17-year-old Lydia Jacoby pulled off a stunning victory in the women’s 100-meter breaststroke at Tokyo2020, upsetting American teammate and defending champion Lilly King.
Lydia Jacoby of the United States, sees the results after winning the final of the women's 100-meter breaststroke at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Tuesday, July 27, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.
“I was definitely racing for a medal. I knew I had it in me,” said Jacoby, who hails from the tiny town of Seward, which has a population of 2,733. “I wasn’t really expecting a gold medal, so when I looked up and saw the scoreboard it was insane.” “I definitely feel like there was a lot of pressure for this," Osaka said."I think it’s maybe because I haven’t played in the Olympics before and for the first year was a bit much. I think I’m glad with how I played, with taking that break that I had.”
“Winning an Olympic gold medal means you’re the best in the world,” Murphy said. “Being third in the world is no slouch.”The U.S. women's basketball team opened play with an 81-72 win over Nigeria that extended the Americans' win streak at the Olympics to 50 games.The U.S. came to Tokyo coming off two rare exhibition losses in Las Vegas earlier this month. The Americans also beat Nigeria by 31 points in that game.
