(Patty McMurray) As many of the “woke” athletes representing the United States are focused on kneeling during our national anthem or using their 15 seconds of fame to promote woke social causes, athletes from nations around the world are focused on winning.

The Hill reports – Team USA athletes suffered multiple upset losses in the first official day of competition at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday, the first time in decades the U.S. has walked away with no medals on Day 1 of the Summer Games.
A total of 11 gold medals were given out Saturday for events in archery, cycling, fencing, judo, air rifle and pistol shooting, taekwondo, and weightlifting. However, the U.S. athletes did not receive gold, silver or bronze in any of the events Saturday.
Olympic historian Bill Mallon pointed out that this was the first time the U.S. did not get any medals on Day 1 of the Summer Olympics since Munich in 1972, though Team USA also failed to medal on the first day of the Winter Olympics in 2018.
Bill Mallon tweeted some statistics showing the last time the USA didn’t win a single medal on opening day of the Olympics:
Last happened at the Summer Olympics in 1972 at Munich.
Part of a stretch from 1960/64/68/72 when the US did not medal on day 1.
Have done so every other Games 1932-2016.
You can really only count starting in 1932 as there were no “first days” in earlier years, for various reasons.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
