is the 3x defending gold medalist.  Will she be able to get a 4th medal in Rio with new partner April Ross?  Kerri and former partner Misty May-Treanor beat April in the 2012 London final.

SOUVENIRS

Souvenirs for the Olympics have started popping up…we’re guessing that this is not an official partner of the Olympic games.


TENNIS

Serena Williams brought her own plate to The Champions’ Dinner.   She and Venus could’ve brought their own cups too after their doubles victory!
