On Tuesday night, NBC primetime viewers were treated to an Olympics
performance for the ages. American hurdler Sydney McLaughlin came from
behind to defeat fellow American and defending Olympic champion
Dalilah Muhammad in the 400-meter hurdles, capturing the gold medal
and setting a new world record in the process. The race was both
extremely exciting—all three medalists, including bronze medalist
Femke Bol of the Netherlands, set new personal bests with their
finishing times—and a big moment for the U.S. Olympic team.

US wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock could barely contain her pride in
country after her historic gold medal win in the women’s 68-kilogram
freestyle division — winning a new legion of fans for her unabashed
patriotism.
“I love representing the USA. I love living there. I love it, and I’m
so happy I get to represent USA!” said the exuberant 28-year-old
Texas raised grappler, who is the first black woman and the second
woman ever to claim a wrestling gold for the US after her win Tuesday
over Nigeria’s Blessing Oborududu.
“It feels amazing,” Mensah-Stock, wearing an American flag draped
around her shoulders, told reporters following the match, curling her
hands into a heart shape.
Fans cheered Mensah-Stock’s win — and her joyous celebration of the
Red, White and Blue — which came after US hammer thrower Gwen Berry
turned her back on the National Anthem during Olympic trials and Raven
Saunders made a symbol of protest after winning silver in the shot
put.
“Wrestles like a badass, but has a heart as gold as that medal! Her
enthusiasm & joy for life are infectious,” Amy Burchard wrote.

[Posing with American flags must have infuriated the people in the
loony left in NBC's and MSNBC's audience.]
